The machine has power but will not brew.

The machine starts brewing and stops after about a minute and the signal to show that it’s done goes off.

Two weeks after I bought it, its program function quit working. I have received a partial refund from Amazon. I will NEVER buy this coffee maker again.

I am royally !#^&@@. This coffee brewer, first of all, arrived without the filter that is supposed to come with it. I contacted Amazon. Amazon sent me $25 or whatever the filter cost was, to “comp” me for this loss. Next thing that happened was, the programming function on the thing stopped working after two weeks. TWO WEEKS! So I phoned Amazon. Amazon said they would refund me for the sum remaining after accounting for the $25. So Amazon, in its corporate weazly way, turned what had been a comp - that is a gift in compensation for a defect - into a “partial refund” for the whole machine, and now has paid me another $62, which, with the $25, adds up to the cost of the brewer. One thing is sure. I’m never again going to order such an item from Amazon.

This is a piece of crap. Twice it has broken under warranty. Each time you pay $10 to pay the service / shipping fee and each time you pay to return the %#*@ thing and that’s $20. Do the math.. it’s a messed up design that’s a money pit.

My coffee maker cuisinart dcc-1100 series, is no longer brewing hot coffee. I take extra care of my coffee maker and I bought one 15+years ago and it works very well to this day. I do all the regular required or recommended maintenance too. What's going on? I really do not want to buy a different more expensive brand.

I got my coffee maker for Christmas this year 2019.
My kitchen was in remodel, so I just unboxed it beginning in Feb 2020. It's now March 3rd and the coffee isn’t hot anymore. 150.00 coffee maker. Unbelievable

Anyone have an issue with the clock suddenly not keeping the correct time? After 4 mo., our clock is broken - it runs fast even after resetting it. So the programmable function doesn’t work! Tried a hard reset but still has the problem. I guess we have to return it. Nuisance in an expensive machine. Bring back the good old original Mr. Coffee! Lasted forever.
P.S. It’s still gaining about 7 minutes in an hour!
