Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: fresh aggravation with each morning cup Comment: I bought this coffee maker because it was one of the only four-cup makers I could find, and I have other Cuisinart appliances that I love. It does make good coffee. However, it spills, it sloshes, it makes an enormous mess. I pour it slowly, I pour it quickly, I pour it with the lid on and with the lid off the carafe- doesn't matter. I end up with water everywhere when I'm filling it up, and I end up with coffee everywhere when I'm trying to pour a cup. It's also nearly impossible to pour all the water into the reservoir - there's far too much lip on the carafe cover, and the angle is very awkward. If you do manage to end up with some coffee in your cup, it IS good, and it does stay very hot. I'm not sure that's worth the extreme irritation first thing each morning, though. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice for a small desktop but not built to last Comment: Had this Cuisinart coffee maker for a year now. The coffee was fairly decent in quality compared to some its larger siblings from the same company, but the unit just isn't built to last. First, I had to return this item after a few months since the element stopped heating the hot plate at one point. Second, the plastic rim around the coffee pot now leaks when I try to pour from the pot. It used to take a steady hand to prevent spills before (very easy to do with this model). However, now it leaks not matter what since the sealant holding the plastic to the metal pot no longer holds up and leaks all the time. This after just under a year of use (I use the machine about 3 times a week at work). Customer Rating: Summary: under performer Comment: The stainless steel carafe is all but completely useless. Must pour over the sink because you're likely to spill more that pour. And there's no apparent advantage to the stainless, so you're probably better off with a glass carafe which will come cleaner with a simple rinse. Needless to say, i'm disappointed. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice size. Bad spout. Comment: The size is perfect for a small counter and it makes a good cup of coffee. But the carafe's spout is poorly designed, leading to spills. It is about a quarter of an inch long and protrudes at a 90 degree angle instead of a 105 angle (this is a guess as to what a more effective angle would be). It's also flat. A spout that dips in the middle even a little would help direct the flow of water or coffee. Customer Rating: Summary: Not up to standard Comment: I just returned this coffee maker, because the spring on the bottom of the drip unit did not operate properly. The coffee would sit in the grounds basket and not filter down into the carafe. I had 2 previous models that failed in the same manner so I believe there is a design flaw and I am disappointed that Cuisinart does not make a better product. More Reviews
