The convenience factor is another reason why it’s my preferred way of brewing coffee. All you need to do is add some beans and water the night before and set the time for when you wake up. This feature is also helpful if you’re hosting guests for dinner. The Cuisinart can brew up to 10 cups of coffee in a single-serve. So if you have a big family with high caffeine tolerances, then you can satisfy everyone’s craving with one brew. This is by far my favorite benefit since I can prepare the machine the night before, and when I wake up, all I have to do is pour a cup of coffee.

Our top pick has six buttons with preset temperature settings on the handle, plus a Start button and a Keep Warm button. We started our original testing by timing how long it took each kettle to bring a liter of water to a boil. With the variable-temperature kettles, we also measured how accurate their internal thermometer was for various non-boiling temperatures. We recommend this precise-aim gooseneck kettle for anyone preparing pour-over coffee or for tea lovers who will geek out over its spot-on temperature accuracy.
The Coffee Center also has a couple of features to conserve energy. There’s an auto off feature on the drip brew side that’s adjustable. This lets you decide when the coffee maker will shut off and can be set for up to four hours after the brew cycle is finished. First, the 60 ounce reservoir for the drip brewer is not removable. You’ll need to have enough clearance above the coffee maker to pour in your water. Not only that, filling the water tank takes a steady hand seeing as there isn’t much of an opening to aim for.
The Cuisinart coffee maker is a machine worth getting if you love good coffee but not the process of making it. The grinding and brewing process is automatic, and you can set it to start brewing ahead of time. You also don’t need to heat up your water or worry about your coffee going cold.
I evaluated its coffee quality, setup, cleanup, ease of use, and price. On those busy mornings, a 24-hour brew start function ensures your coffee will be waiting for you. As with many automatic coffee makers, the drip brewer side of the Cuisinart uses up all the water each time it brews. However, there’s a handy easy-view water window that will help you accurately measure. Oh, and there’s also a charcoal water filter inside to ensure the water you use doesn’t have any off-putting flavors. Single-serve coffee makers offer unbeatable convenience, and one of the best coffee machines that uses coffee pods is the Keurig K-Elite.
Clean your coffee maker with baking soda by using a one-to-three ratio of baking soda to warm water, allowing it to dissolve before pouring the mixture into the coffee maker. While I’m not a fan of the K Cup way of life, I appreciate that Cuisinart included environmentally-friendly brewing products upfront without me having to buy the reusable filters separately. That in itself makes the Keurig K-Mini Center a viable option for those who want a coffee maker with the best of both worlds. I’ve already congratulated the manufacturer on its reusable single serve filter in this Cuisinart Coffee Center review.
And for cold-brew coffee makers, engineers assess ease of cleaning, and taste testers judge each brew. It has a “grab a cup” feature that pauses the brewing cycle (for moments when you just can’t wait for the full pot to brew) and a two-hour warming plate. Clever contributor Terri Williams ranked this refined stainless Cuisinart Coffee steel programmable coffee maker as the best “splurge” option in our coffee maker roundup. It’s precise, durable, and makes a luxuriously flavorful cup of coffee. All you have to do is add your ground coffee beans to the brewing basket, some water to the side-access water reservoir, and press a button.
If you’re not a coffee or tea aficionado, you may want a no-frills basic model that simply boils water. In either case, an electric kettle also works for people who hate the alarming sound of whistling kettles and want a fast, more automatic path to their morning cup of caffeine. It’s also useful for those who don’t have easy access to a stove, such as students living in a dorm. The Cuisinart CPK-17 PerfecTemp Cordless Electric Kettle has been our top pick since 2013 because of its consistent performance and easy-to-use interface. In our tests, we found very little variation in the amount of time it took to bring a full kettle of water (1.7 L) to a boil—about 7 minutes on average. We were also impressed with this kettle’s accuracy in holding water at a set temperature.
And while it’s still a bit of a splurge, you can treat yourself to this high quality coffee maker this Prime Day with a nice lil 13% shaved off the top. The Cuisinart Brew Central Stainless Steel Coffee Maker is a reliable drip coffee maker with a large 12-cup carafe, making it a go-to option for those who drink multiple cups of coffee each day. A great balance of simplicity and quality, BUNN’S 10-cup coffee maker is one of Mason’s recommendations if you’re looking for great-tasting coffee without a complicated brewing experience. The process is as easy as adding grounds (you’ll need a paper filter) and pouring in the water.
