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.
Barry Strum (quality: 5.0) 05.28.2011 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: I don't expect to get ten years out of the Cuisinart (heck, I don't expect to get ten years out of me)..............it is the best of the lot despite its shortcomings.

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.
Carol Sullivan (quality: 1.0) 12.02.2008 Rating: 3.6
Bottom Line: Attention to details would have made this a better pot
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.
Cheryl Kochmann (quality: 5.7) 05.26.2007 Rating: 6.8
Bottom Line: looks nice but makes week coffee.
Chris Miller (quality: 6.0) 10.30.2004 Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Hot, Fast and Full-Bodied - This machine does it all!
Chris Pratt (quality: 8.0) 03.14.2007 Rating: 6.6
Bottom Line: Keep looking, looks are not everything.
Chuck Dickerson (quality: 5.5) 08.07.2004 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: Retro 'look', controls for every component from hotplate to water filtering, makes this machine first class in every way!
Dan Taylor (quality: 8.0) 02.27.2007 Rating: 5.8

David Morris (quality: 8.8) 09.14.2007 Rating: 7.0

John Pedersoli (quality: 5.0) 12.17.2003 Rating: 7.4
