Customer Reviews With Photos

This Cuisinart espresso machine was more affordable than the other pricey ones. It’s a well known brand that’s recognized for quality. Based on that, I decided to make this purchase. It makes the single and double size espressos and it makes them quickly. It,s compatible with the Nespresso brand pods. While on vacation I enjoyed making espressos every morning in my hotel room using the original well know brand espresso maker & I knew this was a must have for my own kitchen. This cuisinart performs as well as that hotel espresso machine & makes a great espresso very quickly. I really recommend this product for the quality, price & performance. In fact my daughter bought the same one after seeing mine working and tasting what a delicious espresso it made.

I’m so impressed with this can opener! It’s incredibly easy to use—just press a button, and it smoothly opens cans with no effort required. The sleek design is both functional and modern, and it works on a variety of can sizes. What I love most is how safe it is; the edges of the can are completely smooth, preventing any cuts. It’s been a huge time-saver in the kitchen, and I’m so glad I purchased it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make meal prep a little easier!

UPDATE: Cuisinart had great customer service and made it right for us. What was once an inconvenienced unhappy customer is now a satisfied customer. Manufacturing team built the stand backwards. Because of this the grill will not fold all the way down. Double checked to make sure the problem wasn’t on our end. Also the bracket holes that are on the bottom of the grill do not line up, prohibiting the connector pins to go through the bracket. Horrible experience and inconvenient. Will update once I hear back from the company.

I lucked out with getting a warehouse reject. Examining at first Glace no damages to it, not even a scratch. First time use it made my nuggies to perfection super simple to understand and use. The magnetic fuse is a feature I was originally vexed by but learned to love for how easy it is to disconnect without spilling oil everywhere. The cover is my favorite feature keeps all the oil in and has a little basket hole for complete closure without interruption, it has a big vent on too so be careful not to blast yourself with steam. Absolutely love the mini basket, could just be a woman thing but it brings me joy.

Solid Zero star! A pure garbage!! DON'T BUY!!! This is my second unit—my first one failed after just a few uses. The seller replaced it with a brand new unit, but it turned out to be the same worthless junk. When trying to slice pork belly or ham, the slicer gives off a strange, plasticky smell and eventually starts smoking. After slowly slicing just 2 pounds of meat, the cog stopped spinning due to a burned-out drive gear. I even replaced the cog myself, but the same issue keeps happening over and over. Pro Food Slicer? Maybe—if you're only slicing cucumbers or bread. Otherwise, avoid this thing at all costs!

The worlds worst steak knives- each and every knife will eventually break like this one. Cutting butter? Really?? Garbage.

Wanted to wait a bit to leave a review. I have used this coffee maker for 2 months everyday sometimes twice a day. I love the look of this cuisinart brewer very clean looking. It’s simple to use and the coffee is HOT which helps a lot with flavor. Our choice was this or a bunn. Went through reviews on both and chose this strictly on the appearance. That was the deciding factor plain and simple. Easy to use, program, clean. My huge dislike is they advertise as a 14 cup brewer. Ya the carafe holds 14 cups of coffee that is gonna be full of coffee grounds. If you put more than 10 cups worth in might as well start chewing. Big disappointment. I have a 14 cup brewer that can only brew 10 cups.

I purchased the Cuisinart Coffee Maker, 14-Cup Glass Carafe, DCC-3200P1 in 2017 and although it's still working I decided to purchase the Cuisinart CHW-16 12-Cup Coffeemaker & Hot Water System about a month ago. I absolutely LOVE this coffeemaker for the following reasons: 1. The beep sound when coffee is finished brewing is much quieter, something I appreciate since I am "noise sensitive." For those who might not hear the beep, the CARAFE TEMP button illuminates when it's done brewing. 2. Since there are mostly just two of us drinking coffee, the 12 cup capacity is sufficient, and when we have company there's plenty for four large mugs. 3. The coffee and the water both brew hot--I tested with an instant read thermometer and the coffee is +/- 200ºF, the water a few degrees lower--plenty hot. 4. I use a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup to fill the water tanks; for the two of us I pour in 4 cups. I've found this much easier than using the carafe, and no spills. 5. I really prefer a GLASS carafe so I can put it in the dishwasher every week (along with the lid and filter basket). I like that the lid comes off the carafe for easy cleaning. It is very durable, even though I've "clunked" it a few times against my sink. I even bought a spare carafe in case it broke--but it never did. 6. The hot water dispenser is a game-changer for me! I put a small stainless thermos on the stand and fill it with hot water while the coffee is brewing, then put a lid on it. When coffee is ready, I pour mine in my mug and my husband's in the thermos since he drinks his later. After sliding the water lever back to LOCK, I remove the thermos from the stand, and place a folded paper towel on it to catch a drip or two if necessary (I re-use it). The stand removes easily for taller mugs. 7. I have the coffeemaker/hot water ready to turn on in the morning but do not program it to turn on since I'm never sure when I'll wake up. ;-) 8. My afternoon coffee uses the 1-4 cups feature which works well. 9. I do not miss the "BOLD" setting from my old coffeemaker; if I want it stronger I simply add a bit more coffee. 10. The carafe pours beautifully--no drips or dribbles. 11. It brews fairly quickly and I set the carafe temp to LOW so it can wait a few minutes while I finish getting my breakfast without "cooking" my coffee. 12. It makes some brewing noises which bothers some people, but I don't mind at all. I have low cabinets, and pull out the coffeemaker to brew, and have NOT noticed any leaking or excessive steam. 13. I am so thankful for the clock display change--I hated the blue light background on the old coffeemaker, this one is easier on my eyes and simpler to read. 14. The entire design is simpler and more attractive in my small kitchen. Things I've learned: - After every brew I remove the carafe and filter basket to partially fill with warm water (and soap for the carafe), and clean in the dishwasher every week (at least) to ensure coffee oils are removed. I also leave the brew lid open to air dry. - My old Cuisinart did not illuminate the CLEAN button until two months ago (!!), but I use filtered water and decalcified every month; I plan to do the same with this one. I had hard water deposits under the lid I could never remove; now I am sure to wipe dry under the lid to minimize that. - My old Cuisinart's hot plate got nasty looking, but I realize I was not careful about wiping any coffee drips (hard on the finish); now I wipe with the damp dishcloth used for under the lid. - Even though I use filtered water, I do use the charcoal filters--so thankful they are the same size for both coffeemakers since I had a supply on hand. I'm donating my old functioning coffeemaker and totally enjoying my new one!

