Cuisinart DCC-1200P1 Brew Central 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Coffee Maker, Carafe, Brushed Chrome

With enough money in your bank account, you should be able to buy perfection in the form of a watch or a car or a purse that is damn near perfect. Not is the case with coffeemakers. I have spent weeks researching on Amazon and YouTube only to find out that each model at every price point falls short. It became very annoying to find that every machine I researched experienced one ore more of the following issues: settings too complicated to master, coffee takes too long to brew, coffee comes out of machine not that hot, coffee comes out of the machine bitter tasting, steam from machine smells like melting plastic, machine leaks while brewing, machine impossible to clean, carafe does not pour without spilling, machine stops working in a month and on and on and on. The more I researched coffee makers, the more pissed off I became. We have developed technology so that cars can drive themselves, but so many brands offer coffee makers incapable of doing what people have done manually for centuries. Even more interesting, those who bought more expensive machines wrote even more scathing reviews because their machines let them down equally. Reviews are important to me, and this coffee maker caught my attention because it has 4.6 STARS. It is not the most aesthetically pleasing small appliance in our kitchen, BUT it makes smooth, good tasting, hot coffee every morning. Coffee brews quickly and stays hot in the pot for hours. It is easy to figure out, simple to program, and easy to clean. I can't speak to reliability, but it seems to be well made and we've had no issues smelling burning or melting plastic while it's brewing. If it keeps working this well for the next couple months, I am going to buy a second one to keep in the closet just in case Kitchen Aid discontinues the one coffee maker on the market that actually works well. Super bowls have been won on the premise that true greatness comes from a relentless focus on and mastery of the simple, foundational elements of any task, making success an inevitable outcome of disciplined repetition. Why does this way of thinking has not been applied to design of coffee makers, I will never understand!!!

十数年前に買った前身モデルが壊れて買い替えました、。これからまた長いお付き合いです。日本製と違って武骨なところが良いです。

This is about my third Cuisinart coffee pot in this style. I love the look and for sure it holds up to years of daily use. It brews a great cup of coffee and well worth the cost. I would highly recommend. Interesting side note I see this coffee pot in the kitchens of many over the years on TV

Me prepara buen café y funciona tal como se describe, buena compra, satisfecho

Bought this to replace our 10 year old Cuisinart coffee maker which was still working but getting old and slow. This is a great little machine, easy to use and fast (under 10 minutes to brew 12 cups). This is our third Cuisinart and we wouldn't use any other brand!
