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.

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.

Don't buy this coffee maker! Don't buy Cuisinart! It comes with a water filter and filter holder. The filter fits in the holder very nicely, however, the filter holder doesn't fit in the water reservoir! There's no provision in the bottom of the filter holder to fit over the valve that opens to let the water into the machine. There's absolutely no way the water will get filtered with this setup. You can just throw the filter holder away. A complete waste. When we called Cuisinart, the only way to get any useful help was to pay them $5 to talk to someone about it. NO. It's a new machine and there's a design flaw or they sent the wrong filter holder. We shouldn't have to pay to get support for something like this. This is not good customer service. Another design flaw is how the metal pot connects to the plastic top ring that has the handle and lid. There's a big step between the two so that it's impossible to get all the coffee out of the pot. And impossible to get all the water out of the pot after cleaning it other than stuffing a towel in it to soak up the water. Which means that the only way to get the soapy water out is to keep rinsing and pouring to finally flush it out. This is not acceptable with so many other good choices available.

UPDATE to the UPDATE: After additional email prodding, nothing appeared to happen. About 10 days later I received a notice of an impeding UPS delivery. Another 10 days and a 6"x6" package arrived. Inside was a replacement lid. So thank you Cuisinart. I'll add an additional star. If you tilt the carafe too steeply, coffee runs out of the seam between the carafe and the lid. UPATE: The unit is still less than a year old and the lid to the coffee pot will not stay on at all. I've contacted Cuisinart support twice about this and their response, thus far, is to notify me they received my email, make a truly stupid and unhelpful suggestion and then ignore me. Though it does make good coffee, the unit is becoming less usable by the day. I've reduced my rating from 4 to 3 and now 2 starts. Save your money and look elsewhere. This is an aesthetically appealing machine that makes good coffee at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, there are some design compromises that make the unit frustrating to use. The carafe is the major problem. It is advertised as stainless steel. The walls of the carafe are so thin as to offer little heat retention. The top is designed to allow coffee to spill out if you tilt the carafe too much while pouring, e.g., the top does not seal. As the unit ages, the top becomes more warped. I really expected better from a Cuisinart product.

I thought my filter basket was stuck, but I found the fix. On the underside of the basket there’s a small tab that holds it in place. If you gently squeeze that tab while lifting the basket by the loop handle, it pops right out. After that, it goes in and out smoothly. Hopefully this helps anyone else confused by the tight fit. I was going to give it 4 stars till I found this solution. Great compact coffee maker.

Loved the 4-cup in the past. Love the 5-cup now! Improved design - water tank visible behind pot. Brews great cups of coffee, warmer keeps constant temperature, easy to clean. Small footprint on counter.

Buenos materiales, buen servicio de entrega, lo hemos usado por mucho tiempo y no hay queja alguna

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?)

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.

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

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