Reviews
“Brew Central DCC-1200, Good, Hot Coffee: First I'd like to say that these review sites really kill me. Invariably, you have to wade through countless trivial comments like, "I had to turn the spool wheel too many times before I could change the string on my string trimmer" or, here's a classic, "the stereo I bought is just too loud and I have to keep the volume at the number 5 setting all the time." (trust me, this is from an actual review). Well, you'll be happy to know…”
“Good coffee maker: This is the third one of this model I've had. They last around 15-18 years. I think for the price, that's not a bad investment. At home we make one pot of coffee seven days week. Its pretty simple, it makes coffee. No extras. Has a auto on timer, coffee is ready when I get up in the morning for work. Amazon made it easy, it's at the front door in just a Day or two. Thank you.Mark GarrettRead moreRead less”
“Good Buy: Easy to use, Not noisy, brews very fast, no mess, not too big which is good for counter space. Great cup of coffee.Read moreRead less”
“Cuisinart DCC-1200P1 is a reliable coffeemaker: Cuisinart DCC-1200P1 12 cup programmable coffeemaker produces decent coffee which the base helps to keep hot.The carafe does not leak & it pours easily from the spout. I had tried the Bunn, recommended by Consumer Reports, but the machine required excessive coffee relative to water to make a standard strength 6 ozs cup of coffee. I returned the Bunn. Cuisinart's 12 cup machine is simpler to use than the Bunn for those who want…”
“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…”
“Plusses and Minuses: 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…”
“Good value and great coffee: Really happy with this coffee maker. It makes a good cup of coffee and it has a very simple clean type of operation and I like the retro switch. You know it’s on or you know it’s off. I also like the adjustable warming I like my coffee very hot so to keep it at the scolding temperature I prefer makes me happy.Read moreRead less”
“ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD CAN'T BUY A BETTER COFFEEMAKER: 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:…”
