Our previous filter machine decided to die on us and we decided to look for a replacement. It was also ridiculously expensive and I was reluctant to spend the same amount of money on something that had only lasted 3 years. When I found the ‘pebble’ version of this machine at half price and decided to order.
First impression was that it’s taller than our previous machine. This is down to the jug capacity, which is 12 cups compared to the previous 10. The lid to the filter/water reservoir seems relatively flimsy as it’s quite thin plastic but opens far enough for it not to be forced when loading the machine. We only fill to the 10 cup level which gives us 4 mugs of coffee. The clock is easy to set and it’s a one button press to brew. The 40 minute keep warm timer is sufficient to let us drink a fresh mug of coffee and go back for a second hit before going to work. All in all, we’re happy with our purchase and would recommend it to anyone after a reasonably priced machine that does just what it says on the box!

It takes ages to brew coffee for some reason. We tried to set it up for the morning automatically so we could drink our coffee in the morning without waiting for 45 minutes but this time, it’s very cold. So we are not sure what to do with this machine.

I love the option of using beans to grind or ready ground coffee. It automatically goes to grind, so if using ground coffee you need to remember to turn the grind button off. I use filter papers in the basket as well. I’ve not made a full jug of coffee yet.

Pros – nice colour and finish. Looks slick. – slim, takes up very little space. – the reusable mesh filter from my old coffee machine fits perfectly. I wasn’t sure it would before I purchased so hopefully this review helps someone. – beeps to tell you it’s ready, keeps the coffee hot for 40 mins (with a countdown timer on the screen) and beeps to tell you to finish it off before it gets cold. – brews very quickly. Some people might view this as a con. I don’t.
Cons – if it has a cupboard above, you can’t lift the lid to fill it (see photo). I pull it forward (it’s very light) to fill it. Minor gripe. – for the price I think it should come with a mesh filter (it’s more than double my old Morphy Richards one). I’ve never been a fan of paper filters.
Summary – Love it. Makes perfect coffee, hot and silky smooth. Very, very pleased with my purchase.

It’s a bit pricier than I would normally look at spending on a coffee maker, but I trust the Cuisinart brand (I have several other Cuisinart kitchen appliances). We had our cheapy coffee maker for at least 10 years before it conked out, so I got this because I trust the brand, and it was on Amazon 5-pay. Setting it up was easy enough, but you do need paper filters – these are cheap, can be composted, gardens love coffee grounds, slugs don’t. There’s a basket that at least one of the reviewers thought was a filter, but it’s not a filter. Not using a filter (either reusable plastic or paper) means the grounds will get into the carafe and/or get stuck in the nozzle. I just used the plastic filter from the old coffee maker, and put the paper filter inside that. If you’re used to instant or cafetiére (French press) coffee, this isn’t going to be as hot as that because it’s at the right temperature for coffee (85°C, not boiling). One scoop per cup means one scoop of coffee for each measure on the water tank. Please don’t make the mistake of using a mug thinking that’s a cup – you’ll get watery and sour coffee. Coffee cups are actually quite small, so a standard mug is at least two cups in coffee measuring terms. When the machine beeps to say it’s finished, that just means it’s finished dispensing water. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ready for you to pull out the carafe. Water will still be filtering through the grounds for a little while, so you might want to wait a minute or two before pulling out the carafe. Always run at least one cycle through with just water before you make coffee, just to get rid of production dust or any plasticky taste. I don’t like to put the removable parts in the dishwasher too often, because it seems to strip the machine of the oils that make coffee taste good and less acidic, and you can end up with coffee tasting of dishwasher rinse aid.

I already own a Cuisinart coffee grinder that’s been working really well for over 13 years (looks good too) so, to some extent I knew that I was getting a good looking, functional coffee brewing machine. The unit lives up to my expectations, managing to cope with my 1 to 1.5 pot per day coffee habit. The machine is easy to use and clean (it’s only the coffee filter holder and pot that actually require a quick clean between brews) and, with a supply of filters, takes no time at all. The machine is equipped with a “Clean” setting for limescale removal (white vinegar and water mix) which, as I live in a very hard water area, is a useful addition – soft water drinkers will get away with many fewer cleans but it’s a nice option to have built in. Very little else to say, the unit looks good, works well, is clean with no spillage and makes a great pot of coffee, just vary the amount of coffee that you use (their guide is one scoop per cup where 1 cup is about 1/4 pint which may be a touch strong for some people) to suit your taste, no grounds (with a good filter paper) and no mess afterwards. For me it was an excellent buy at a decent price as it replaced a refurbed machine bought for almost the same price (different maker), which had just started leaking which is why I ordered the Cuisinart machine so, the timing was immaculate and it complements my Cuisinart coffee grinding machine perfectly, all in all I’m more than satisfied.
