Cuisinart DTC-975 Programable Auto Brew 12-Cup Coffeemakers Review

I use it to make 2 cups or full pots.I have used many different machines over 15 years of drinking coffee (and therefore making coffee) daily and have absolutely no complaints about this machine.I would like to address the complaints here for people shopping for a coffeemaker.

RE: The reported leakage problem.This is due to OVERFILLING.The water reservoir is larger than the carafe for a reason people: Steam builds up as water is heated, if the reservoir were the exact size of the carafe...YOU finish this sentence.If you can- a) figure out in your head what happens to heated plastic without room built in to displace heat and b) either fill the machine with the actual carafe being used or something you measured out beforehand that is equal to the volume of said carafe- than you're smart enough to own this excellent machine.

RE: The BEEP.Yes it beeps (3 times) and yes it's not a whisper, but it's not the trumpet people are making it out to be.These people must have it set up in their bedrooms two feet from their head.If the machine is in your kitchen and you are nearby it's not loud enough to wake you, it's just loud enough to hear if you're in the other room and can't WAIT to get that first cup of java.It's morning and it tells me "hey, your coffee is ready."It's evening and I'm chatting with friends and forget and then it tells me "hey, your coffee is ready."People who complain about the beep would complain about getting wet in the rain or cold in the winter.

RE: The screw cap.Yes it takes 3 revolutions to get this SCREW cap SCREWED on.And like any nut and bolt system you have to start screwing evenly in order to form a tight bond.This tight bond is what keeps your coffee hot.The carafe pours using a built-in ball-bearing that uses that wonderful thing we like to call gravity to move the ball ever so slightly away from the opening so that your HOT coffee can pour into your waiting favorite coffee cup.The stream is thin yes, again for a reason: large openings equal larger exposure to air, air that is most probably colder than you like your coffee.

I've tried many others and this is my favorite.This is the coffeemaker I would give as a gift to someone who really loves their coffee.

Now I will retire to my DTC-975BK and celebrate its excellence with an afternoon cup of French Roast.
