Q: Does it have temperature settings
submitted by Ruben - 2 months ago
A: Hi Ruben, Yes, this model includes a temperature setting for the coffee, and the detailed instructions on adjusting it can be found in the user manual.
submitted byProduct Expert - 2 months agoBrand expertA: It only has settings for the hot plate low , medium and high which is not useful with the thermal version. That being said it does seem to get close to ideal temperature ~180 degrees

Q: Does the plate keep coffee on for 2 hours or does it auto shuts off once is done brewing? I am hoping carafe will truly keep it warm for some time and not feel burned like other models they have.
submitted by MelySA - 7 months ago
A: The Cuisinart DCC-3400NAS coffee maker utilizes a double-wall stainless steel thermal carafe to maintain your coffee's temperature. Unlike models with glass carafes that rely on a warming plate, this design does not use a warming plate to keep the coffee hot. This approach helps prevent the coffee from developing a burnt taste over time. The thermal carafe is designed to keep coffee hot for several hours. Users have reported that their coffee remains hot enough to enjoy without reheating for at least 4 hours, and still warm after 6 to 7 hours. This extended heat retention is due to the carafe's insulation, not a continuous heating element.
submitted byProduct Expert - 7 months agoBrand expert
Q: If a disposable coffee filter is used, what type does this take?
submitted by Gloria - 8 months ago
A: The Cuisinart 12 Cup Programmable Thermal Coffeemaker uses a standard basket-style paper filter. You can use either a disposable paper filter or the included reusable gold-tone filter. Some users suggest using an 8-cup paper filter, trimming the edge to fit, for convenience and better filtering, according to an Amazon customer.

Purchased the first one took it home, opened the box. It was used finally found it at another store. The next day purchased it came home, opened it didn’t brew the next day not working at all. I think this has a issue needs to be taken off the floor the person that returned the first one I purchased probably returned it because it wasn’t working and they put it back on the floor

Amazed...
I am amazed and tickled with the coffee maker. I had a previous model that lasted close to 2 decades. Love how much flavor is brought out from the coffee grinds and how hot the coffee is when brewed.

Fantastic coffeemaker
This coffeemaker brings great quality coffee and programmability to a reasonably-priced home machine. I'm not a fan of under-pot heaters, so the insulated carafe is a great alternative - keeps coffee hot for several hours and there's no need to stress over turning the thing off. Cleaning is easy, and the mesh filter is a great alternative to messy paper filters. The activated charcoal prefilter was a nice touch - not sure how much it helps, but it can't hurt. Overall a solid product - glad I purchased it, and I would 100% buy another one if this one failed (though the warranty makes that an unlikely prospect). I have trusted Cuisinart products for years and I have yet to be disappointed.

This is a dud
Did not work right out the box! I was looking for a coffee maker with a stainless steel carafe, and settled on this Cuisinart 12-cup because of the three year warranty. Well who knew I would need to use the three year warranty on Day 1? Immediately, the coffeemaker maker gave an ErH error code. And then it stopped brewing altogether. Cuisinart did offer to send a replacement coffeemaker once I showed a picture of my faulty one with its cord cut. In the meantime, I have. I coffeemaker for the next 10-12 business days. Cuisinart Customer Service is good. This coffeemaker is not.

Steams like a train engine. This creates so much steam when its brewing it can't be put under a cupboard or it will ruin them. Im returning it.

Stick with Mr. Coffee
While this coffee maker keeps coffee hot for hours, every attempt to make more than 8 cups causes the coffee grinds to overflow from the filter well which creates a mess inside the coffee maker. More than 8 cups is too much water for this coffee maker to handle despite it being labeled "12 cup." It has become a nuisance to have to clean each time because of the grinds stuck in the crevices. The design of the coffee pot itself makes pouring the coffee more difficult than it needs to be, as well. There are better coffee makers out there (I suggest Mr. Coffee) that are less expensive. Utterly disappointed in this product.
1 reply from Product Expert team - 13 days ago
Thank you for sharing this experience, and we’re sorry to hear about the overflow and pouring concerns. Ensuring the filter basket is fully seated, using only one filter at a time (either the reusable or a paper filter) can help prevent grounds from backing up during larger brews. Please contact Customer Service at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8900435122 so we can assist further.

Disapponted
Not what I expected, especially for the price. The pot is heavy, pours slowly, and must be tilted quite a bit to get the coffee to come out. The burner turns off right after the coffee is brewed so, if you like to take your time drinking a pot, expect it to be tepid. The plastic tab that hold the filter basket in place is quite frail and will surely break off long before the units life is over.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our Cuisinart 12-Cup Thermal Carafe Coffeemaker is designed with a thermal carafe instead of a heating plate, which helps maintain your coffee’s temperature without overcooking it. To keep your coffee warmer for longer, we recommend preheating the carafe with hot water before brewing and pouring carefully to minimize heat loss. We appreciate your insights, as they help us continue to improve our products.

My coffee maker
This coffee maker works well and I enjoy the thermal caraf....the only reason I didn't give it a 5 star review is during set up I dropped the caraf and the handle broke off and I had to replace the caraf

AWSOME brew into thermal carafe coffee maker.
Excellent 6, 8, 10 or 12 cup brew into the thermal carafe from the gold tone basket or single serve 6, 8, 10 or 12 oz into travel mugs from a reusable or regular kcup. Auto brew can be programmed to brew any of the brew choices on any schedule. No hot plate and thermal carafe keeps coffee fresh and hot for 2-3 hours.

Not as good as other cuisines coffee makers
I’ve had more than a few Cuisinart coffee makers in the past. This is my first time with the thermos style Cuisinart coffee maker. I had expectations that it would keep coffee hot for very long.. Unfortunately, still end up microwaving the coffee after it has been made. Within 1-2 hrs coffee is cooling off. Wish I’d gone with glass carafe. I know that I will get at least two hours of hot coffee with the glass carafe.

PerfecTemp is our new favorite
Of the dozen or so coffee makers (all big name brands) we’ve had over the past 30+ years, the PerfecTemp is our new favorite. It’s convenient, efficient and makes EXCELLENT coffee. The thermal pot keeps it at the perfect temp for hours without negatively affecting the flavor and even though it brews quickly, the pause-pour feature is nice for those early mornings when you want your first cup fast.

Not for hot coffee lovers
Unfortunately, it does not keep the coffee hot after the first cup. The hotplate turns off after brewing and it cannot be turned back on. the thermal carafe keeps it lukewarm at best.
1 reply from Product Expert team - 1 month ago
Hi, thank you for your feedback—we’re sorry to hear your coffee didn’t stay hot as expected. Cuisinart models with thermal carafes rely on insulation rather than a hotplate, so preheating the carafe and keeping the lid closed can help maintain temperature longer. If you have any other questions please contact Cuisinart support at 1-800-726-0190 for guidance on adjusting settings or troubleshooting.

Replacement for older coffee maker
It was an easy decision to replace our existing Cuisinart coffee maker with another. After 11 years of daily use, the older model started leaking from underneath. It still made coffee just fine.
