So far so good. I gave it 4 stars, only because it is louder than any of my other previous Cuisinart coffee brewers. The louder noise is brief though while it is brewing. It’s doable. Not a huge deal, but noticeable. When I first cleaned it to get it started a code kept popping up. There were no instructions on how to address this error code to move forward for use. I found the fix online: press and hold down the hot water and rinse buttons simultaneously. This worked, no more error message and the machine was ready to start making it’s first cup. About 20 cups have been made since the time of this review and it works perfectly! It looks great! I like that this one also has a 12 ounce option too. So far so good. I would buy it again! I always buy Cuisinart. I tried ... MoreSo far so good. I gave it 4 stars, only because it is louder than any of my other previous Cuisinart coffee brewers.

I was a huge fan of our 1st Cuisinart single-serve brewer. I thought of it as my pre-dawn coffee partner and it was all but indestructible, lasting many years. But the flashy plastic "chrome" finish on the new one only makes me miss our old, mostly dull aluminum Cuisinart even more. The new one (bought Dec. 2022) superficially resembles the old one, but it has a second hinged lid that is, apparently, a redundant, dubious safety-feature. That 2d lid can't be closed until the main lid is shut first (it takes both hands to do this), otherwise the machine simply refuses to announce "Ready," for warm water especially. Any ideas how to fix? Also, the pump is much noisier than the old one and there's no light to see, pre-dawn, how much water is in the tank.

I purchased the Cuisinart Premium Single Serve Brewer to replace a different brand which I was not happy with. I love the fact that I can fill up the water bin and not have to put water in the top of the machine every time I use it to make a cup of coffee. It is very attractive looking and fits in well with my other stainless steel appliances. Makes the coffee very quick and hot. I read about it making loud noises, but mine does not. It just makes your typical brewing noise at first. Great Price at Bed Bath & Beyond with coupon. Fast delivery and it came perfect.
