The Cuisinart SS-16 12-Cup Coffee Maker with Single-Serve Brewer is the coffee station for households that can't agree on one morning routine. It brews a complete 12-cup glass carafe (approx. 5 oz per serving) or a single 4-12 oz cup using any brand of single-cup pod, plus a reusable HomeBarista filter cup for fresh ground coffee. With Extreme Brew technology, a full pot is ready up to 25% faster than standard Cuisinart 12-cup coffeemakers. The 42 oz removable water reservoir, brew strength control, and over-ice setting make this machine equally at home for a busy weekday or a slow weekend brunch.
Cuisinart SS-16 Coffee Maker: Hot, Iced, Carafe, or Single-Serve
This Cuisinart SS-16 coffee maker offers five single-serve sizes—4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 oz—so you can use your favorite mug or travel tumbler. The carafe mode includes a charcoal water filter and a Brew Pause feature that lets you pour a cup before the cycle ends. For iced coffee, simply select the Over Ice strength setting and brew hot coffee directly over ice for a refreshing, full-flavored glass.
How to Descale the Cuisinart SS-16
Regular descaling keeps your Cuisinart SS-16 brewing at its best. Fill the reservoir with a descaling solution diluted to the manufacturer's instructions, run the self-clean cycle, then rinse with fresh water. Check your manual for frequency—most homes need descaling every 1–3 months depending on water hardness.
The programmable controls also include a 24-hour brew start, ready alert, and auto-off, so the coffee maker fits your schedule instead of the other way around.
