5.0 out of 5 stars Good coffee maker that has served me well

But I need to say that it is NOT due to an issue the coffee maker nor was it at fault in any way.I received the first one as a gift when my old (i.e., 20+ year old) coffee maker finally died. I used it twice a day, every day, since then. Unfortunately, I had an electrical issue with the GFCI outlets in my kitchen and my Cuisinart took a hit. It would come on, but it would not brew. After about a minute, an error code would come up on the screen. So I had to purchase another coffee maker. I really liked this model, so I decided to buy another one just like it; same color, same design, etc. I even kept the removable parts from the old one...just in case.In the 4 years I had the original one, it never let me down in the morning and was always good to go. And I'm hoping this one will give me even more years of coffee enjoyment.I like that it can do different size cups as some of my coffee mugs are different sizes. It's fairly easy to clean, imo, and I run a cleaning pod through it every 2-3 weeks. I'd definitely recommend this coffee maker to anyone looking as it's a good all-around product.

After being a Keurig loyalist for years, I finally gave up after the 4th one died within a year of use each. I took a chance based on the reviews and bought this Cuisinart. While I will say that I've only had it for about a month, I really like this. It's very easy to use and I bought this model because it makes up to a 12 oz cup. I also think the coffee tastes better using the same pods I used in the Keurig. It's a little noisy but not enough to bother me. I recommend this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best coffee maker i have ever purchased

L.h. · May 27, 2025

i have always bought the other brand but last one was defective so decided to try this brand as it has always had a good reputation for quality. It did not disappoint. i absolutely love it. it has several size options and even an extra hot option. takes about a minute and a half to make my coffee from start to finish. there are other options of setting a timer for it but for me i don't use that option. yet lol. it has a clock so you can even see the time. Totally worth the money. woohoo

4.0 out of 5 stars Reliable Basic Coffee Maker

**** UPDATE 3/17/2025 ****It has been two years five months since my purchase. I'm still brewing no less than four K Cups per day. No issues to date. I'm still using the 1 to 2 vinegar/water ratio to descale as recommended by Cuisinart. Today I ran a 12 oz hot water cycle (without K Cup) and got the same 13 oz output as when the coffee maker was new. As stated in my original review if a K Cup was used it soak up some water and the output would be about 12 oz,**** END OF UPDATE ****I purchased this unit on October 15, 2022. Today is June 23, 2024. About four or five cups of coffee have been brewed daily since I received the unit. So far I have not had any issues.***** QUALITY *****Some reviewers compared this model SS-10P to an older similar Cuisinart model SS-700 (discontinued) stating the older model is built better. I have been on this planet quite a few years and agree “they don't make em like the used to”. IMHO this applies to most small kitchen appliances whether the brand is Cuisinart, Keurig, ACME or whoever. With that being said my review is based on what is available in today's marketI purchased this Cuisinart SS-10P to replace a Keurig Slim that was on it's second warranty replacement. The Keurig Slim was purchased to replace an older working Keurig to save counter space.One deciding feature for my purchase is the three year warranty and U.S. based support (I think) available by voice call. I called Cuisinart regarding another appliance and I asked the agent if he was U.S. Based. He replied yes.***** FEATURES *****The features are basic. Brewing temperatures, auto shut off, auto power up (based on time set), clock, 4, 8, 10 and 12 ounce cups, hot water only, time to descale notice. There is no brew strength setting.***** BREWING AND NOISE *****As other reviewers have stated the brew time is slower than some other coffee makers. I agree. In my opinion the faster the brew the weaker the coffee, the slower the brew the stronger the coffee. Maybe the brew speed is a compromise.I agree the brewing process is louder than other coffee makers. For my personal preference this does not bother me at all. How loud is too loud is subjective.The select brew size is reasonably accurate. I ran a hot water only 12 oz. The amount of water measured was about 13 oz. See attached photo number 1. If a coffee pod was being brewed some of the water would have been soaked up by the coffee grounds.***** MAINTENANCE *****I don't baby my Cuisinart. I have been waiting on the descale notice to appear before descaling the unit. Today after descaling I decided to descale once per month in the future and not wait for the descale notice to appear. The Cuisinart manual hints at not waiting on the descale notice. This may add little more to the life of the unit.Cuisinart says to use 20 oz vinegar mixed with 40 of water to descale the unit. I heave been doing this. No problems. I use store brand vinegar which is literally dirt cheap compared to some coffee maker manufactures who recommend their branded pricey descale solution.I purchased the Cuisinart filters (two pack) just once. I no longer use their pricey filters or a third party cheaper filter (lower quality?). I use filtered tap water for brewing. Yes, I agree filters may help. It's just my personal choice.My only real complaint is cleaning the area under the “pod holder”. See photo number 3 with the holder removed. Over time some loose grounds will find it's way to this hidden area. I can get just one finger into this area from the top. I used two methods to clean. (1) A wet paper towel wrapped around my finger. (2) Let completely dry and use a small brush to sweep the grounds out of the bottom hole (pod holder removed). I am dinging one star because of this design.***** CONCLUSION *****My personal requirement is a basic reliable coffee maker. I use the auto shut off feature, the brew size and hot water only feature. I don't use the other features. I am not a picky coffee drinker. Overall this Cuisinart unit works for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cuisinart, after replacing three Keurig machines in four years.

