Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: Looks great, works great, very easy to program.
Cons: Hard to see the water level. Filter basket doesn't stand up by itself.

I absolutely love this coffee maker! I think the taste of the coffee mostly depends upon what you put in it, but if you start out with the right beans/grind/amount, you will have a PERFECT cup of coffee. And all from something which looks great on the...

Pros: A quality unit that produces superior coffee in a efficient manner.
Cons: Clock is not illuminated, but this is being very picky

This is an outstanding coffee maker! We are completely happy with this purchase. I only wish we would have gotten it sooner, and we nearly did. For nearly two decades we were proponents of Black & Decker's Spacemaker coffee makers. Eighteen months back ...

Pros: Looks good, 3-temp warming, tastes great, built-in filter, no-spill pouring
Cons: small opening for filling

I bought this refurbished for $35, but I had almost bought it a few times at full price at the store ...

Pros: Makes a good cup when working
Cons: 1 year life expectancy

I registered for this machine on my wedding registry. I received it as a shower gift and I was excited because it is a higher end coffee maker. Unfortunately higher price did not mean quality.. The machine worked great for the first year and I was ...

Pros: Good appearance, easy to clean, functional.
Cons: Not hot enough coffee, fill takes some skill.

All coffee makers are a compromise. This one gets it right for the most part... The water fill is not convenient. It takes a knack and a handy filling aid, and the whole top needs room to hinge up & back, but the top area is designed more for the ...

Pros: easy,no drips,hot,Reliable!
Cons: none I can think of after 3 yrs using it

I have this one for about 3 years and love it..works just perfect... I did not have such luck with a more expensive Krups ..that one died after 9 mos. So, I bought this one and just love it..the programming works great...good hot coffee..I recommend ...

Pros: Style, This product looked great in our granite and stainless steel kitchen.
Cons: Makes lousy coffee.

I purchased this in September and by December it had been replaced. I tried to like the coffee coming out but finally had to give in to the retirement and loss of $100. The product looks great and if you are not a coffee connoisseur and don't...

Pros: -piping hot -adjustable temperature -looks classy
Cons: -complicated carafe lid -display is not back lit -does not show remaining time

The box says it's "the next generation of coffee makers". Not quite. . . Big gripe # 1 You know you're in trouble when you have problems figuring out something as basic as a carafe lid. When I first took it out of the box, I couldn't figure out how ...

Pros: Large carafe, burner temperature adjustments, makes a nice pot of coffee
Cons: It doesn't cook our breakfast (no cons so far!)

First, I think one of the best features is the temperature adjustments for the burner - I like to keep the temperature low because the coffee does not taste burned up after 10 minutes. We have enjoyed this stylish coffeemaker for a year now with no ...

Pros: Fantastic coffee!
Cons: Some might find it on the pricey side.

I know my coffee, and I know that the Cuisinart Brew Central is a great coffee maker. The unit is very easy to use, and makes a fantastic cup of coffee. What helps is the built in water filter feature that filters out any impurities in the water you ...

Pros: It looks nice
Cons: Makes terrible coffee, using double the normal amount of grounds. Awkward to fill and clean

I can't believe these rave reviews! I have never been moved to write one of these before, but I loathe this machine so much I can't resist it. First, the water reservoir is way at the back on top; it's very narrow and there is no external water lever ...

Pros: great coffee, flexible programming
Cons: difficult water reservoir, a little messy to use

A good cup of coffee is the second best way to wake up in the morning. This coffee maker has positives and negatives, but overall after several months i do love the coffee it makes. The positives first. Choosing whole or ground beans is great. Takes a ...

Pros: Easy to use, makes hot coffee, stylish.
Cons: Reservoir and carafe lid design, no permanent filter included.

Our loyal Braun's hotplate was petering out and not keeping the coffee hot enough, so our search began for a new coffee maker. After selecting a Black & Decker, then returning two of them for defects out of the box, we studied all the reviews ...

Pros: Makes an excellent coffee.
Cons: Water reservoir can be hard to read.

Unpacking the Cuisinart DCC-1200w 12-cup coffee maker my immediate impression was good. I chose the model in 'Black Chrome' which immediately lends a more sophisticated edge to a machine that is otherwise quite understated (boxy) in design. Before ...

Pros: Decent cup of coffee Good feature set 3 year warranty
Cons: Awkward design, Drips when open, low water temp without 1-4 cup feature.

UPDATE: After writing the review below I realized how many niggling problems this design has and decided to return it to get something different - something with fewer design issues. ------------------------------ ------ Ergonomically, this thing isn't...
