Cuisinart extended the potential of every kitchen, with the introduction of the food processor in 1973. Now with the innovative Elite Collection, Cuisinart continues the pioneering tradition. Loaded with 1000 watts of peak power and innovative options, this ground breaking collection utilizes the exclusive SealTight Advantage system and a revolutionary nested bowl design to usher in the next generation of food processing. With three nested bowls, a reversible shredding disc and adjustable slicing disc (8 different options with 2 discs), a dough blade, and a versatile chopping/mixing blade, there is no limit to what you can do. The SealTight lid and blade assembly lets you utilize the maximum of each bowl's processing capacity without spills or leaks, and ensures easy cleaning and convenient handling. The motor housing base is extra-durable with a streamline design that provides a solid foundation for the demands of food processing. It's versatile, powerful, and user-friendly food processor .

Cuisinart's PowerPrep Plus gives new meaning to the term "cutting edge." This premier kitchen workhorse is streamlined, so the base looks less boxy and the processor more sleek and unobtrusive than ever on the counter. In addition, the rounded shape makes cleaning easier--no more sticky crevices and corners. But it's more than just looks that put the PowerPrep Plus in a league of its own. The 14-cup work bowl has a huge capacity, holding up to 3 pounds of bread or cookie dough or more than 2 pounds of meat, which means less parsing out of batches and more consistent mixing overall.
Also, the wide-mouth feed tube gobbles up whole fruits and vegetables, which means less prep work. The powerful direct-drive induction motor base has touchpad controls with indicator lights and a special alternate speed for bread kneading. This model comes with all the basic accessories, including slicing and shredding discs, a chopping/mixing S-shaped blade, and the fabulous PowerPrep metal dough blade (all are stainless steel), plus a plastic spatula, recipe and instruction books, and a 45-minute how-to video--complete with pizza dough secrets from the Culinary Institute's chef-instructor Bill Briwa. The 2-1/2-foot cord can be wrapped underneath, and all detachable parts are dishwasher-safe. The food processor measures 8 by 11 by 15-1/2 inches and carries a full 10-year motor warranty with a limited three-year warranty on the entire unit.

Cuisinart Programmable, 12-Cup - Thermal Carafe Drip Coffee Maker

The award winning brand, Cuisinart, founded in 1973 by the late Carl Sontheimer, is just not limited to their wonderful food processors but has also become a stand out with their line of drip coffee makers. The DTC-975BKN (black) / DTC-975N (white) 12-Cup Programmable Thermal Coffeemaker is the only 12-cup, double-wall thermal (carafe) drip coffee maker on the market, keeping your delicious coffee hot and fresh for hours.

Features of the Cuisinart DTC-975BKN / DTC-975N:


  • Classic design with stainless accents

  • Fully automatic with 24-hour programmability

  • Coffee can be brewed any time during a 24-hour cycle

  • 12 (5 oz.) cup double-wall insulated stainless steel carafe accented in either black or white

  • Patented Brew Through & Pour Through Lid for easy serving and it keeps air out and coffee fresh and hot for hours

  • Automatic shut off

  • Audible beep sounds when brewing cycle is complete

  • Brew Pause(TM) Feature lets you enjoy a cup of coffee before brewing has finished

  • Easy-to-see water level markings

  • Includes #4 paper-filter starter kit

  • Limited 3-year warranty

  • Dimensions: 16" H x 7.5" W x 11.25" D

  • Weight: 6 pounds


Ratings for this drip coffee maker range between 2.5 out of 5 to 5 out of 5 stars from different users. People have reported the coffee staying warm for up to 6 hours. That means no more warming plates burning your already brewed coffee. It'll taste the same as when it was first brewed all day long with Cuisinart's patented Brew Through & Pour Through Lid which keeps air out. Honestly, we will really never get another drip coffee maker that uses a warming plate because we just hate that smell of burning coffee.

Some of the features that people like the best about the Cuisinart DTC-975BKN / DTC-975N are:


  • Stainless double-wall insulated thermal carafe

  • 12-cup capacity / large capacity

  • Auto shut-off after brew cycle

  • Brews great coffee

  • Impact resistant

  • Keeps coffee warm for hours

Some of the features that people didn't like are:


  • The beeps it makes are annoying

  • The carafe is slow pouring

  • Flimsy construction

  • High profile (16")

  • No slow drip option

  • Hard to read LCD

All in all, we rate the Cuisinart DTC-975BKN(black) / DTC-975N (white) a 4 out of 5 stars. We think it makes great coffee, the thermal carafe keeps your coffee hot and fresh tasting for hours, it's easy to use and as a bonus, it looks great sitting on the counter. For the $90 to $110 price tag, it's a great value and will provide you with pot after pot (or we should say "carafe after carafe") of great coffee.
