Summary: great coffee maker 2009-01-06
Comment: Cuisinart Coffee Maker is great - keeps coffee warm. Saves on your light bill - shuts off after the coffee is made and keeps in warm in the Thermo coffee holder. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new one.

Summary: Not such hot coffee 2009-01-05
Comment: I bought this coffeemaker as a replacement for a Cuisinart 12-cup coffemaker with a thermal carafe (model DTC-975) which no longer worked because the brew start button had become unresponsive. However, it did make fabulous coffee. From the start, this newer model (DCC-1150) has made coffee that is unremarkable and tasteless. In addition, although the carafe on the old model would keep coffee warm for 6-8 hours, the coffee made in this coffeemaker is barely hot immediately after brewing. Upon experimentation, I determined that the old coffeemaker heated the water to 175-180 degrees F and the newer coffeemaker only get to 160-165 degrees. According to research, optimal brew temperature for extraction of the aromatics in coffee is 175-205 degrees F. Using the "1-4 cup" feature on the DCC-1150, which is supposed to "double heat the water, so coffee is piping hot" only increased the water temperature by 1-2 degrees, still well below the minimum temperature required to extract aromatics from the beans. I think I'll see if I can get may old coffeemaker repaired!

Summary: Too complicated 2009-01-03
Comment: I just finished putting the water through this coffee maker to clean it before making my first pot of coffee. The filter basket sat filled with hot water, and nothing I could do would make the water finish coming down into the pot. I finally lifted the hot water out with the filter and dumped it. I put the top on the carafe because the instructions said the water would flow through it, but I ended up water all over the counter. So I re-seated the filter like others have suggested, and shook the carafe top and replaced it, too. Now my 2nd pot of hot water came out fine. The instructions tell you how to fold down the paper filter seam so it fits in the coffee filter properly. I supposed now I can train everyone in my family on using this product, but I think I'll just return it. This product is too complicated.

Summary: Broken after 10 days 2009-01-02
Comment: I purchased this coffee maker for my parents for Christmas. I was lured by its attractive look, its programmable brew function, and its auto shut-off function. I can't speak in detail to its performance within the ten measly days that it worked (as it was a gift), but I assume it was at least fine. I recall my dad expressing surprise that even with the machine turned off the coffee was still hot after two and a half hours. Until today, the thing did what it was supposed to do - look pretty on my parents' counter, make the coffee, and stay hot for an adequate amount of time. Today, my dad started brewing some coffee, and upon return found that the machine had shut itself off completely, mid-brew. We tried different outlets and it wouldn't even display the time. This machine is now a great-looking paperweight. After reading some of the other negative reviews, I think I'm just going to get my money back and purchase something else. I will post an update on the return process.

Summary: Used Once... Lid fell... large chunk came off. 2008-12-29
Comment: I received this coffee maker as a gift. I was pouring the coffee and didn't have the lid tight enough... it's difficult to adjust. The lid fell on the vinyl floor and a large piece cracked off. I would not recommend this coffee maker.
