Cuisinart 5-Cup Coffeemaker with Stainless Steel Carafe, DCC-5570NAS

I've had this for a month now. I've never had a Cuisinart product I didn't like, but I did not expect to like this one as much as I do, or for it to make such good coffee. I like my coffee between medium and strong. When I first saw the little scooper I was sure I'd be doubling, or at least rounding up the scoops, but nope, the measurement is just fine for me. I actually save coffee with this machine. I use paper filters, personal preference. I read the 3 star or less reviews and don’t agree with most. You do not have to take the water container out to fill it or use 2 hands. It is a bonus that you can, however, if you want. This is a keeper, especially if you want to cut down on how much coffee you drink. It is easily transported for travel, and would make a great gift.

it’s great for your first few cups in the morning. keeps coffee piping hot. i wouldn’t use this for company of ten people as it turns off at thirty minutes and only make five cups. so as for me i like that quick hot cup quick, three cups fills up my 16 ounce yeti and im ready to walk out the door for work, Cuisinart always makes a great cup of coffee. it’s the best little coffee maker i’ve had in years.

After breaking three glass pots on my last coffee maker I gave up and tried this Cuisinart unit with its metal pot. Since I am the only coffee drinker left at home I was able to downsize to the 5-cup unit. It makes a nice hot cup of coffee and keeps it hot in the thermal pot. The unit appears well-made and its reliability should be good. It can be a bit messy though. The top of the pot has a plastic lip which makes for a messy pour no matter how careful you are and leaves a bit of coffee always in the pot. I've taken to pouring it out over my sink. Also, when you open the top lid of the unit and pull out the filter basket there is always a good amount of water than will inevitably wind up needed to be mopped up off the burner plate. I didn't have this problem with my old coffee maker. So, this is a nice coffee maker but costs a lot more than standard 5-cup units and has a few design quirks.

I finally found a fantastic coffee maker. It is tiny but mighty. I like the coffee pot being stainless as it will not break. It is NOT a thermal carafe, though, which is fine as I make a 16 oz cup that I put in a Contigo, which keeps it crazy warm. I appreciate the grounds holder because it has a handle so your fingers do not get dirty. The lid for the grounds also fits perfectly under the cabinet. The ease of a removable water reservoir is fabulous. I also dig that it has a matt finish, which keeps it looking clean and has zero fingerprints. Bravo!!!

I had a similar cuisine art coffee maker before, it lasted 10 years without any issues. This one, now going into two years, just as great as the first one. I also love the design, it takes minimal space.

Not 5 cups. I replaced my 8-year-old Cuisinart 12 cup maker with this smaller footprint version without all the bells & whistles. This coffee maker is well made and seems like it will last. It makes the coffee very hot with 1100 watts of power but it is not 5 cups, it's smaller. According to the instruction manual, they say a cup is 5oz, not 8oz. To me, a cup is 8oz. I was disappointed. Also, you can only use 5 scoops of coffee for 5 cups (5oz) for the carafe (25oz)They include a scoop, a couple of paper filters and the non-paper filter basket too. The water fill container is removable. So far, I like it, but the 5oz bothers me.

This compact drip coffee maker is of very good quality and is durable. It will make 40 ounces of tasty, brewed coffee or hot water for tea or other uses rather fast. The stainless-steel carafe will not break like a glass one could, and it keeps the coffee or water hot for a long time on the warmer plate. We carry it in our car for use in hotels while traveling or in our summer home. It is not cheap, but it is a good value for the quality.

Out of the box the whole thing feels cheap and light. However, it does make very good coffee. I havea large 12 cup heavy duty Cusinart but wanted a smaller one just for me. Two things I noticed is thatthe lid (which is not attached) can be hard to put on correctly (it needs to be pushed down) and I need 2 handsto open the lid that houses the coffee filter. I use a paper filter (my preference) and I do use the charcoal tabsrecommended as I believe it makes a difference in the taste. Its the lightest stainless steel I have come acrossso it would be a good pot to take on trips. I wanted a basic coffee pot with no timer or gadgets and the option tojust press one button for brewing. I am happy with the quality of the brew.