I should have ordered the Cuisinart the first time I had to replace the Keurig, but I thought I would not like any other brand for the amount of money I wanted to spend. Wrong, this is my fourth single-serve coffee machine in less than five years, and I am thrilled that I decided to purchase the Cuisinart Premium Single Serve machine. First of all, it has more features to set the size as well as the strength of the coffee. I used my new Cuisinart for the first time on April 1st, and I have been so happy with the coffee that I even treat myself to coffee in the afternoon. It produces a hotter cup of coffee, so I no longer need to brew in a glass cup, heat it in the microwave, and then pour it into my travel mug. That saves me a lot of time. It came with the extra pod for filling with my ground coffee if I choose to do so. The water reservoir is larger than the Premium Keurig machine. I have read the complete instructions for descaling, and I have read the online posts of other Cuisinart owners, and I believe that my Cuisinart will last more than one year. The better cup of coffee will outweigh any future decision I make in purchasing a single-serve machine. Needless to say, I am thrilled!

This coffee maker has turned out to be reliable and easy to use. (Tired of brands that broke down after a year or so. I waited to post this review for a few months after purchasing it because of that, and this unit has had no issues whatsoever.)

5.0 out of 5 stars No other Brand for me

This coffee pot is easy to use, seems reliable so far and I love it. The rinse button works great after making many cups of coffee and the hot water runs clear to make just hot water. It's louder and slower than the keurig BUT, it's making a much better cup of coffee. I hope to update in 6 months and still be happy

LA MEJOR DE SU TIPO

Esta es una de las mejores cafeteras caseras, es fabulosa, práctica, yo tengo una desde hace mas de 4 años y siempre ha funcionado a la perfección, por lo que ahora compré otra para regalar.Hace como un año quise regalar una, pero no había, como que dejaron de fabricarla un tiempo. Por eso en cuanto vi que estaba en el mercado nuevamente, la compré, la regalé y me han comentado que funciona exactamente igual que la mía viejita.Puedes preparar un café o los que quieras, es súper rápida, y como tiene la opción de usar café molido, es muy práctico y económico.Realmente la recomiendo muchísimo.Es la mejor de su tipo.

Excelente!

Everything about this Coffee Maker is wonderful! It is the best coffee pod maker we have ever purchased. Previously we have bought 5 Kurig makers in total since they first came out. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A KURIG. Our last one lasted exactly 2 years and then all of a sudden one morning it would not power on. My wife tried everything she knew to try as I was out of town then she called Kurig customer service and they told her to try the exact same things and still it wouldn’t turn on. They then told her there was nothing more they could offer as it was un-repairable and she would need to purchase a new one. It was a $220.00 machine that lasted 2 years. They then said they could offer a 30% off coupon if we bought another one from them. The coupon never did come. As it turned out, we benefited because I found the Cusinart machine on Bolo and it only cost $130.00 delivered. Moral of the story is STAY AWAY FROM KURIG and buy Cusinart. You will not be disappointed!!!
