When people are really “serious” about their coffee, they tend to purchase the finest equipment available to their budget, and usually their choices will include a Cusinart coffee maker.

This means certain grinders, filters and coffee makers will be required for them to achieve the sort of results they want. Now, this might mean a single-cup machine or a large capacity carafe, and many people will immediately look for a Cuisinart coffee maker for such requirements.

Why a Cuisinart coffee maker? The brand is known for producing reliable and high-quality kitchen equipment, and is also one of today’s most innovative coffee machine manufacturers. For example, they offer a combination grinder and brewer that makes a large pot of coffee, and they also offer an “on demand” machine that is directly connected to the home’s water supply.

Clearly, a Cuisinart coffee maker can be a wise choice for any shopper, but it does require a bit of research and comparison shopping before the best choice can be made for an individual’s needs. Before heading to the computer to do some online shopping, or to the nearest department store or mall, it is a wise idea to make a thorough list of the features needed.

For example, will the Cuisinart coffee maker need to have a coffee bean grinder? Will the temperature controls need to be adjustable? Does the machine need to include an insulated carafe? Should the coffee maker be programmable?

Because there are many different makes and models available, the best choices and prices can be found only when the shopper knows what they are actually looking for. Additionally, because a Cuisinart coffee maker tends to be among the most frequently “top rated” of the coffee machines available, it is quite likely that specialty websites and stores will offer interesting package deals. For instance, someone purchasing a machine with a grinder might also be offered the chance to purchase or receive gourmet coffee beans as well.

I have had the Cuisinart Coffee Makers brand DCC-1000 for about a week now. I was reluctant to spend so much on a coffee maker but I am pleased to report it’s easily worth it. Sure, you can get other brands of coffee makers for under $25 if economy is the most significant feature, but I have had those machines and I made a decision that, this time, a good coffee was most important for me. This coffee maker makes the best coffee I have had in a long time and better than most coffee I have had in restaurants .

The Cuisinart coffee makers java tastes great! I suspect the charcoal water filter is the cause of that. I also like the “shower head” design of the water spout. The water basically runs up a track onto the bottom of the lid and is spattered over the ground coffee like a rain shower.

It’s an engaging unit but it also is like a serious coffee maker. This unit is no toy. The carafe has a good solid feel and balance. It isn’t the light shitty plastic that cracks and discolors simply in the cheap coffee makers.

I like the 5 beeps when the coffee is prepared. I could hear the beeps. I like the permanent gold-tone filter too. I always thought paper filters were a mess. But you can use paper filters in this coffee maker if you need to.

Most Cuisinart coffee makers have an indicator light for cleaning — it is saying it’s “self-cleaning” but actually it’s just a light telling you when you want to pour in a pot of water/vinegar and run it through to decalcify the unit. ( I didn’t think to do that with my other units. Likely another excuse my coffee wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be. )

The hot plate settings is pretty nice too. And the auto-shutoff feature is great. It comes with a parts reordering form too.

But really I do not mind since I think they are the reason the coffee tastes so smooth, and they are really easy to modify and not expensive.

Just have to pour a little carefully.

The Cuisinart Two to Go Coffee Maker brews right into two travel mugs that hold 14 ounces of coffee each. The enticing black housing and top quality stainless steel mugs look great in any kitchen. Handy, the Cuisinart Two To Go coffee maker’s travel-ready mugs have close fitting lids and are ergonomically designed for a comfortable, slip-free grip. They fit most automobile cup holders, and their extra-deep sipping wells stops spills.

This particular unit is awfully cool. I honestly am not a very tidy person, my sink is full of stuff to clean, but with this I only have to wash out two cups and run standard water thru the unit to clean. I cannot understand why there are not more of these available, they skip an aggravating step in the daily coffee making process, and it keeps the bitter away!

I am really impressed by how well this works. The coffee comes out tasting wonderful, and it’s very fast. Due to the straightforwardness of making coffee with this machine I even find myself drinking coffee a ton more often than I used to- I used to NEVER drink coffee.

However, I do have a couple of minor recommendations to Cuisinart for future editions of this coffee maker: it would be actually useful if the base had some kind of warming feature. Since these mugs have immaculate steel surfaces they can’t be microwaved, so if you can’t drink the coffee immediately it would be nice if there had been a warming part on the base. I think the most important thing that is lacking from this product is an automatic timer. Designed for some one on the move, it’d it would be good to have the coffee already brewed so that after getting ready in the morning it’s there waiting to be grabbed before heading out the door, rather than having to hang around for it.

Also, the Cuisinart Two to Go Coffee Maker product leaflet doesn’t suggest putting these mugs in the dishwasher ; since one of the selling points of this coffee maker is convenience for people on the go, it would be nice if the mugs might be machine-washed rather than hand-washed. But another advantage of this coffeemaker is the fact that any commuter mug may be used, so if you have one of those plastic travel mugs from Starbucks, those are microwave and dishwasher safe, so you can decide to use those to brew the coffee instead.

{If you are a coffee drinker|If you really love coffee, you might want to look at a few of these other items from Cuisinart: Cuisinart pod coffee maker, Cuisinart gold tone filters, or any of the Cuisinart coffee maker filters, the Cuisinart thermal coffee maker, any of the Cuisinart coffee grinders (the Cuisinart grind and brew coffee maker is one of the things on my Christmas list!), and of course, the Cuisinart espresso maker!

All in all, this Cuisinart Two to Go Coffee Maker is suggested for :

* people who only drink 1 or two cups of coffee a day
* People who are on the run a lot and are out of time to fuss with a complete pot of coffee
* People with little kitchens who can’t have a conventional coffeemaker cluttering up their counter space
