Cuisinart Coffee Maker, 12-Cup Glass Carafe, Automatic Hot & Iced Coffee Maker, Single Server Brewer, Stainless Steel, SS-16

The Cuisinart Coffee Maker, 12-Cup Glass Carafe, Automatic Hot & Iced Coffee Maker, Single Server Brewer offers a lot of flexibility for coffee lovers. It features two separate reservoirs, one for brewing a full pot of coffee and one for a single-serve cup. This means that when you brew a pot, you don't use up all the water from the single-serve reservoir, which is a plus. The single-serve reservoir can hold 40 oz of water, enough to brew three 10 oz cups or five 6 oz cups before refilling. The dimensions of the coffee maker are 10.5" wide x 10.5" deep x 14.5" tall, which is smaller than initially stated. The 12-cup pot uses a #4 cone-shaped filter, while the single-serve side uses K-cups or a refillable "bullet" filter basket, which can be emptied, rinsed, and reused. It is important to note that some customers have experienced issues with the single-serve side not puncturing the K-cup properly, resulting in noise and blinking lights. The coffee maker does not come with a charcoal water filter like the previous model, but instead suspends the filter about 1/2 inch above the water intake, which some customers find to be a less effective design. Overall, customers appreciate the flexibility and options offered by the Cuisinart Coffee Maker. The dual functionality of brewing a single cup or a full pot is convenient for different situations. The coffee maker is easy to use and works well, producing great-tasting coffee. However, some customers have experienced reliability issues with the heating element not holding up after a couple of months.
