What Makes This Coffee Maker Special?

There are three important factors to consider when shopping for a coffee maker: appearance, functionality, and ease of use. These three elements may mean something slightly different to each individual, so keep in mind what is most important to you. 

After reviewing the Cuisinart SS15, here were the benefits that most stuck out to us: 

  • Fresh Tasting Brews. Our coffee was fresh, clean, and flavorful. This is partly due to the self-clean technology incorporated within it that eliminates toxins or leftover sediment.
  • Fully programmable. So much thought went into this appliance. It’s super convenient, allowing users to select their brew’s strength, adjust temperatures, and our favorite feature, schedule brews. 
  • Different Cup Sizes. You can create as little as one cup of joe or as much as a full 12-cup carafe. The single-serve option offers sizes of 6, 8, or 10-ounce brews.

Why Should I Buy This Coffee Maker?

This Cuisinart appliance is packed with so many neat features like the 24-hour programmability, self-clean function, or temperature control that we don’t even mind the relatively high price tag.

This unit is compatible with K-pods or ground coffee. It comes with a HomeBarista Reusable Filter Cup that allows you to enjoy your favorite coffee grounds. It’s also great for people who don’t want to spend so much money on pods or paper filters.

Our Verdict

The Cuisinart Coffee Center SS-15 makes great batches of coffee whether you’re a household as little as two or as big as ten. Simply program the brew size, and you’re set to go. If you prefer ground coffee over K-Cups, you’ll particularly enjoy the reusable filter cup. This feature will also save you money long-term on pods or paper filters. 

 

And finally, we can’t get over the technology this appliance was designed with. It’s such a smart device that fits perfectly within any kitchen. Whether you’re new to the world of coffee or a professional barista, there’s a lot to love about this coffee maker.
