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.

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

Some of the features that people didn't like are:
- The beeps it makes are annoying

- 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.
