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

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!

The best small coffee maker I've ever gotten and I've gone through quite a few. This baby makes the most wonderful tasting coffee. It's an absolute beauty and bargain. Easy to use, easy to clean and there is no glass pot to have to replace. Quick tip: if you're a bit of a clean freak like me, slide a folded up paper towel under the dripper when you pull out the coffee pot to catch the extra drops. No stain hassles later.

I had the 4 cup model before this and loved it. This one is great as well. The small size and aluminum carafe make it pretty unique among coffee makers. The removable water tank is helpful and makes filling very easy. My only gripe (and reason for 4 stars) is the water filter. It's basically useless as it doesn't actually filter the water. It just sits in the water tank, meaning water flows through the brewing process without going through the filter. Do I really care about filtering my water(?), not that much but the fact that it's included and advertised as a feature is extremely disingenuous and makes me feel like Cuisinart added it as an afterthought in order to appeal to a certain customer and to charge more. I like the coffee maker but I'm extremely displeased at the insulting coffee filter implementation.

Makes a great cup of HOT coffee. In particular, this model uses a cone-shaped filter, which is considered the best way to make pour-over/drip coffee. The steel carafe is also worth the extra money, as is the removable water container. It includes a water filter, but I don't see that as necessary if you are using distilled or reverse osmosis water. And it comes with a reusable filter plus a few paper filters to get you started. The only thing it doesn't have is a timer/clock to pre-set your morning brew. But, you can set it up the night before and just turn it on when you wake up. It is also very quiet.

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.

I ordered this to replace a similar small-batch coffee maker. That brewer featured a glass carafe with the "Guaranteed Spill" spout design. Didn't matter if I poured like a chemist into a test-tube, or full Viking mode - coffee dribbled onto the countertop EV E RY TI ME! Plus, it had a rocker on-off switch which I dreaded - knowing one day, I'd leave the house with the hot plate still cooking... all day or weekend. This guy? I like it. 5-cup Stainless carafe with a 30-min off timer, removable water tank allows filling at a filtered source. Haven't spilled a single drop and doesn't hog counter space. This was a good purchase.

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

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.

Hasta ahorita. Buen producto. Se ve de buena calidad es de buen tamaño.

Tiene capacidad de 700 mililitros y el anuncio dice que son 1000. Está de buena calidad, se siente sólida y las piezas embonan bien.
