Product Description: The pebbly matte finish and industrial switches give this coffemaker a sophisticated and serious appearance. You would not expect anything less than a great cup of coffee from such a machine. And indeed this coffeemaker delivers. A filter cleans your water, removing calcium and chlorine impurities, because you can't have great coffee without great water. You can sneak a cup, or you can program this appliance to have your brew ready and waiting at the time you specify. It's got a clock, and an indicator that tells you when it's time to decalcify. Flavorful coffee awaits, whether you're making one cup or twelve.

Rating: - Keeps getting clogged
We have purchased this coffee maker three times now. The first time it clogged it was our fault because someone over filled the coffee with very fine grounds and the mess was just too big to clean up. The second time it clogged was just a few months after we had purchased our second machine. This time we returned it thinking there was a problem with the machine. We are now tossing out our third machine. This device does make a good cup of coffee, however, it's design seems flawed. We followed all cleaning/care instructions and were careful about not using fine grounds and the darn thing still ... Read More
Rating: - Very Good Coffeemaker
I just recently purchased the model. I therefore can't attest to its longevity/reliability. It appears to be at the top of what I have had or is out there but I have not owned. All coffeemakers seem to have flaws but most can be overcomed. This makes excellent coffee and that is what matters. Who cares about the cup thingy in the water container- you fill the pot and it tells you the number of cups. The water holder seems no worst others but the fact that the pot pours without spilling makes the small opening a no issue. I don't use most features as I prefer making my coffee when I want a cup. I never ... Read More
Rating: - Cuisinart DCC-1200, fairly typical for Cuisinart
Our Cuisinart DCC-1200 lasted less that 2 years. Like many Cuisinart products, it's pretty badly underdesigned. The water load is very narrow and back right--tough for lefties and easy to spill over even for righties. The parts are expensive--especially that charcoal filter you have to replace every 2 months. Don't try brewing without it--even with the filter in place, ONE piece of coffee grounds in the heating plenum below the water tank and you might as well throw it all away. The assembly is done with rivets instead of screws so there is no way to get at the lower plenum to clean it properly--again, ... Read More
Rating: - Leaks water all over the counter
I have had this product for about a year. About 6 months ago it started leaking water out of the bottom of the coffee maker. My wife loves the way it looks. It makes excellent coffee. I especially like the adjustable temperature control on the burner. However, I would not recommend buying this machine because of the water leaking problem.
Rating: - Love it. One note of caution/recommendation....
This cofee-maker has served me well; but before buying it I read lots of comments regarding condensation from the lid splashing all over the counter when you flip the lid to dump the grinds. This happens when you don't vent the condensation from the inner compartment. To prevent that from happening-when your coffee is done brewing and you hear the beep letting you know it's done; lift the lid only about 2 inches and let go; this releases the lid on a hatch and will hold the lid slightly to allow the condensation to run down the underside of the lid and into the slope that leads back into the reservoir, preventing ...
