 I can live without the coffeemaker shutting off after 30 minutes July 28, 2008

I can live without the coffeemaker shutting off after 30 minutes
I purchased this 4-cup coffeemaker after I broke my second (spare) glass carafe of my 4-cup Mr. Coffee maker (got it as a gift over 14 years ago). It is amazing that the cost to replace that carafe is nearly the cost of a new coffeemaker! I won't need to worry about cracking or breaking this stainless steel carafe.
One minor complaint I have with the carafe is that the plastic rim that makes up the pouring lip/lid holder/handle assembly prevents pouring every last drop of coffee. I also find it slightly annoying that Cuisinart found it necessary to turn off the heating plate after 30 minutes although I'm sure it is a safety feature with a carafe I cannot see through. I've never damaged a glass carafe from "boiling" it dry. I do not find the carafe lid annoyingly difficult to remove or place in position. This lid is different than my glass carafe version and even then, with the Mr. Coffee I need to align the lid opening to the spout like I do with this version.
I don't know if it is just the black color of the parts but the brew basket and coffee maker drip arm have remained clean after brewing over the eight months I've owned and used it. I think that the design of the Cuisinart helps keep the coffee from splashing back onto the drip arm and lid which keeps this area very clean. My old Mr. Coffee was difficult to keep clean (the water sprinkling area above the coffee basket).
PROS: The coffee maker's drip arm (so far) remains clean after use. The carafe should last long after the coffee maker stops working.
CONS: I cannot pour every last drop of coffee easily from the stainless steel carafe. The warming pad shuts off after 30 minutes.
Cuisinart 4 cup coffeemaker June 14, 2008

I really love this coffeemaker.
Since I am the only coffee drinker
in our household, this is perfect.
It makes just the right amount for one large
mug or two cups and the coffee is good and hot.
 Don't Buy- Bad Carafe! March 29, 2008

My mom bought 3 of these for Christmas: one for me, my sister, and my grandma. The carafe on ALL THREE of them spills when you pour from it. It somehow leaks sneakily down the front as you pour. We've all had the problem, so it's unlikely a user error. I've checked to make sure the top is snapped on correctly, I've tried pouring at different speeds; nothing helps. My mom also thought they were insulated when she bought it, but it's not. I'm unhappy with the product and would not recommend it.
BEWARE! Terrible return policy February 12, 2008

The coffee maker broke after 5 months of minimal use. Cusianrt has the worst return policy I have ever dealt with. Shipping both ways is the cunsumers resonsibilty and a check for $10 is required for processing. For a product that cost me $29 that is absurd. I'll never buy another product from them.
 NO! January 25, 2008

The Carafe is hard to get into place, and when coffee is done and you try to pull carafe out you end up yanking it and coffee, needless to say, goes everywhere. I returned mine-oh-and the carafe is not insulated.
