Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Coffeemaker Reviews
We are now tossing out our third machine. This time we returned it thinking there was a problem with the machine. The first time it clogged it was our fault because someone over filled the coffee with very fine grounds and the mess was just too big to clean up. Wont be buying a forth machine. We followed all cleaning/care instructions and were careful about not using fine grounds and the darn thing still clogged.
One more thing, all three never allowed us to take the pot out before the brewing process was complete.always dripped. We have purchased this coffee maker three times now. This device does make a good cup of coffee, however, it's design seems flawed. UGH. This time, btw, it clogged after a recent clean. Worked fine, then I cleaned it and now it just makes lots of noise and steam.
The second time it clogged was just a few months after we had purchased our second machine.
I therefore can't attest to its longevity/reliability. Just don't worry about some of the minor complaints because other coffeemakers do not even come close to this one. Who cares about the cup thingy in the water container- you fill the pot and it tells you the number of cups. I never set the auto brew as I don't trust most electrical appliances that might cause a fire. All coffeemakers seem to have flaws but most can be overcomed.
I just recently purchased the model. This makes excellent coffee and that is what matters. I don't use most features as I prefer making my coffee when I want a cup. This is surely the best coffeemaker, for the money, on the market. The water holder seems no worst others but the fact that the pot pours without spilling makes the small opening a no issue.
It appears to be at the top of what I have had or is out there but I have not owned.
It's a French hunk of junk if you ask me. I'll not buy Cuisinart again. The water load is very narrow and back righttough for lefties and easy to spill over even for righties. Our Cuisinart DCC-1200 lasted less that 2 years. The parts are expensiveespecially that charcoal filter you have to replace every 2 months.
My $20 Mr Coffee brewed great coffee for almost 10 years before it died. Don't try brewing without iteven with the filter in place, ONE piece of coffee grounds in the heating plenum below the water tank and you might as well throw it all away. The assembly is done with rivets instead of screws so there is no way to get at the lower plenum to clean it properlyagain, fairly typical Cuisinart planned obsolesence design. Like many Cuisinart products, it's pretty badly underdesigned.
I have had this product for about a year. However, I would not recommend buying this machine because of the water leaking problem. I especially like the adjustable temperature control on the burner. My wife loves the way it looks. It makes excellent coffee. About 6 months ago it started leaking water out of the bottom of the coffee maker.
This cofee-maker has served me well; but before buying it I read lots of comments regarding condensation from the lid splashing all over the counter when you flip the lid to dump the grinds. I've been trying to figure out how the lid knows when to close; I'll just assume it's done using a little bit of magic, so as to prevent any kind of blow to my ego. Then, and don't ask me how this happens, the lid releases all on it's own. To prevent that from happening-when your coffee is done brewing and you hear the beep letting you know it's done; lift the lid only about 2 inches and let go; this releases the lid on a hatch and will hold the lid slightly to allow the condensation to run down the underside of the lid and into the slope that leads back into the reservoir, preventing it from getting everywhere. This happens when you don't vent the condensation from the inner compartment.
