Cord storage Brand Story By Cuisinart

Review: worth every penny - Nice unit, brews super hot and pretty easy to use and set up. Good easy directions and well packaged. Brews a great cup of coffee. Always buy the cheap coffee makers, glad I stepped it up for this one.
Review: 24+ years on the 1st one of these! - This coffee maker replaces the same model that I purchased and used daily for over 24 years! I'm sure of the date (2001) because we had just moved when I got it. I even checked my memory by calling Cuisinart, and they said this model came out in 2000. I think I got it because Consumer Reports recommended it. Anyway after it died, I started looking for a replacement that addressed the only thing I don't like about it - no outside water gauge. After trying and returning a different brand, I'm back to this one: Pros - (1) makes good coffee; (2) adjustable temp heater plate - I use cream so want my coffee piping hot; (3) 1-4 cup setting... again to have hot enough coffee; (4) programmable (5) great carafe -- doesn't spill when pouring, and the lid can come all the way off, not just hinged. It's on there securely which it has to be for spill free pouring, but it's not hard to pop off when you want to clean the pot. And sturdy!! Can't tell you how many times I've accidentally smacked it against a granite countertop without breaking it in all those years. Not recommending, just sayin'! (6) Cord length = 26.5". Short enough so it tucks behind the machine and isn't annoyingly all over your countertop, and long enough that you can pull the coffee maker out free from under your upper cabinets when brewing, so steam doesn't hit them. Cons: (1) In 25 years, why oh why hasn't Cuisinart put a water gauge on the outside for those times you need to remember how much you put in? This was the main annoyance that had me looking elsewhere. The one inside is virtually impossible to read unless you have in 12 cups. It's a ridiculous water gauge. (2) The "done" beeps are louder than on my old one. I noticed the first day, and haven't noticed it since. I guess I don't find it as horrific as some other reviewers have mentioned, but it was fine at the volume it used to be. Unless your situation is sensitive, the volume is likely not a deal breaker. Pro or Con? Depends on your point of view: The clock window is tiny and not backlit. I personally don't want one more electronic thing with a bright display on it in my kitchen and I don't use it as a kitchen clock so I couldn't care less. However if you change programmable settings often or otherwise need to read the clock, you'll need good lighting and good eyes. I've read the reviews of others who got lemons that didn't last -- if this one lasts even half as long as my first one I'll be happy. If not, I'll update my review... p.s.: Have not had a problem with the water height marks wearing off the carafe because I never put in the dishwasher, which will eventually take marks like that off anything. Given the lack of an exterior water reservoir guide, that may be important to your choice.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has the electrical problem been solved?**
A: Apparently not. I've had probably 5 of this model over the years. Never had an electrical problem until the one before this one. I smelled something burning and saw a spark. Threw it out and replaced it with the same model 2 years ago, just about the time Covid hit. It's been OK until this week when the toggle wouldn't turn it on. I switched it to another outlet and it worked. Now it is working again in the original location. But I don't trust it for safety reasons and am in the process of trying to find one that makes as good a cup of coffee and is easy to use. Sometimes we're fooled by the fancy brands and we're surprised when they don't work and the company doesn't stand behind the product. These electronics are all made in the same place, probably the same factory by the same people. So the $25 Hamilton Beach is likely just as good as the $100 Cuisinart. Just doesn't look as nice sitting on the counter.

**Q: what kind of paper filter does it use?**
A: It uses a number 4 paper.  Purchased from your local grocery store, any brand is acceptable.  Simply place inside the gold filter basket.

**Q: it is not brewing all the water, only very small amounts are getting into the carafe.**
A: Ours was gurgling and making loads of steam too. My husband ran water only thru it several times..apparently the maker's lid and also the pot's lid were plugged up..now it runs again. I have replaced the tubes as it had started leaking..fixed that..BUT I have an older model with a knob instead of a toggle switch. We have pristine well water so don't use the filter that is down inside the appliance. I did order a new one anyway cuz who knows how long this will last..it is 15 years old and getting a knob only brewer is becoming hard. Touch pad ones die sooner from what I have read. Manufacturers ought to be fined for making cheap throw away products!! Good luck!

**Q: My coffee maker is brand new but the coffee has a mildew taste. How can I fix this?**
A: Wow!  Never heard of this.  First suggestion:  Clean the pot with water and vinegar.  Experts disagree on the ratio of water and vinegar.  Some say equal parts.  Some encourage a 2 or 3:1 ratio; two to three parts water to one part vinegar.  Whatever ratio you decide to use, shut the pot off partway through the cycle for about 30 minutes and let the solution set.  After the cycle is complete, run another cycle of water.  Hopefully this will remove any taste in the tubes or other parts of the coffee pot.  Also note your water supply.  Any changes there?  Consider your coffee.  Is this a new can of coffee?  If, after cleaning, you are still having problems, call Cuisinart.  They were very helpful when we had a problem with our first machine.  Wishing you the best in resolving this problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plusses and Minuses
*by E***N on July 18, 2005*

I've had the Cuisinart DCC-1200 for about a week now. I was hesitant to spend so much on a coffee maker but I'm happy to report it's well worth it. Sure, you can get other brands of coffee makers for under $25 if economy is the most important feature, but I've had those machines and I decided that, this time, a good cup of coffee was most important for me. This unit makes the best coffee I've had in a home or office machine and better than most coffee I've had in restaurants. This coffee tastes smooooooth! I suspect the charcoal water filter is the reason for that. I also like the "shower head" design of the water spout. The water actually runs up a track onto the underside of the lid and is sprinkled over the ground coffee like a rain shower. It's an attractive unit but it also looks like a serious coffee maker. This unit is no toy. It looks and feels solid. The carafe has a good solid feel and balance. The plastic parts (like the plastic carafe lid and handle) feel like good heavyweight plastic and are well molded. It's not the lightweight crappy plastic that cracks and discolors easily in the cheap coffee makers. I like the 5 beeps when the coffee is ready. Now I can leave the kitchen and go clean or whatever and I don't have to keep running back to see if I can get a cup yet. I can hear the beeps. But if I really can't wait and want a cup in mid-brew, I can just remove the pot and pour a cup - you've got a full 30 seconds to reinsert the pot, before you risk an overflowing filter. I like the permanent gold-tone filter too. I always thought paper filters were a pain. They'd fold over sometimes and there'd be grounds in my coffee. But you can use paper filters in this machine if you want to. I just prefer the convenience of the gold-tone filter (top rack machine washable too). It has an indicator light for cleaning -- it says it's "self-cleaning" but really it's just a light telling you when you need to pour in a pot of water/vinegar and run it through to decalcify the unit. (I never thought to do that with my other units. Probably another reason my coffee wasn't as good as I wanted it to be.) The low-medium-high setting on the hot plate is pretty nice too. And the auto-shutoff feature is great. I don't have to worry about forgetting to turn the machine off. The instruction booklet is very good and very thorough. Comes with a parts reordering form too. What don't I like about this machine? It requires maintenance in that you have to change the charcoal filters. But actually I don't mind since I think they are the reason the coffee tastes so smooth, and they are very easy to change and not expensive [...] Also, the area in the top of the machine where you pour in the water is narrow but again this is just a minor inconvenience. Just have to pour a little carefully. So really it's almost all positives with a couple of very minor negatives. I highly recommend this coffee maker.
