Question: Stops working for no apparent reason
Document: The carafe has such a small opening that you can't get your hand inside to clean it properly. The top is difficult to screw on correctly, especially first thing in the morning before you've had a cup of coffee! Other than that, it worked pretty well for nine months. It does keep the coffee very hot for hours, which is nice. But after nine months, it started overflowing for no apparent reason. Then smoke started coming out of it! No more Cusinart products for me.
Great carafe -- kept coffee hot for an entire day. But as other reviewers noted, from time to time the coffee overflows out of the filter if there is anything at all that prevents the coffee from flowing out of the very temperamental basket -- a single ground can block it up. When this happens, the coffee overflows onto the bottom of the maker, getting into the electronics. And then it stops working. Mine stopped after this happened the second time in six months.
I bought this coffee maker as a back up in case mine stops working! The 12 cup capacity is nearly impossible to find in a thermal carafe style! Love the more compact unit. So many on the market are big and bulky. I took the first one I bought to work, after my 5 years of use  at my home, and it still works! We are no longer drinking or smelling burnt coffee or cleaning a pot that was left on a burner too long!
If there is a fix to this problem, I'd like to know. If the coffee beans are not completely ground to a powder, pieces of the bean get stuck when the coffee drips into the carafe, causing all the coffee to pour over onto the counter. Having had it for a year, we are completely dissatisfied with it and would not recommend it. It's design flaws are really not apparent until you've used it awhile.
My wife and I love this coffee maker. It is so nice that it stops electricity from being consumed ($) and keeping the coffee fresh and hot for hours without continuing to be cooked.
I unpacked this one and examined each and every piece as it came out of the box/wrapping foam. No apparent defects. It processed plain water fine. I washed the carafe and made my first pot of coffee. Perfect! Happy with that. Now with a month of experience with it, making one or two pots a day, I am quite pleased.
During moves, the tiny mechanism that stops flow broke on that unit, but we now just wait until brewing is done to pour coffee since it has no affect on function. We bought this second one because we're leaving that coffee maker at our other home. Love this.
The loud &#34;beeping&#34; when coffee has finished it's brew cycle is useless and annoying...wish there was a switch to defeat this feature (needing to know the precise moment the coffee is ready is silly to me...you know it when it stops brewing..the water is gone! ).
They sent out a brand new unit still in the box. Thought I was good and must have gotten a defective unit. NOTE: Cuisinart is actually Conair Corp....Now, new unit 8 months later has failed. Same issue as the first. This time mid-pot it stops brewing and thinks it is done.
Because you don't have to set the clock or the automatic timer very often, not a big deal. I like the loud beep because I can make the coffee and then continue getting ready for work while it brews. The second it's done, I know. )So why a five star rating? It makes a great brew. I am willing to deal with the flaws as it is apparent no other maker in this price range is both flawless and makes the perfect brew.
Answer: I am very pleased with ours, it keeps the coffee hot for hours without a heated base cooking it down to a bitter brew. The only thing that bothers me is that the white words by the buttons washed off early out.
