This coffee maker is great. It drip brews it's coffee in about 6 minutes, a more than adequate time to alllow the grounds to release their proper flavor. The water also gets to the proper temp (205 deg Fahrenheit). Well worth the price
We were in need of a new coffee brewer and wanted to return to Cuisinart brand. This machine is great. Only flaw is the dark interior where the water goes. The coffee is delicious and stays hotter than our old machine.
Also haven't figured out how to keep the hot plate on for more than the 1st hour from brewing without having to flip the switch to on and start the brew cycle (dry). We have hard water and drink only purified or distilled water, but with the built in water filter in the Cuisinart DCC 1200, we are able to use tap water to make delicious coffee with no odd aftertaste.
Based on the reviews of this product, I went with the DCC 1200. My old coffeepot went kaput, and being a regular coffee drinker, could not go long without a fresh brewed cup for too long.
After brewing my first cup, I must say it is some of the best coffee I have had (and I am a Starbucks and local coffee house regular). The item arrived quickly, w/in 3-4 days w/free supersavor shipping.
The packaging/ instructions were easy & straightforward with helpful photos and diagrams. The only negative is that the clock is not backlit (not a big deal, but would have been a nice feature).
So far, it is an overall great product.
Did a lot of research before i purchase this, it's hard to find the perfect coffeemaker. i like that is has thermal control on the hot plate, could be a little hotter on middle setting. only have had for a little while, so far so good. Was a good purchase for the price at amazon with rebate.
I did this and now it's worse than ever. Sometimes it doesn't even finish the brew cycle before it shuts itself off.I contacted customer service but they said they can only do a warranty replacement one time.
This pot lasted about 2 years, which I thought was acceptable since we always have a pot of coffee going at our house. When it finally died, I bought another one, but after about 7 months, the hot plate burned out.
I purchased the first one of the DCC-1200 coffeemaker about 3 years ago. It shuts itself off mysteriously anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours later.
I contacted Cuisinart Customer Service and they sent me a new pot under the warranty. Now after about 7 months again, the replacement pot is not working properly.
She suggested that I unplug the pot for 5 minutes to see if the timer would reset. I'm now on a search for a more reliable coffee maker.
