Cuisinart Coffee Makers

Cuisinart's mission is to help you savor the good life - and it most definitely is a good life when you can start each day with a Cuisinart coffee maker in your kitchen. Cuisinart is the best-selling high-end brand in the coffee machine marketplace. Their design innovation and state-of-the-art features ensure that Cuisinart coffee makers are consistently listed among the very best coffee makers by consumer ratings and customer reviews alike.

There's always something good brewing in the creative minds at Cuisinart. Preferred by chefs and favored by consumers, Cuisinart's innovative culinary tools - including its world-famous food processors - have been transforming kitchens since the early 1970s. The company's signature combination of ingenious product features and elegant tech-industrial design makes each Cuisinart coffee machine a bold affirmation of both taste and style.

The Cuisinart Coffee Bar Collection on sale at CoffeeMakers.com includes programmable grind and brew coffee and espresso makers, single-serve brewing systems (a.k.a. pod coffee makers), percolators, coffee grinders, and electric kettles. With the sleek, ergonomic style and chic black and stainless steel housing of these beautiful coffee machines, your dreamy a.m. self will be living in a sci-fi fantasy until that first bracing cup of freshly ground joe.

But style aside, it's the features that make Cuisinart coffee makers a smart buy. If fresh grounds are your morning imperative, look for a Cuisinart Brew Central or Cuisinart Grind & Brew with 24-hour programmability. These machines will give you the freshest morning coffee, automatically grinding whole beans immediately before brewing - just in time for your second hit of the snooze bar and Pavlovian coffee craving.

Coffee on demand is another convenient feature to consider in a Cuisinart. Coffee is stored in a reservoir rather than dripped into a carafe; it then dispenses one cup at a time via the machine's "press to serve" function, keeping the coffee warm and you caffeine-fueled throughout the day.

Attention to the smallest details of taste is what sets a Cuisinart apart from the rest, such as the use of integrated burr grinders in select Cuisinart coffee makers. By using burrs rather than blades, a burr grinder provides a finer, more uniform grind, with slow oscillation for minimal heat. The result: better retention of the bean's natural flavor and aroma, and a pot of coffee that's wholly suffused with freshness.

Other features to look for in a Cuisinart coffee maker from CoffeeMakers.com:

• A control panel that lets you set grind volume, grinder power, brew strength, and more.
• A double-wall thermal carafe keeps coffee well-insulated, for just-brewed hotness even hours later. The unique lid seals in freshness and flavor.
• A charcoal water filter removes impurities that hold coffee back from the pinnacle of taste - because after all, coffee is 98% water.
• The Cuisinart brew pause feature allows mid-brew sneaking without drips or spills.
