Excellent coffee maker
I would prefer the water receptacle hold a lot of water and then just brew what I select. With this model you pour the amount of water you want to brew every morning. Not a big deal, just wasn't expecting it.

The best coffee I’ve ever made!
When I heard that dreaded shatter in our kitchen, I knew my husband shattered the carafe for our CHW-12. It was a housewarming gift from my parents when I moved into my first place 9 years ago. Tempted to replace the carafe itself, my husband persuaded me to buy this one. And HOLY MAGIC BEAN JUICE!!!!! The BEST tasting coffee I’ve ever made at home! This take up less sp...

Will definitely buy again!
Great coffee maker-the water level is easily seen because it is on the side-very convenient! The hot water feature is a nice bonus for brewing tea, instant oatmeal, or a cup of instant decaf! Makes great tasting coffee in a timely manner-I couldn’t be happier with this coffee maker! Possibly the best one I’ve ever owned! Will definitely buy again!

Wish they hadn't changed it
Really wish they hadn't changed the style of this type of maker. Had the model before but after years the hot water dispenser became noisy and wouldn't consistently work, that was our second one. They do last a long time though. New model - water dispenser is noisy and coffee maker is shaped different which takes up room on my counter depth. Coffee and water are both...

Thank you for your continued loyalty and for sharing your honest feedback — we’re glad to hear the coffee and hot water performance are meeting expectations. We understand how design changes and dispenser noise can impact your overall experience, and we’d like to learn more about what you’re noticing, as certain sounds can be related to normal heating or priming functions. Ensuring the unit is placed on a level surface and that the water reservoir is properly seated may help reduce operational noise. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and so we can further assist and review your concerns.

Narrower & still makes Fabulous Coffee!
The design is more attractive than the past coffee makers. It’s great having the hot water option for tea, chocolate, oatmeal, soup, etc. it’s simple to set up & run. There are filters & a reusable one so you don’t need to purchase coffee filters unless you are lazy & just want to dump the whole filter out. These coffee makers just keep getting better!!

Coffee/ hot water pot
It’s working beautifully. The coffee tastes great and the water heats quickly. It was very easy to set up and it looks great on my coffee station.

The Best Coffee of any brewing device
I have a collection of various coffeemakers including pour-over, moka-pot, automatic drip, percolator and others. This Cuisinart model makes the absolute best coffee of all of them. I have another drip maker that cost twice as much and is considered top of the line. But it pales in comparision to this Cuisinart. I love mornings as I prepare to savor the best coffee I've...

Coffee/Hot water
Coffee dispenser works fine.
Unfortunately, there is a taste of Coffee with the hot
water reservoir, so it's kind of useless.

Happy with this.
I’ve been using this for a few months. I really like it. The coffee is hot, it’s easy to use. The water heater is very convenient.

Love the pot
I love this coffee pot. The only negative is the small area where you pour the water for the coffee section. It is in the back and relatively small. This is my 2nd one of these and really like that I have my coffee and husband has hot water for his tea.
