Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart FlavorBrew Thermal 10-Cup Coffeemaker, Black
Customer Review: 4.5 Stars
Summary: 4 Stars
I spent about a week researching coffeemakers with the thermal carafe. I like strong coffee and have grown tired of my second and subsequent cups tasting burnt. What I really liked about this one was it has the features I need without bells and whistles I won't need. Specifically, I have my own grinder and didn't want to pay an extra $30-$40 for something I won't use. I shied away from the 12-cup pots because of so many complaints of overflow/bad designs. There were only a few reviews on this one and all positive, so I took a chance. I've had this coffeemaker for about a month now and have used it everyday.
Pros: I have had no problems with overflow (and I brew all 10 cups most days). Timer is easy to use and I've had no problems with it either. Thermal carafe does it's job and coffee is still pretty hot 3 hours later (if it's been longer than that, I'm typically done with it for the day). Coffee itself tastes pretty good (both the generic stuff and the more specialized coffee) without filter. It took about 6 cycles of the coffeemaker to get the new/plastic taste out of it - without using white vinegar (using that may have sped it up some). Design of the maker itself is decent: it's a reasonable height and should fit under most cabinets, top requires a quarter turn to tighten but is not difficult to get on/off, pours slower than a normal pot but that should be expected given the thermal design.
Cons: I knocked it a half star for a couple of reasons. It stays hot for 3 hours (in my experience), but it's still not quite as hot as its burner bretheren. Some thermal makers raise the temp of the water during the brewing process to make up for this (Bunn, in particular) and you don't notice a difference. The coffee definitely doesn't get cold, and yes, you can warm up the carafe before you start, but that's not practical for early morning use. It's not that big of a temperature difference, just noticable if you like really hot coffee. For the sake of taste later in the day it's worth the trade. Another reason I knocked it a half star was the resevoir design could be improved. The water pump is right up the middle so when you go to fill, you have to fill on the side or you'll splash water everywhere. Not that big of a deal, just a quirk. And as some have mentioned, the top hole is small making it a little more work to clean.
Overall, I'm happy with it and would recommend.