I don't know why there are reviews showing sets without riveted handles but I received the set I purchased. The MCP-12N 12 Piece set by Cuisinart, the handles are riveted onto all of the pots, pans, and lids. I will updated this review after more use but so far so good. The quality is great, the pots and pans seem to be made very well. I used the saute pan to cook green beans in oil with shaved almonds and the 3 Qt saucepan to cook mac-n-cheese for our dinner the day that I received the set. Both worked great and were very easy to clean. I will say that this would be a 5 start review if cuisinartoutlets.com had placed the OEM packaging into another box for shipping. The product box was damaged and I am surprised that the bottom didn't give out as it had started to come undone. Nothing seemed damaged but I can see how others are receiving sets that are damaged. If I didn't have as hidden a front stoop as I do this set could have easily been stolen due to it being shipped in the OEM packaging. I don't see the cost of a box and a few airpacks to keep the inner box from shifting being more expensive than having to replace a damaged or stolen 12 piece set.

Product works just as it should. Don't expect to stuff a ton of ingredients into your sandwich, the grill isn't built for huge sandwiches. It's mainly for grilled cheese, pizza sandwich, etc. (Thin sandwiches) seller shipped it quickly and it arrived in perfect condition. There is no need to remove the plates to clean them because they wipe clean very easily using a paper towel (don't use a damp one unless the plates have cooled down) My sister bought this for me to replace my old one because she ruined it. This one is way better than the one I had before!

I have had nothing but trouble with this set of pans. After single uses, the coating on the inside keeps coming off. This has happened to three 2-quart pots (the original 2-quart was returned to CuisinArt twice and the replacement flaked off as well), a 3-quart pot, and the 8-quart stock pot. When I contacted the manufacturer about this - they will only replace a single pot at a time, t your expense, and with something that does not match the set. It seems their customer support refuses to inform corporate that there is something wrong with this equipment. I was a big CuisinArt supporter, but am looking for a better product elsewhere. My recommendation - you should do the same!

This Cuisinart does a great job of chopping. But try to make shred carrots or cabbage, say for coleslaw, and it will disappoint you. When you install either shredding/slicing blade, you will notice a large gap, maybe 0.5 inches, between the edge of the blade and the edge of the bowl. As expected, when you run carrots or cabbage through the feeding tube and attempt to shred these, there are remnants that, in my old Cuisinart food processor, would remain on the top of the shredding blade. But in this food processor, those remnants get spun to the side of the blade and over into the bowl because of the large gap. So I end up having to sort through the shreds in the bowl to find the large pieces that did not get shredded. I'm attaching a photo showing all the large bits that ended up in the bowl of the Cuisinart after shredding about a pound of carrots. I had to sift through everything in the bowl to find and remove these, as I was making a carrot cake. These are fairly large pieces; the second photo shows their sizes compared to the shredding blade. I called Cuisinart customer support about this, and the rep I talked with offered to send me a new bowl. How that would fix the problem, I had no idea. I received the new bowl, and it is identical to the old bowl and has the same issues. The problem seems to be a serious design issue. The slicing blades that come with the 9-cup processor are the same ones used in the 7-cup processor. Perhaps they work better in the 7-cup processor, assuming that the diameter of the top of the bowl is smaller than for the 9 cup. Anyway, I'm very disappointed in my purchase, as well as in my interaction with Cuisinart customer support.

I bought the extended warranty. Now I can't use the food processor for lack of one simple part - the removable blade that twirls and processes food. I could return the whole kit and kaboodle, but that would require a long drive transporting the entire assembly. So, now I have a small blender that is extremely sensitive to overheating. It takes forever to get the job done. My main complaint: I purchased a food processor that is now useless, and the warranty is not helpful. I need one piece, one small piece that cuisinartoutlets.com could send in a small box. That's all. I don't need a four-hour round trip carrying a bunch of parts so I can return them all to cuisinartoutlets.com. After reading the other one-star reviews, I see why the price keeps dropping on this product. In the photos, the green scale shows: the blender jar, assembled weighs 3.6 lbs. The glass itself weighs 3 lbs. The rest of the assembly weighs only 0.6 lbs. - because it's mostly cheap plastic. The motor, which cuts off randomly, weighs almost 3 lbs. The glass jar holds such a small volume, and it can't handle big jobs. Don't even think about using this for large meal preparation, unless you want to spend two days to blend five pounds of potatoes. Furthermore, do NOT make the mistake of buying a warranty, unless you want another one just like it. I would be ashamed to give it to charity, so it's gone.

…and then a new shipping label slapped on. I sent this as a gift and was so embarrassed. I’m horrified at this. Bought NEW version, not refurbished or anything either.

Works great so far. One week in! Yay! My only question is.. what does the “single” button do? I’ve pressed it and turned on that side of the toaster but I cannot figure out its purpose. The manual ignores it.
