Cuisinart 5-Cup Coffee Maker with Stainless Steel Carafe, Coffee Machine with Removable Water Reservoir, Charcoal Water Filter, 30-Minute Keep Warm, and Brew Pause, DCC-5570NAS, Stainless Steel

This brews great coffee. Here's why. The coffee snobs say you have to brew around 180 degrees. This does it at around 170. More than good enough. The shower head is large. That means it's spreading the water out over the grounds more evenly instead of drilling a hole down the middle. That makes for rich, smooth coffee. I like to use 2 tablespoons per "cup" (actually 6oz) and I make 2 "cups" (12oz). There's enough room in the basket to put almost 10 tablespoons for the 5 cups. Most small coffee makers can't do that. It's a little slower and that's good. Again, helps to make great coffee. What I'm not crazy about. The warmer plate actually boils the coffee in the carafe. It should keep the coffee hot but not boil it. As others have pointed out, the carafe has a plastic rim that traps a little coffee inside. Not a big deal. Overall this is a great coffee maker for the money and I highly recommend it. I like it!

I just had my first cup of coffee using this coffeemaker. Delicious! I used 2 cups water to 2 scoops coffee grounds and it filled my 10oz solo (to go) foam coffee cup to a good level, enough to add my hazelnut coffeemate creamer. This makes one cup of coffee. (For two cups of coffee, I would need 4 cups water, 4 scoops coffee.) Love how this coffeemaker provides some coffee filters and a scooper. It also has a small filter that you can use if you are using tap water. I never use tap water, it's loaded with chemicals. I use a Poland Springs 16oz bottle of water. (I stock up on 24 packs of Poland Springs when I food shop.) It's small and adorable and fits nicely in my small kitchen that doesn't have alot of counter space. While reading reviews, people said it leaks...it doesn't leak if you carefully line up the coffee pot under the water spout, just look under the spout, make sure its lined up and that the water flows out into the 3 holes. I usually just have one cup of coffee, but I like that it stays warm for 30 minutes. You do have to make sure you turn it off afterwards, make sure the blue light goes out. It tastes so good that I may want to make another cup. Lol. Love it. Glad I was able to get this Cuisinart coffeemaker on the Black Friday deal...regularly $65 but got it for $47! Yay! :) I will read the instructions to see how to wash it and how easy it is to hand wash, if I encounter any problems, I will update my review. I usually do a deescalation every 2 wks or once a month using vinegar and the instructions tell you have much water and vinegar to use. Treat it well and it will treat you well.

I used the Black & Decker Brew and Go for years, the first one lasted 8 years, the second 5, the third 3, and so on until it was discontinued. It made a great cup of coffee. I tried the Hamilton Beach Single, but I couldn’t get the coffee strong enough, and then the Capresso Single Serve, which is a really well-made machine, but I don’t like a basket filter, it tastes a little bitter to me, I much prefer a cone shape, but I haven’t been able to find a single serve that had a cone filter like the B&D had. So, I decided to try a small coffee pot, researched a few, and started with the Krups, which I liked very much for its small footprint, cone filter, ease of operation, and it made a very smooth cup of coffee. However, it was not hot enough. So, I tried this one and was pleased to find the coffee is much hotter and this also has auto shut off (Krups does not). I did a temperature test while the coffee was in the pot and the Krups read 166 degrees, the Capresso Single Serve was 179, and this was right around 180. The water tank is a bit fidgety, but I just pour water into it versus removing it every time and I like that I can clean it so much easier than other machines. I didn’t bother with the filter since I use filtered water, but I read it can help with how often you need to decalcify, so I may give it a shot, and I also purchased a Delibru gold tone permanent filter, because I would rather my coffee was not filtered through plastic. I didn’t notice any plastic taste, but I did run 3 pots of water through it before I made the first pot. I found the coffee very smooth and was able to make it as strong as I like. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase.

My original coffeemaker finally stopped working after 15years. This 5 cup one is perfect. It makes a nice hot cup of coffee, doesn't take up a lot of space on my small counter. My only issues it's not made very well, which is what I am seeing in most things these days.

