Cuisinart Brew Central DCC-1200 Coffee Maker

No So Sure!!

Strengths: makes great coffee

Weakness: Have had maker for 3 yrs and it stopped working , startes with hot plate ,then stops totally, this is the 2nd maker I have had and the same problem both times., the exact problem.

this coffeemaker is too expensive to replace every 3 yrs. I likedt his maker, but i am not going to replace it again. company won't replace it because they say there is no evidence that this has become a problem. Got your money, don't care!

Brews great coffee, but has its flaws.

Strengths: Stylish, makes great coffee.

Weakness: Filling reservoir requires a steady hand. Hot plate shuts off after a pre-determined time and is not adjustable. Electronics shuts off unit while brewing.

When my wife first brought it home and I filled it for the first time, I said "you've got to be kidding!" Filling the reservoir is like putting oil in my car without a funnel. You will most likely spill water until you get the hang of it. And if you are elderly and and/or don't have a steady hand then I can see where you would have a problem. The warmer plate shuts off after approximately 2...

Cuisinart DCC1200 Brew Central coffee maker

Strengths: Easy to use & looks fantastic as well. Coffee comes out piping hot-even when making small quantities. Construction appears durable (eg. buttons do not feel cheap)

Weakness: Need some clearance to be able to open lid to pour water. The beep to tell coffee is ready is almost inaudible.

Best home coffee maker for price! I am trying to save money by making my own coffee at home & this machine comes very, very close to what you would get outside. I am absolutely pleased.

Cuisinart Brew Central

Strengths: Carafe is easy to pour without spilling,self-cleaning feature, attractive design, easy to clean, controls easy to use

Weakness: Area to pour water is too small and awkwardly located, water level readings are only seen if you stand on tiptoes and look inside the water area.

I just got this coffee maker and have already brewed three pots of coffee. The controls are easy to use. The coffee tasted great. The biggest complaint I have is that you cannot see the water level readings from the outside of the coffee maker. I use a Brita water pitcher to pour water from, so now I have to pour from the pitcher into the coffee carafe and then from the carafe into the coffee...

Cuisinart Brew Central DCC-1200 Coffee Maker

Strengths: A good quality product. Easy to program and clean. Great look.

Weakness: Price

It makes great tasting coffee. I like the 1-4 cup feature as well as the programable timer feature. With the self cleaning and water purifier features, this product should last a lot longer than most. Being able to remove the gold filter and filter cradle makes it easy to clean. Although I thought the price was a bit high I think that it was worth it and I would recommend it to others.

Review updat

Strengths: Same as first review

Weakness: Same as first review

We've now had our DCC-1200 for about 2 1/2 years, and it still is as good as the day we first plugged it in. You can read my original review if you scroll down through the older reviews. That review was written after owning the machine for about a year. One thing that has impressed me since writing the original review is the "cleaning cycle" function. It took nearly two years for the coffee maker...

Strengths: Quality product, great look, brews a hot delicious cup of coffee.

Weakness: Grounds run through the gold filter.

This is a wonderful coffeemaker. I love the 4 cup option and also the water purifier feature. Makes a very hot, delicious cup of coffee. I would buy this product again if something ever happened to this one. Also love the feature to set the timer so I can awaken to a fresh cup.

Cuisinart Brew Central DCC-1200 Coffee Maker

Strengths: Coffee is hot, Excellent flavor, easy to operate

Weakness: Charcoal filter holder is easily breakable

We love our coffee maker. The coffee is nice and hot, with excellent flavor. In general we don't love drip style because they tend not to be as hot as perked, but this one is preety close. It is easy to use and clean and the autmatic timer is easy to set. Minor negatives are that the charcoal filter container has a flimsey opening area, which can break. A back up battery to the clock in case the...
