submitted byLA Todd - 5 years agoA: This coffee maker uses a #4 paper filter or a permanent filter.
submitted byLA Todd - 5 years agoA: I never use a paper filter. The mesh basket is enough and I have done this for the past 10 years. Way to go Cuisinart for making such an awesome coffee maker!

Q: Can you brew 1 or 2 cups directly into your mug?
submitted by grandma - 1 year ago
A: No.Brew Pause stops flow of coffee from the basket when the carafe is removed (30 seconds maximum) from the heater plate, so a cup can be poured in mid-brew from the carafe.

I'd buy again and again......
We replaced our Bunn coffeemaker (that worked perfectly) with the Cuisinart 12 cup. Had one before but when it finally quit we bought a new Bunn. Over time we got tired of the Bunn insulated carafe with no heat plate. The Cuisinart was always a great coffeemaker and when we decided to go back to a regular type coffeemaker, after looking at many makes and models the Cuisinart was our go to again. No regrets! Love it!

uncomplicated, great coffee
Cuisinart Brew Central has been used daily for the last three weeks. *Pros: -Water measurement line inside fill tank for accurate water: coffee ratios -Has a water filter that can be changed out. We'll see if it is really necessary as I use cold unfiltered water from my well because it tastes better, so not sure I'm concerned about a filter, but those using a community well may appreciate this. -I do like the cone-shaped filter as my grinds don't spill out so easily. It did come with a gold filter. -Having a programmable machine is a must in my household. It was mostly easy to set-up, however this leads me to my *Cons: -The LCD clock is not bright and very difficult to see what the time is when setting the programmable settings--unless it is in broad daylight. A brighter LED screen would be helpful. -My last two coffee makers were cheap: Hamilton Beach and a Black and Decker. The programming was easier: just set the time and hit "program". With the Cuisinart you have to move a dial to "Program" to set the brew time, then move the dial to "Auto On", then flip up the On switch. Too many steps. A green light goes on when this occurs--the same green light that means the maker is brewing. It's a little unsettling as I always wait to make sure that coffee is not brewing NOW, instead of at my programmed time. Otherwise, a quality machine for the money.

Excellent coffee maker
An excellent coffee maker to replace the same model we had for 15 years. It’s great to have a company that keeps the same product for years.

Great coffee everytime
My Cuisinart Coffee Maker is easy to use and always makes a great cup of coffee. The timer is awesome to be able to set the night before. Heating pad keeps the coffee hot after it is brewed.

Great Cuisinart Coffee Maker
Love this Cuisinart coffee maker! This is my third one of these coffee makers over the past 25 years! I love this one so much that I keep buying it for myself and other family members. It lasts such a long time and makes the best coffee!

Reliable Performer with One Limitation
I just ordered a 12-cup Cuisinart coffee machine to replace the one that has served me well for almost 20 years. The new one performs more quietly than the previous one which was noisy brewing and issuing clouds of steam, presumably from old age. The new one is certainly quieter and does the same effective job. My only complaint is the lid for the carafe does not fit tightly without some pressure and persistence. I understand this annoyance is shared by other Cuisinart coffee brewer users.

THIRD ONE I HAVE PURCHASED FOR ME OR FAMILY MEMBERS. Baskets in all three; the mesh cracks but still works fine. I always use filters. Keep up the great quality. Make sure you support the coffee growers.

Excellent Drip Coffee Maker
This is the third Brew Central 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker I have purchased over a number of years. Works well and for an appliance used daily, it is well built and last several years.

Jerry’s Critique
Your new design sadly eliminates the water level gauge on the side of the coffeemaker. It is difficult to accurately determine the water level in the carafe using the level marks scribed on the carafe. The water level markers inside the coffee maker are of little use.

Nice Pot
Just ordered a new one . My other pot was just like this and I really loved it. I just don't like that the heating plate went out after only a years use.

This has been great for us but does anyone know if we can shut the buzzing off once the coffee is ready? It wakes up my kids!

Good coffee for when guests come.
Nice coffee maker! Get #4 conical filters for this. The metal basket is fine but paper filters work better.

Meets high expectations
It brews great coffee. The bells and whistles are all nice, but would not matter if the coffee was not brewed well. It took a minute to figure out the programming, but once understood, it is easy to program. We went from a thermal carafe to this hot plate and were worried about the coffee burning, but it is not a problem. The coffee stays hot. The warmer shuts off automatically, so turning it off is worry-free. One reviewer mentioned how little steam is emitted during brewing. Very true. 10 cups of water yields 10 cups of coffee. We are completely happy with purchase.

Best coffee maker
I’ve been buying coffee makers for over 45 years. They typically burned out on me in two years. Once bought cuisines I never bought anything else. This is my third coffee maker and I’m very satisfied with the performance. The last two both lasted about nine years each. I am a very satisfied and loyal customer now.

Great Coffeemaker
For years I have been using the same popular coffee maker. Every few years, even though I clean it several times a year eventually it gives up the ghost. So I order a new one that again lasts 2-3 years. So after the last one died, I decided to upgrade. Several friends recommended Cuisinart. After a few weeks I’m so pleased. Not only is it fast, it makes great tasting coffee.
