Fits my huge 12.5in de buyer pan nicely at good price. It's really light weight, extremely light weight in fact. Will be hard to keep it dent free.

The blender worked great from May 18th to today July 13th. The plastic part that you put the pitcher on just crumbled. I contacted Cuisinart and they said there is nothing they can do as they don't sell that part. So I am out of $150.

**PSA: If your machine leaks is because you did not remove the very bright red seal that it points to be removed in several occasions with different instructions and eveb stickers,during setup** I did research for weeks which was hard because the machine was released recently. But I am very pleased with my purchase. Excellent quality and value for a *home* espresso machine. Espressos are flavorful and crema is great as long as you know how to dial your puck. Think a mix of Dedica arte and ECP 3630 but with a thermoblock. I haven't seen any bottomless or naked portafilters yet for this machine, so I can't speak about the quality with an unpressurized filter but overall is a well rounded machine.I recommend doing all your espressos and then steaming milk and do purge your wand before starting so you don't get any extra water inside (people that complain about this, most high end machines recommend purging!) The panarello wand is not necessarily a flaw but if you want to do latte art. Probably better to detach the panarello, the wand gets milk too hot too fast and too much aeration comes in. (I don't recommend as it could void your warranty, and you need to secure it to prevent injury. just stating it can be done for the curious) Also recommend doing several rinses to prime the machine. I have not experienced any plasticky flavor. Don't expect la marzocco espresso quality, but closer to the bambino functionality and flavor, except for the panarello. Great value.

I received it today and found the plastic lid is broken. I repackaged it right away and requested a return. Waste of time.

We bought these turntables to create Lazy Susan storage in our food pantry. They were perfect size and work great! No hardware needed. Sturdy enough to hold the weight and still spin smoothly.

This is hands down the best cutting board I’ve had, 6 weeks later after oiling it shines well, it’s huge which is what I needed for meat smoking!!

I have used this for 3 months and the handle has already detached on one side.

I bought this as birthday present around 1.5 years ago and it has been used almost every day during the summer and spring and every once in a while during the winter. We've gotten a lot of use from this basic set and is awesome for traveling. Everything, from the case, attachments, utensils has not been damaged by wear and tear. The grill brush was damaged by a person who had never used the tool and that was accidental damage but we still get use from it. Super easy to clean, sturdy pieces and worth the price. I have bought another one for another birthday! The photos are current after a whole summer of use.

I was so excited to receive this pan, by the 2nd or 3rd time that I used this pan I noticed it had formed a bump in the center making difficult to use. In the picture I poured water to show that the water went to the sides and no water formed in the center. Very disappointing.

This waffle iron is fantastic! I use it every weekend. It heats up quickly, offers multiple settings to customize doneness, and the waffles are cooked perfectly every time. And, the nonstick surface works perfectly—no sticking, just a quick wipe to clean up drips. The only downside is that it doesn’t fold up, so it takes up a bit more counter or cabinet space. Very happy with it.

As others said, the sides are too tall creating a minimal thickness of 13/32" out of the box. I took a 4" hand grinder and reduced them to approximately 1/4". I think the width is also a little excessive (>6") unless you have very large hamburger buns. All said it is well made, the spatula is nice and heavy and it makes smash burgers that are delicious. Cuisinart should have designed this a little better and shouldn't require modification to be usable for its intended purpose.

I recently purchased this waffle maker, but unfortunately, the batter leaks out from the bottom every time I use it (as shown in the photo). Also, the waffles stick to the plates and are very difficult to remove. I would like to return it !

I purchased the 22oz. Good quality. Packaged well. Will purchase bigger sizes in the future.

I researched coffeemakers until I couldn’t stand it anymore. I finally settled on this Cuisinart and I think it was a good choice overall. The coffee is good flavored (no plastic taste) and the temperature of the coffee is very hot. I like being able to change the carafe temperature setting. We keep it on medium, since we find the high setting is way too hot and we have to wait too long for the coffee to cool to a drinkable temperature. With other coffee makers we have had a problem with the carafe spout dripping coffee all over the counter while pouring the coffee. This Cuisinart does not do that. That was a welcome change. Also, after the brewing cycle on our previous machines, when we would open the top of the coffeemaker to remove the filter with grounds, water would pour down the back of the machine and keep dripping for awhile onto the counter. This Cuisinart drips down the back a little when you first open the top, but not a lot, and it doesn’t keep on dripping. One wipe-up and we’re good. We like the 5-beep signal that the brewing cycle is done. Also, it beeps twice when the 2 hour keep-warm cycle ends. That’s a nice feature. I read many reviews that said there was a problem with a lot of machines having the hot plate rust or flake. We haven’t been using our machine long enough to experience that, but having read those reviews, we’ve made sure to always dry the bottom of the carafe before placing it back on the hot plate. I’ve also read some negative reviews about the design of the black plastic rim around the top of the carafe, saying it holds water or coffee and doesn’t allow for a complete clean out. I find that is true of our machine as well, and I don’t like that design at all. It is tough to pour the last little bit of coffee or water out of the carafe, and liquid does get trapped inside the rim. I noticed this when I washed the carafe this morning with soap and water, rinsed it and then dried it completely. I saw that water continued to drip down the inside which had to have been coming from inside the rim. I’m a little concerned about bacteria forming inside there from leftover coffee, because there’s no way to clean that out completely. Also I’ve attached a picture that shows the inner side of the handle against the glass holds water that has gotten in there, as well as water trapped under the metal band that goes around the lower part of the outside of the carafe. That metal band seems to serve no purpose other than decoration and advertisement, as it says the word Cuisinart on it. Since the inside of the handle is on the outside of the glass, that trapped water is not contaminating or causing a problem with the coffee, so I guess I won’t worry about that one too much, but it is still a design flaw that Cuisinart should correct. The main reason being that I saw a few drops seep out of the bottom of the handle, which could possibly contribute to the rusting issue of the hot plate, since I thought the carafe was totally dry before putting it back on the hot plate, not realizing it would drip afterwards. The design of the top of the carafe is my biggest complaint about this machine. A carafe is such a simple item, it should never have water trapped anywhere in it. My last machine had a very simple flip up lid with no plastic rim around the top of the carafe. Never had a problem with it, except for the spout dripping. That could’ve been solved with molding the glass spout a little bigger. I think Cuisinart should re-design their carafe to eliminate that black plastic rim. Otherwise, we are pretty satisfied with the unit. Time will tell how long it keeps working compared to previous ones we’ve used.

I ordered the 12 cup carafe as a replacement carafe for my Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Duo. I knew going into this that this wouldn’t fit, and that was also the case here. However, I made sure to keep the lid from my Hamilton Beach carafe before tossing out the broken glass. I took off the lid of the Cuisinart and placed the old lid on top. It doesn’t snap into place since the design is different, but if you turn the lid at an angle it will sit flush. The old lid provided enough height to engage the spring and was able to successfully drip coffee without making a mess! Granted, it comes with trade offs. I have to be extra careful putting in or taking out the carafe since it’s not a perfect fit. I also have to ensure I take off the lid when pouring a cup of coffee or it will obviously fall off. It’s not the worst, but this will do for now. So, if you’re looking for a replacement carafe for your Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Duo AND kept the old lid, you may be in luck. That being said, the 14-cup Cuisinart carafe might fit? Not sure. If this carafe also breaks I’ll purchase the 14 cup version and see if that fits and then update this review
