Cuisinart DCC-1200 Brew Central 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker, Black and Silver Review

Love love love this product. Need a replacement for a 10 year old Braun that has finally succumbed to daily use. This old model fits under our cupboard upside down. I've always kept it open until it dries. You can't do that with newer models, so the wooden spoon photo keeps it open. (I'm a fan of mold and odor prevention.) Back to product. Very easy to program, makes delicious coffee. 12 cups are convenient for guests. Now we brew 3 cups a day. Special features are the loop on the filter basket

Not only does this product not work, but customer service needs to be fixed. I bought this about a year ago and the self cleaning worked and it stopped brewing. I followed the self-cleaning instructions and it started up again and stopped brewing. I replaced it myself for over 80.00. Well I've had this model since September and it started up again two months ago. This time I contacted support and they gave me specific self cleaning instructions and said I had to do it again even though I had…

And it didn't force me to turn the carafe completely upside down to pour the rest of the coffee into the cup. The lid of the Cuisinart carafe is made of cheap plastic and,

Bought this coffee machine for the second time. The first lasted about six months before the programmable feature stopped working, leaving us unable to wake up with a cup of coffee. Did it by hand every morning for 3-4 years. We recently decided that we wanted to bring this feature back. I bought this device in April 2017 and after a few weeks I noticed that there was a lot of coffee grounds in the coffee cup/pot. We noticed that the basket of soil looked like it had been ripped into pieces…

It makes good hot coffee, I don't have a thermometer to measure it but it seems to reach and maintain the right brewing temperature quickly. I also like the #4 cone filter for its better extraction, especially if you're not making full pots like I do 1/2 - 3/4 pots most of the time. I'm not a fan of a lot of frills, I just like the auto-off switch. Cons - IMHO there are some design compromises that I don't like. one).
