Model: COD-4000BWSAThe Cuisinart Coffee On Demand introduces coffee without the carafe! The simple "press to serve" level allows you to dispense coffee cup by cup from the double-wall reservoir, ensuring that your coffee is always hot. Coffee GaugeTM on the front of the unit lets you know how many cups are remaining. This unit brews up to twelve 5 oz. cups at a time.Customer Review: Works fine, just one wish list item
This is a great coffee maker overall. I'd love to see a stainless holding tank for the coffee in the next generation. It's certainly convenient! Just load the coffee maker with water, looking at the convenient gauge on the side for the right level. A little trick that many people do not seem to understand is that the coffee reservoir pulls out and doubles as a water pitcher. See the pouring spout? Yep, that's it! Add your basket (which takes a normal #4 filter), coffee, and turn the left knob to 'brew'. Turn the right knob to 'on'. The Cuisinart beeps when the coffee is ready. Push the lever, and get your drink on! This coffee maker is fast, makes very good coffee, and keeps it hot without the burnt taste. Want it ready at a certain time? No problem. The clock is easy to set, the auto on works well. The empty/full gauge is a very appealing feature.
Customer Review: Coffeetime convienance. . .
Did you ever wonder if the people who design these gadgets ever use their product? I am giving it a 4-star rating because it does make very good tasting coffee, however it has some flaws you just have to live with: Not necessarily in any special order so here goes: 1. Water inlet. You pour the desired water into a small cavity right next to the warmer section. Be careful not to spill water into the wrong place! Seems like it should be color coded so you can tell where the water goes. 2. The water guage is on the side kind of out of view. Should be on the front. 3. The clock is too small, difficult to read the numbers. 4. When you open the top lid condensation runs down the back of the unit. 5. There is a HOT button for 1-4 cups of coffee... what about having hot coffee no matter how many cups you make? I turn this on every time. Well overall I like my coffee maker, it is handsome on the counter and does a really good job of making delicious coffee. Cleaning the inside chamber is easy and you don't have to worry about a glass carafe.
