"Great product and great carafe, however it states that carafe fits all Cook's 12 cup coffee makers which is not true. I bought online at a very good price as it stated it would fit my coffee maker. When I received it was too large and I had to return for a whole new coffee maker."

"I bought this COOKS coffeemaker over a year ago. The carafe broke and I was pleased to find that JcP still had it in stock! This is a cute product (I have the yellow) and I am glad I did not need an entirely new coffeemaker. However, it is not that durable. My original carafe broke sitting in the drying rack. I just need to be more careful with this one!!"

"The reusable coffee filter is a money saver. The functions are easy to set , see and use, unlike my old progamable coffee maker. The carafe is replaceable which is a good feature. No matter how careful, accidents happen. I couldn't get a replacement glass carafe for my other coffee pot when it broke! The only negative factor is that this carafe's lid does not come off; thus, you cannot wash the glass carafe in the dishwasher."
Pros Easy to set and use controls
Cons Glass carafe's top doesn't remove to fit carafe in dishwasher

"We decided to try a less expensive coffee maker (it was on a good sale at the time), thinking maybe it would last only two or three years instead of longer... but it simply DIED (after several days of smelling oddly) only 5 months after purchase! Even at the price I bought it at I expect it last longer than that. And it was NOT used every day... only about every other day.
Also, as others have said, it pours poorly and messily as well, unless you pour *really* slowly. Further, it is hard to see how much water is going into the reservoir; one must turn one's head as well as the coffee maker sideways and get down at the level of the window to see. Probably just as well it's been discontinued. I haven't had a chance yet to see if it's still under warranty nor to see if JCP will do the right thing by me, but I will never buy this brand again. (Looking into French Press type makers now.)"
Pros inexpensive, capacity, can remove to pour a cup and put back while brewing
Cons Died after only a few months, can be messy pouring the first few cups.

"I bought the coffee pot for my mother for christmas. I ordered online so didnt get to see what it looked like. When she opened it, I thought it looked cheap, almost fake looking like what a child's toy coffee maker. Well she was just happy cause it was red.. On the second day of use the hot plate cracked right in the middle so im very disapointed and plan on taking it back."

Cons everything else

"I bought the Cook's CoffeeMaker and then found out it was being discontinued and the pot that comes with it is the only one that fits it. So, I felt I had to order the pot in case the original one got broke. If it had gotten broken now or in the near future, I would not be able to buy another pot for it due to it being discontinued. That was a disadvantage to buying the Cook CoffeeMaker. Otherwise, I am pleased with the product."
Pros The shipping was very quick & as ordered.
Cons The product is being discontinued.

"This is the worst coffeemaker I have ever owned. Takes forever to brew. Sometimes it is hot sometimes it is not. Pot drips all over when you go to pour. I thought it would be a good quality since it is JCP's own brand. But I am very disappointed. Would never recommend this to anyone."

"I've been a loyal JCP customer for at least 8-9 years and Cook's brand is the only thing I've ever had a problem with. I'll never buy Cooks brand again. First I had a microwave that worked for about 4 months then quit. JCP was great though and it was still under warranty so they easily replaced it. We've had the new one for almost a year and it's doing ok. Then I purchased a Cook's food processor. It worked on pulse only 3 times at about 4-5 seconds each pulse then quit completely. JCP again was awesome and gave me my money back because there were no more in stock. So now I figure 3rd times the charm and I am done with this brand. The brand is not consistent in quality and workmanship. JCP gets kudos galore for their awesome service!"
Pros looks nice
Cons doesn't work

Leaking
Posted December 18, 2010
If you don't place the carafe in straight it will leak because the brew button will not line up properly. I found this out when it leaked all over my countertop. I have had mine for at least 3 years and I have the Cooks Toaster too and have never had a problem with it at all. works great !!

About the leaking...
Posted December 6, 2010
The first time we used it, we had a problem with the leaking as well. However, we found that we incorrectly secured the piece that holds the filter, which is what caused the leaking. It has a little handle that has to folded down and snapped into place. We thought we had it set up correctly but as it turns out, we didn't. Next time we made sure that it was correctly inserted and there have been no problems since. Just a solid coffee maker. I can't say if this is the same problem MissLynn had, but it's possible.
