What we like about Cuisinart DCC-5570

  • A removable tank makes filling it at the sink easy.
  • The built-in water filter lets you use plain tap water.
  • The 1100 W heater gets the brew going quickly.
  • Aroma strength control lets you pick a bolder or lighter cup.
  • The timer lets you set the brew ahead of time.
  • At 14.4 cm deep it fits well against a wall.

What we don't like about Cuisinart DCC-5570

  • Five cups is small, so a group needs a second brew.
  • At 25.8 cm wide it takes up more room side to side on the counter.
  • The parts cannot go in the dishwasher.
  • The permanent filter needs rinsing after use.
  • There is no cleaning reminder, so you keep track of upkeep yourself.

Verdict

The main limit is five cups, so the Cuisinart DCC-5570 suits one or two people rather than a full table. It has a removable 1.2 L tank that you can fill at the sink, and a water filtration system. The 1100 W heater gets the brew going quickly, and there is an aroma strength control and a timer. It is compact at 14.4 cm deep, though it is 25.8 cm wide, so check the spot on your counter. The filter is permanent, so there is no paper to buy, but it needs rinsing. It suits a couple or a single cook who wants a stainless steel machine in silver that fits a small kitchen. The non-slip base keeps it steady on the counter. It is easy to lift at 1.8 kg.
