The single serve brewer has three cup sizes to choose from. There’s a setting for 6 ounces , 8 ounces , and 10 ounces . Continuing with the environmentally friendly theme, there’s also a reusable coffee filter. Imagine how good you’ll feel once you start reducing your paper waste! Just dump and rinse out the spent grounds, and you’re ready for the next pot. You should clean your Cuisinart coffee maker regularly, with different parts needing different maintenance.
For the times when you might want to use paper filters, the GoldTone filter is removable and a #4 paper filter starter kit is included. In addition to brewing delicious coffee, all of our pods and filter packs are biodegradable and compostable. Now you can enjoy the taste of our sophisticated coffee without the worry of polluting the planet at the same time. If you grind it finer, then it’ll over-extract, and you’re left with a bitter and dull cup of coffee. But if your grind is too coarse, then it under extracts, and your coffee tastes bland and sour. Luckily the Cuisinart grinder is childproof and there’s no way of hurting yourself.
If you try to turn it on with an open lid, then it won’t work. This ensures that you don’t spill blood while making a cup of joe. This makes it one of the more affordable coffee makers on the market. It’s the pinnacle of coffee making and dates back to 1884. It’s often expensive and can be a hassle to maintain and clean. Dashing in brushed metal and bright red, the Cuisinart® brew central coffeemaker makes a bold statement with its elegant tech-industrial design.
However, upon seeing the HomeBarista I had serious doubts about how well it would work. That’s because the filter cup is just so small – there really isn’t much room for sufficient ground coffee in there. One thing I couldn’t help notice was how loud this coffee machine is while it’s brewing. Seriously, some of the pops and gurgles almost made me jump out of my seat! Plus, once the brewing cycle has finished, the coffee maker beeps like there’s no tomorrow.
K Cup coffee tends to be weak and stale tasting, an inevitable side effect of the pod coffee process. Conversely, if you only need a cup or two at a time, a small coffee maker will be faster and more practical. Have you ever had burnt-tasting coffee that’s been sitting on a hot plate too long? We’ve done all the research for you and nailed down the best ones on the market this year to suit any household. Read and learn more from our Cuisinart coffee maker reviews below.

If you regularly order cold brew at your local coffee shop, you can make the same smooth, richly flavored drink at home with this budget-friendly cold brew maker. The carafe comes with a cork stopper to keep your drink fresh for several days, and the two components nest together for more compact storage when not in use. Welcome extended-stay guests with all of the comfort and convenience of home with this STAY by Cuisinart WCM280BK black 12 cup coffee maker! With an intuitive one-button control and auto shutoff feature, the unit is easy to set and forget until the coffee is ready.
In addition to this reservoir, there’s also a separate 40 ounce removable one to provide water for the single serve brewer. This reservoir also has a charcoal water filter which I was pleasantly surprised to see. Plus, it’s pretty easy to know when to refill, as there’s an indicator light to give you a heads up when it gets low. In fact, this little stainless steel coffee maker has a lot of premium features.
The Cuisinart SS-15 Maker Coffee Center is designed to give you lots of choices with just one machine. For those days when you need a single cup to wake you up before you drive the kids to school, there’s a single-cup brewer that works with K-cups or your own reusable coffee filter. You even have your choice of 3 different cup sizes so you can down Keurig K-Mini a small dose at home or take a travel mug with you. This Cuisinart can also deliver a 12-cup carafe that’s great for when you’re hosting a weekend brunch or book club meeting. With this machine, you get both a reusable coffee filter to save you the bother and expense of buying paper ones and a water filter to improve the taste of tap water.
Even the KitchenAid KEK1522 Pro Line Series Electric Kettle doesn’t have any more to offer than the Cuisinart CPK-17 kettle, which usually costs about half the price. The Tribest Glass Raw Tea Kettle GKD-450-B lacks a button on the handle to open the lid. Its blue light constantly turns on and off until it reaches the desired temperature, something we found annoying. Despite the price bump, this intuitive, easy-to-use kettle probably won’t provide more longevity than you get with the Cuisinart, but this model is sleeker and slightly more ergonomic. This 1.7-liter kettle heats water quickly and accurately to the various temperatures needed to get optimum flavor from teas and coffee.
