THE BEST CUP OF COFFEE IN ONE MINUTE

Approximately 12 years ago before the Christmas holidays, Keurig flooded the TV air waves with commercials for their new K cup pod coffee maker that quickly brewed one cup of coffee. I liked the concept but never heard of Keurig and had no idea who they were or if they were a legitimate company or merely a scam so I didn’t buy their coffee maker. On January 5, 2011 I was shopping in Costco and saw a Cuisinart K cup coffee maker. Having a Cuisinart food processor, can opener, toaster and conventional coffee maker I was familiar with the company and the fine quality of their products. It used the K pods that the other company’s coffee maker used. It was love at first site and I bought the Cuisinart SS780PC coffee maker for $164.99. I loved that coffee maker and used her to pleasure myself every day and some days two, three and more times a day. We’ll here it is 11+ years later and she started to wear out from old age. The pump was sluggish and would no longer pump out a full 12 ounce mug of coffee. I sip and savor every one of those perfectly brewed 12 ounces of coffee. So I felt let me buy the current Cuisinart replacement for the model SS780PC I presently had and I went directly to Amazon and found the SS10 Cuisinart coffee maker and bought it immediately for $139.95. I was impressed with the voluminous number of 5 star reviews and I never pay any mind to an occasional 1 or 2 star review. Negative people write negative reviews and attempt to punish the manufacturer for mishaps caused by their own ignorance. Case in point splashing on the counter top. Possibly Sir Issac Newton could explain it better but if common sense prevailed there would be no splashing on the counter top. When a liquid drips from a higher point down to a standing liquid at a lower point the drops that are standing will splash up from being hit by the falling drops from above, especially if you use a shallow low sided tea cup. If a couple drops splash wipe it up with a paper towel, it’s not the fault of Cuisinart and it’s no big deal. Certainly not rocket science but basic rules of gravity. This new model does not have the blue light illuminatIng the water reservoir when water is low and has two heat settings HOT and VERY HOT rather than multiple degree settings. The engineers at Cuisinart realized these two features are not critical and designed a much better coffee maker for a $25 lower price eleven years after their original model was manufactured I loved my SS780PC but will have a torrid romance with this SS10. It is well designed and attractive, aesthetically adds to the beauty of my custom designed and handsomely decorated gourmet kitchen. I turn it on and immediately the open head icon illuminates, I put in a K pod and in less than one minute I’m sipping a 12 ounce mug of freshly brewed delicious and satisfying coffee. On top of that Cuisinart gives you a three year warranty. Talk about a manufacturer having faith in their product’s quality. I’m so glad I was skeptical years ago and never bought a Keurig. My old Cuisinart gave me 11 years of faithful service and I’m looking forward to a very long and enjoyable relationship with my new SS10. If you’re looking to buy a K pod single serve coffee brewer, don’t waste any more time looking. BUY this one it looks great, represents EXCELLENT VALUE, will brew you an EXCELLENT CUP OF COFFEE in a minute, is covered by Cuisinart’s 3 year warranty and Amazon will deliver it to your front door. GREAT PRICE, GREAT VALUE, GREAT SERVICE who could ask for more.

Much Better Than the Leading Brand of Pod Coffee Makers

I have had several over the years pod coffee makers from the leading brand. In the past they performed very well and lasted years. Recently I have had nothing but problems with those pod makers lasting just over a year and then they stop working. After having two of them last only 1 year I decided to try another brand. That's what lead me to give the Cuisinart a try. I can't vouch for the longevity yet but the functionality of the machine is so much better than the leading brand. It works totally different and I like it much better. It is much faster making successive cups than the other brand. It is also better built right down to the needles that puncture the coffee pod. It is better looking too. I would say the coffee is as good or a tad better than the leading brand pod maker. The lid mechanism is very strong. The function settings are very easy to set. It does have a blue display screen that looks nice but they need to add contrast to the lettering to make it a bit easier to read. One other addition for future models would be some kind of illumination in the water tank making it easier to tell the water level. Out of the box I love this machine much better than the other brand function wise. If it hold up that will be the icing on the cake. UPDATE: ALL OWNERS OF THIS MACHINE PLEASE READ: I too at times as some reviewers have stated have encountered the top punched hole on the top of the K-pod being punched larger than normal by the closing of the lid by the machine causing some grounds to come out of the pod into the coffee. I have found a simple solution that requires no altering or tampering with the machine. Here is what I do and so far no more grounds spilling out. I have gone through dozens of pods with no problems. When placing the K-pod in the machine receptacle use both thumbs on each side of the K-pod and press it down until to hear the distinct snap of the bottom of the pod being punctured by the needle. After that just close the lid as usual. Problem solved. I have made dozens and dozens of cups of coffee and the top hole punched by the machine is perfect with no enlargement or tears.

Love it

Ok..I've had many many kurig coffee makers and they don't last and decided to try this coffee maker. My very first k cup maker like this was actually a cusinart. So...for those complaining....yes it is loud- ish....it is plastic but what isn't plastic. It does take a bit long to brew but Its because it brews better. It has a 2 Temps regular and hot. The coffee is actually hot and tastes way better then any maker Ive had before. The hot water and rinse is a nice plus. I like the reservoir because it's way easier to handle then the top brand. So no spilling. I like it's not too high and it's compact but not really because top brand is huge. The price is kinda high. I got the white and glad I did because it doesn't stand out like some massive thing on my counter and it's kinda attractive. As far as people saying it splashes...no...it really doesn't. My keurig splashed and was noisy. It doesn't look or feel cheap because it's plastic. I am totally happy I choose this brand and model ...it makes great coffee and easy to clean. So far

Excellent Product!!!!!!

Everything about this Coffee Maker is wonderful! It is the best coffee pod maker we have ever purchased. Previously we have bought 5 Kurig makers in total since they first came out. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A KURIG. Our last one lasted exactly 2 years and then all of a sudden one morning it would not power on. My wife tried everything she knew to try as I was out of town then she called Kurig customer service and they told her to try the exact same things and still it wouldn’t turn on. They then told her there was nothing more they could offer as it was un-repairable and she would need to purchase a new one. It was a $220.00 machine that lasted 2 years. They then said they could offer a 30% off coupon if we bought another one from them. The coupon never did come. As it turned out, we benefited because I found the Cusinart machine on Amazon and it only cost $130.00 delivered. Moral of the story is STAY AWAY FROM KURIG and buy Cusinart. You will not be disappointed!!!
