Produces lukewarm coffee. Cannot make hot coffee, even using the 1-4 cup button. Uses a hotplate which only heats the outside of the thermal carafe. This is a useless feature; can't place it anywhere. I've owned a 12 cup carafe coffee maker by Cuisinart for the last couple of years. It made great coffee and made it hot. It tended to sometimes overflow if the basket was not properly inserted. Overflowing coffee ran down into the buttons on the base and disabled all the controls. This DCC-1150 model has the buttons above the carafe. I thought this would solve the overflow problem. It would be a great design if the temperature issues were addressed.

I bought this coffee maker over a year ago. Still works great. Keeps coffee hot. How long do you expect to keep coffee hot enough to burn your lips? All these whiners need to shell out the big bucks for a $200-300 coffee pot. For $70. you get a great tasting cup of coffee, you dont have to worry about forgetting to turn it off or getting burnt coffee, and the thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours...then pretty warm after that. only thing is pouring in the water is kinda tricky..but, learn to turn your arm just right, and its in. I love it, would buy another in a second.

I am MUCH happier with this coffee maker, than the one I replaced ( A Cuisinart Grind and Brew). It is so easy to use, as opposed to the old one which was VERY time and labor involved. Anyone looking to buy a Cuisinart coffee maker should heed the many warnings of buyers who tell of the time involved washing the grinder after EVERY use with the Grind and Brew. Buy an inexpensive grinder if you prefer whole bean, and purchase this model.
The only negative I have of this model, is that the water fill level is not clearly marked, and transfer of water by means of the carafe is hindered by the cover. Otherwise it is a great, fast machine!

Got this last Christmas and apparently the electronics have failed after 3-1/2 months. Won't turn on, no clock display, no lights. Not sure I even want to wait for a replacement. This is my second Cuisinart coffeemaker and the last one lived for 6 years. Just unlucky, I guess.

When you buy a coffee maker you have two options. Get one with a glass carafe or one with a heat insulated metallic carafe. If you go the glass route the glass container looses the heat quickly so the hot plate stays on to compensate. The problem with that is after 15 minutes the coffee gets bruised from too much heat and looses flavor. The metallic route turns the hot plate off and retains the heat with the special insulation that the glass design can't offer. A professional heat insulated thermos will retain the heat for maybe 5 hours. Coffee maker insulated thermoses like the one you get with this model aren't as good and can only do a good job keeping it hot for 2 hours in my opinion. Some reviews said this design kept it warm for 5 hours.
Pros
* 3 year warranty. My old Krups broke after a year and it came with no warranty.
* Heat insulated carafe to retain fresh tasting warm coffee all mourning.
* Charcoal water filter built in to filter out bad tasting tap water before it mixes with coffee.
* Automatic timer option so it will turn itself on and brew any time of the day. Tried it out and works like it should. The stuff starts brewing right when I wake up. Coffee purists say coffee should be kept air tight before you brew it so letting it rest in the machine not air tight with this feature would violate that principle. I thing=k it tastes fine.
* Has a feature for brewing 5 cups + or 4 cups or less. This way it adjusts the hot plate accordingly. Cheapo coffee makers will have a set hot plate setting no matter how much liquid is in the carafe. So if your brewing less it might get burnt were if you were brewing the max amount the carafe can hold it heats it just right.
* Beaps when coffee is ready to serve.
* Machine sell for less than $100 but most machines that come with these features
Cons
* Carafe can consistently keep coffee warm and fresh for 2 hours but after that I need to microwave. I usually only need a 2 hour window so it isn't a problem for me.
* Narrow space to pour water in machine. I use a measuring cup to pour, otherwise water will spill down side of machine.
* Automatic timer feature not intuitive.
Having it turn it self on and brew for any set time is not intuitive to figure out and instruction book doesn't explain well. After maybe 8 minutes of monkeying around I figured out how to use every feature it offered.
* 10 cup max. Some machines can brew 12 cups. I will never have a tea party for 10 or 12 so I could care less.
