Cuisinart 5-Cup Coffeemaker with Stainless Steel Carafe

This 5-cup coffeemaker is vastly improved over my older Cuisinart 5-cup model which died after 18 years of frequent use. The new, clear water reservoir removes for filling and has a built-in water filter. The inclusion of a nylon filter obviates the need for paper filters. The stainless-steel carafe has a new shape that makes it much easier to pour the brewed coffee without spills or drips. I use this coffeemaker when traveling, and it is compact and easy to set up in a hotel room and makes much better and more coffee than those 1-cup machines you often find in hotels that use K-cups or other coffee pods. The heated plate on the base does keep the coffee hot to the last drop. As one of us prefers coffee over tea, I will run the coffeemaker without coffee, then pour the very hot water over tea bags in the stainless-steel carafe from my old coffeemaker. Then, while the tea brews, I make the coffee.
