Cuisinart 5-Cup Soho Coffeemaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Cuisinart Soho 5 cup coffee maker. It brews in 5 minutes and keeps it hot for 30 minutes and shuts off automatically. It's easy to clean and you can use it with a small paper filter or the provided washable basket. Also has a water filter, replaceable. We shall see how long it lasts (most coffee makers get clogged up with calcium and burn out within a couple years even with recommended cleanings). But overall ease of operation is great !

Replaces a large, Ninja coffeemaker that performed well for 7+ years. However, no longer needed such a large appliance & wanted to conserve counterspace. This smaller appliance makes good coffee & I love that it's white!

Like the smaller footprint. It makes great cups of coffee.

I was glad that I picked this coffeemaker as its the perfect compact size that looks good on my counter without making the limited space too cluttered. I choose the white color which blends in seamlessly with my kitchen. The 5-cup is enough for two large cups of coffee and I have not had any issues with it in over a year besides if the lid isn't closed tightly while pouring, coffee would drip out some coffee from the carafe. It brews quick and easy to enjoy a hot cup of coffee at home, especially with fresh grounds! What I also found appealing is the ease of cleaning the machine, and that the water is placed on top as I am very picky and must see the clean water. I also descale the machine monthly, running 2 cycles with filtered water and a small amount of vinegar, and another cycle or two with just filtered water.

I am the only one in my family who drinks coffee so I was looking for a small coffee maker. Because appliances in our kitchen are white, this was a great find. For me, the water reservoir has three parts, and that was too much for me. But after living with it for a couple of months, the three clear parts are not a problem at all. The water I pour in is not evaporated while it makes my coffee. I get the full amount of water I first put in when my coffee is brewed. This item is not heavy and it’s easy to put away. It’s also easy to clean and it never gets stuck nor is it flimsy. Some viewers said that it was too tall for the counter, but it was just right for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will never regret getting this brand So practical and neat.

leaked constantly

If I could rate this a negative zero I would. This product only lasted four months. I did not keep my reciept so I did not call or went through the hassle of returning or reaching out to the company. Just will never purchase another product.

Small, great for small kitchens, simple and basic functionality. The carafe is a bit odd, spills easily while pouring so I always pour coffee over my sink. If you're looking for basic and functional this works great. No screens or clock. Just one push button to operate.

My concern is the water reservoir. There is no access and I am concern about mold being trap and can’t get into it to clean. I saw mold on the little square filter. I am not comfortable running Clorox through my coffee machine.
