Speed Didn't Help the Outcome

"I love Cuisinart coffee makers and bought this to replace another brand that was making coffee that had a metallic taste. I own an older model that makes the coffee slower and I believe over all makes better coffee. This version is faster but the coffee grounds always end up sticking to the spray dispenser. I guess it you want great coffee you just need to have more patience and not order the Cuisinart that brews quickly. (This one)"

Best Coffee Maker purchase in a long time

"We have owned this coffee maker for several months now and it has worked flawlessly. One of the best features is that it pours coffee without spilling. I like the auto off feature to prevent the coffee maker from burning the coffee in the pot. If you are looking for a good quality coffee maker at a decent price this is the one to buy."

Great coffeemaker!

"Looked at many different coffeemakers and read many reviews, ultimately decided on this one. To be honest, I never use any of the additional features like "bold" versus "regular" brew or change the carafe temperature, but I am very pleased with this coffeemaker. It brews quickly, quietly and having had it for about six months, haven't had any issues. Definitely recommend!"

Easy to use and clean, great design and features

"My husband and I have owned this coffee maker for about two years now and we have had no problems with any feature. The coffee maker is easy to set up out of the box and easy to schedule for fresh coffee each morning! It looks great on our counter too with the stainless steel and black design.
One of my favorite things about this coffee maker is the ability to tell the appliance that you are only making 1-4 cups. Yes, you can make any number of cups on any coffee maker, but this one brews the coffee differently when you are using a small amount of coffee grinds and water. It allows you to get the same great taste that you would with a full 12 cup portion.
At my office, we have an older version of this model that still runs well. It doesn't have the clean function, which I miss, and makes it harder to keep clean. However, it has to be at least 6-7 years old and still makes us all great coffee each day. My coworkers keep it on hot and drink it throughout the day and it never gets burned or starts tasting differently. The warming function in the machine does a great job of making the coffee taste fresh all day long.
I would definitely recommend this machine to a friend because of the simplicity, sleek design, and the durability of the machine. I look forward to purchasing more Cuisinart products after my experience with the Extreme Brew Coffee Maker."

Great gift

"My husband bought this for me, one of the best gifts I've ever received! I love good coffee and this makes a really great brew. It's never bitter and my guests comment on what great coffee I serve. I'm using the same beans and water, so it must be this coffee maker.
Highly recommend as a gift or as a treat for yourself."

love it!

"Yay! Finally a coffee maker that makes strong, HOT coffee! Would give it 5 stars but don't like the fact that the time display is not lit up. Other than that, I love it and don't have a problem with "overflow" as stated by other users and I put in a lot of grounds. I don't use a paper filter as the permanant filter works really well for me. Oh, almost forgot one of the BEST features....DRIPLESS pouring!!!!!!!! Really! Buy this coffee maker!"

Great cup of coffee

"I have been using this coffee maker for a few months now and am very pleased. I especially like the 1-4 cup feature
for smaller pots. Great at maintaining heated coffee without burn smell. Was hesitatant about switching from a thermal carafe coffee maker, but have been very happy with this coffee maker.

Great Coffeemaker

"After having bad luck with the new Calphalon coffee maker (junk - stopped working in 2 weeks) and then trying a KitchenAid version that also failed miserably, we decided on this one. Have had it now for 3 weeks and we love it. The side window helps you see how much water you are pouring in, the filter basket is simple. You can set the auto on timer as well as how long you want the pot to stay on after brewing up to 4 hours. The “bold” coffee feature is great as is the 3 levels that you can regulate the carafe heating element. The carafe pours without spilling. The machine is quiet when it brews and while it is on - no ticks, or weird sounds like many of the others. Makes a pot of coffee quickly. Overall very satisfied."
