Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: Drop-dead looks, sturdy build
Cons: Poor design: mediocre coffee, difficult water filling, lid drips water onto counter, machine, and cord!

I bought this machine after reading the overwhelming positive reviews here on Epinions and being completely taken by its retro/industrial appearance. Looks alone could sell this machine, but performance is what ultimately decides if it's a keeper - and ...

Pros: Stylish, durable, makes good coffee. Good feature set.
Cons: Water filling. Clock visibility.

I bought this maker primarily cause it fit in the brushed aluminum look of my kitchen. The pot makes ...

Pros: Selectable auto off Loaded with features Great coffee
Cons: Only that I had to look all day to find a store that had one

I based my purchase on the reviews in this site. While there were a couple of bad reports I reasoned that the vast majority of favorable reviews must be correct. I was right. This machine is great. Jam packed with features, some of which I hadn't thought...

Pros: Good style and look, strong permanent plastic housing, good easy controls, not bulky
Cons: Problem with removal of carafe cover

Have not purchased a coffee maker for some time now, because the least expensive ones that were 20 to 40 dollars were continuously breaking. Plastic parts let water and grinds overflow and coffee heaters were weakening and coffee came out cool. So for ...

Pros: Consistent, perfect temperature, easy to use, stylish
Cons: Will overflow if you don't put the lid on the carafe.

I spend a lot of money on my coffee so I expect my coffee maker to heat water to the correct temperature and the heating plate to maintain that temperature. I had a house fire and the temporary accomidations people pushed me into an apartment with a ...

Pros: Great coffee; easy to set up and clean; looks great
Cons: Water guage inside the machine is very difficult to read.

This model comes in different finishes, including stainless steel, black matte metal, etc. I chose the black, since the stainless model in the store even showed fingerprints, so beware. I was reluctant to spend a good amount on another coffee maker ...

Pros: Well built and visually appealing.
Cons: Makes a terrible cup of coffee.

My Krups of five years started to leak and needed to be replaced. I started with the Delonghi 24/7 which was a complete piece of garbage. Grounds got stuck everywhere possible and it simply didn't work. My wife convinced me that a thermal carafe was ...

Pros: Automatic turnoff. Coffee ready indicator. Great coffee. Smart machine
Cons: Small water opening

This thing is just smart. It makes great coffee. Low on bells and whistles but has a few that simply make a lot of sense on a day to day basis. It automatically shuts off
after several hours. It has a coffee ready indicator. It never spills a...

Pros: Fast Brew, Good Coffee, Easy Pour Carafe, Keeps Coffee HOT
Cons: Price a Little High but great warranty. No Level Indicator Outside. Fill Area Too Small

I've had plenty of coffee makers in my lifetime but, I've never spent this much money on one..(and I only spent $80. on this one online-FREE Shipping). I did the research, read tons of reviews, and decided on the DCC-1200. I didn't really need a 12-Cup ...

Pros: Good looking, great coffee (no harshness)
Cons: Expensive, fingerprint alert!, too smooth?

I purchased this brewer after seeing the great reviews on epinions.com. The coffee maker operates exactly as advertised. It is very easy to use. The features, such as automatic (timed) brew, are easily understood. The owner's manual is not a necessity....

Pros: Easy to use controls, carafe, adjustable heat setting, as nice looking as it is working.
Cons: Water down back of machine when opening top lid, don't like flat lid on carafe.

I was in the market for a new coffee maker after the carafe for our last maker broke. I know, why didn't I get a replacement carafe? Basically the $25 replacement cost. I used this excuse to research on epinions for a better make/model. This ...

Pros: Nice set of controls for brewing, maintaining heat and cleaning reminder.
Cons: None.

Have had my Cusinart DCC-1200 for about two months now, replacing my 10-year-old (and legendary) Mr. Coffee Accel. Read all the reviews looking for recommendations and finally settled on this one as a refurbished product from i-kitchens for $50 (most I ...

Pros: Great Coffee, easy to clean and feature full
Cons: Water fill is a little hard to get to.

After years of experimenting with your typical off-the-shelf coffee makers I have finally found a coffee maker that's a keeper. I had searched high and low and finally stumbled on the Cuisinart DCC-1200. Having been burned many times with the claims ...

Pros: Durable, easy to set up, doesn't scald,timer, makes a nice cup of coffee.
Cons: I think only the beeping sound.

We have always owned the cheapest coffee makers we could get. Yet we drink a fare amount of coffee. So when our last coffee maker died, we decided to upgrade to one a bit more expensive and see if it really made a difference. We wanted one that brewed 12 ...

Pros: Beautiful design, great coffee, very functional
Cons: A big mess occurs if you put in too many coffee grounds

It's hard to find a truly good coffeemaker that also looks great, but I believe this Cuisinart DCC-1 ...
