An electronic auto drip coffee maker with a brushed stainless steel housing, from Cuisinart (Moulinex)
Carl Errico (quality: 2.8) 05.18.2004 Rating: 3.6
Bottom Line: Not worth it, and it should have been designed by an engineer instead of a stylist.
Kathy Bryant (quality: 7.0) 03.13.2006 Rating: 3.6
Bottom Line: Bitter, lukewarm coffee from a pretty machine with a tendency to malfunction, leaving you to clean up a mess in the morning.
Carol Sullivan (quality: 1.0) 12.02.2008 Rating: 3.6
Bottom Line: Attention to details would have made this a better pot
Mike James (quality: 4.8) 07.25.2006 Rating: 3.8
Bottom Line: I should have done more research prior to purchasing this product.
Lance Goffinet (quality: 6.0) 02.01.2009 Rating: 4.8
Bottom Line: Very dissapointing. Brew temperature is way too low to brew a decent cup of coffee.
David Maw (quality: 5.7) 12.23.2007 Rating: 5.4
Bottom Line: Looks nice, brews mediocre coffee
Chad Beauford (quality: 6.5) 06.13.2007 Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: The Brew Central brews stale coffee beans very well. If the beans are freshly roasted, the foam is too much and spills grounds out into other parts of the machine.
Steven Tock (quality: 6.0) 07.12.2004 Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: This brewer is not worth the $100.00 price tag, especially when you have to use more coffee!
Dan Taylor (quality: 8.0) 02.27.2007 Rating: 5.8
Bottom Line: The Cuisinart Brew Central is a nice, attractive, well built machine...that produces cups of luke warm mediocrity.
ALICE THODE (quality: 7.5) 07.03.2009 Rating: 5.8
Bottom Line: If you want a weak cup of medium hot coffee and a coffee maker that's hard to fill and irritating to use then this is your pot.
Chris Pratt (quality: 8.0) 03.14.2007 Rating: 6.6
Bottom Line: Keep looking, looks are not everything.
J. M. Recendez 11.16.2009 Rating: 6.6
Bottom Line: Over rated: carafe drips end of pour, difficult to clean well and no external water column.
Cheryl Kochmann (quality: 5.7) 05.26.2007 Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: looks nice but makes week coffee.
David Morris (quality: 8.8) 09.14.2007 Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: Brew Central is one of the prettier machines, Newco is maybe the ugliest, looks don't mean much...
John Pedersoli (quality: 5.0) 12.17.2003 Rating: 7.4
Bottom Line: Large machine with a large price. Makes good coffee but not great. Can it outperform a mid-priced maker? I'm not sure!
