Cuisinart® DCC-1170BKNAS 10-Cup Thermal Classic™ Coffeemaker

We've had Cuisinart coffee makers for over 30 years and liked them very nuch. This is the worst! Each time we used it, the coffee grounds leaked from the filter onto the top of the carafe cover and leaked coffee onto the counter. We tried using less coffee grounds in the filter with the same result. As many other reviews mentioned, the coffee doesn't stay warm. We did preheat the carafe with hot water, but noticed that the coffee is only warm, not hot, as soon as it's done brewing. Don't buy this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wonderful, quality product! I know that it will last for many years. I especially like the programmable feature and use it almost daily.

I like the fact that you made the improvements to the programming. I’m still not sure if there is something wrong with the way it finishes the coffee. Because it keeps on cooking the water that is gone. It makes popping sounds.

Cuisinart is a reliable and trusted name in kitchen appliances. After 10 years of multi-day use, our 10 cup thermal pot coffee maker was finally replaced with the similar model. It prepared well over 5,000 pots of coffee. We are not disappointed. The thermal pot retains heat for hours without burning the coffee with the use of a hot plate. The replacement continues in its satisfactory service.

I absolutely love the style, look and sleekness of this coffee maker

This is our 3rd time with this model and we love it! Perfect coffee every time and seamless operation.

This is our third product and they have all been the same with this most recent one upgrade in the time setting and operation of the device. Excellent equipment.

This is a nice little coffeemaker, simple to use and to clean. The display is bright enough that it makes a nice night light for the kitchen.

I was so excited to receive it, because it had all the features I was looking for, but I was very disappointed when I made my first pot. There were grounds in the coffee and on top of the carafe after brewing. When I poured some into a cup, there was a ring of grounds around the edge and in the bottom of the pot was a layer of coffee silt. I tried paper filters, the permanent gold filter, using less grounds and nothing worked. It was noisy while brewing and the beeping when done was loud and annoying. Very disappointed and returned after 6 attempts.

The coffee pot works pretty well and I do really like the metal decanter. That said, the decanter seems to leak when I pour the coffee at least for the first pour. Second, I am to a huge fan of the fact that there is no heater for the decanter. I understand the coffee stays hotter for longer in this style of a decanter, but after 4 - 6 hours, it starts to cool down and the only way to heat it back up at that point is the microwave. I like when the decanter sits on a burner that I can control and turn on and off to keep the coffee warm or hot throughout the day.