I've had my coffee maker for about a month now, and like it. I have not experienced the leaking others spoke of with the carafe, and particularly appreciate the removable water reservoir. I originally had the prior 4-cup version of this coffee maker for may years, and liked it as well. The problem with it was the pot burner would corrode easily, and the auto-shutoff was much too short. Both of which I am hoping will be resolved with this new version. This 5-cup model the burner stays on to keep the coffee hot for 30 minutes, and I like that Cuisinart kept the metal pot, like the old unit. The two are not interchangeable, by the way. Calling it a 5-cup is a bit of a stretch, as with the 4-cup model the amount of liquid is well shy of a measured cups. I'm only supposed to have two cups a day anyway, so it suites me.

My 4-cup Cuisinart Coffeemaker has been my best friend for many years. It happily made me 3 or 4 cups of coffee each morning, day after day. But the coffee started not being hot -- just warm and I knew it was time to replace it. Imagine my surprise when I saw it was discontinued and replaced with this new 5-cup model. I really agonized over buying this. It was so different and more "complicated" with its removable water container. However, there's really no alternative if you want to use a coffeemaker for a small number of cups and don't like glass carafes (glass breaks! i hate breaking glass in the house!) The good news is that this is a great coffeemaker and makes lovely, hot coffee. I have filtered water so I don't need the filter that they included, but everything else is good. It is nice to have a new coffee scoop! IT IS ALSO REALLY NICE IT COMES WITH A PRINTED MANUAL. THANK YOU! Like others have mentioned (and I read all the reviews before purchasing this), I fumble with the lid to the water container. I also fumble with the top of the darned coffee maker. I'm sure I'll eventually get better at this. It has the one design flaw the 4-cup had -- water gets trapped underneath the plastic rim of the pot. I really which they could fix this. It does have another design flaw my 4-cup did not have: it seems to drip a few drips of water on the hot plate after you remove everything for cleaning. I'm not sure what it is that is causing a few drops to drip but it is easy enough to wipe up. Again, it would be nice if they could fix this. It is compact and fits under my cabinets. So yes, I recommend this! And I am grateful Cuisinart continues to make a model like this. THANK YOU!

I use this machine a few times a week. Overall, it is a very simple coffee machine to use. The auto shutoff is great, and it is easy to clean. The quality of the coffee it produces is great too, no complaints there. However, the water container is not the best design. It's hard to put the tank on without turning the machine to the side, which is a little inconvenient. Also, the water filter holder seems to be useless as I installed it as I should and it keeps floating up and off where it should sit every time I fill it with water. I bought this to replace a Capresso 5 cup maker, and I miss the Capresso as it had a standard fill tank, and also was programmable for around the same price (if not less). The Capresso had an issue where the basket's spring started rusting, and I haven't had that issue with this unit yet, so there is something to be said to Cuisinart's quality. However, I feel like this could have been better designed. I would not buy this again.

Love this!! It makes a perfect 1 cup of coffee for my dad and it is not glass so if it is accidentally dropped, it will not break.

I've mostly ever used Keurig coffee makers, but I find they are not worth what I pay for them. I switched to a simple Mr. Coffee unit and it tasted horrible, no matter how often I rinsed it, ran vinegar through it, multiple cups of coffee.. there was always just a plastic-y strange taste. Found this little Cuisinart guy and I love it. It's just simple, easy to clean, easy to prepare. A bit pricey, but I expect great things from this brand. My first cup this morning was delicious and I hope it lasts. The pot isn't thermal but I love the steel because it will get banged around in the sink while doing dishes, I'm sure. I've never had issues with this brand so far! (I do want to add that the water filter insert seems completely pointless as there is a gap between the filter and where the water goes into the machine, so unfiltered water would go in?)

Es perfecta para una o dos personas, es pequeña por lo que en cualquier espacio cabe, la jarra por el material mantiene a buena temperatura el café

Buenos materiales, buen servicio de entrega, lo hemos usado por mucho tiempo y no hay queja alguna

Third day with this machine and it's great. I like being able to take the water reservoir off and rinse it -- as opposed to machines where it cannot be removed and thus may be growing all kinds of things unless you're diligent enough to do the vinegar rinse periodically. Perfect for one person -- it brews about 2 medium sized mugs. And the coffee comes out HOT. It replaces a 10-cup machine that I never used to the max and that has who knows what swimming in the reservoir. Nothin negative to say, just a great compact machine for 1 or 2 people.

La capacidad de 5 tazas alcanza muy bien para dos personas. El vaso, al no ser de vidrio, proporciona mayor durabilidad al paso del tiempo. Es silenciosa y muy fácil de limpiar. El filtro de café permanente está excelente!! Recomiendo mucho esta cafetera, volvería a comprar.
