Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: Great features: water filter, auto-brew, auto-off, gold filter, great look
Cons: Bad, WEAK COFFEE. Awkward to put water into.

The DCC-1200 is the Cuisinart's flagship coffee machine. It has great features like water filtration, a clock, auto-brew and auto-off settings, a gold filter, special settings to ensure that smaller batches (1-4 cups) of coffee are the same...

Pros: Hot hot cup of coffee, nice retro/industrial look, self cleaning, 3 yr warranty
Cons: pricey, small reservoir opening, pricey carbon filters

Just got this machine. After my good old 10 yr old Braun started sparking. Initially couldn't justify paying for a pricey coffee maker. Isn't a coffee maker just something that heats up water and then passes it thru a filter. Why would one pay $100 ...

Pros: This is our all time favorite coffee maker. It fulfills all our needs.
Cons: It has no cons for me.

We love the Cuisinart DCC-1200. It brews an excellent tasting cup of coffee and it keeps it hot. It has an automatic turn on and it shuts off automatically with a programmable mode from 1 to 4 hours. That feature is great because I use the one hour...

Pros: Good Tasting Coffee, Handsome
Cons: Inconvenient, Poor Functional Design

We have had one Norelco, two Braun and one Krupp coffee-makers. One died of old age and three we gave to our kids as they moved out of the house. The last time we needed a new maker we bought the DCC-1200. It's a good-looking unit and the coffee ...

Pros: Great style, perfect coffee every time, will last for years.
Cons: A little more money but well worth it!

Over the years we have owned a number of brands of coffeemakers. None have held up. Within the first year they all failed in one way or another and made crappy coffee. I decided to spend a little more money and try this one out and am I ever glad I ...

Pros: Extremely well made. Solid. Great coffee.
Cons: I like mine in black, not stainless, so look around. Cup sizes smaller than most.

I had a hundred bucks to spend from a gift certificate, and have wanted a new coffee maker for at least a year. I stopped by here first to get some opinions and then set on my quest. I am serious about my coffee, love/hate Starbucks, and know the ...

Pros: A stylish coffeemaker.
Cons: Slightly awkward to fill. The carafe may develop leaks around the top.

UPDATE 11/3/09 In my searching for a less expensive replacement carafe, I stumbled over a thread where a poster described a procedure to disassemble the carafe, clean it thoroughly under the plastic rim, and reassemble it.  I did that, and it ...

Pros: Gold filter included, charcoal water filter, the look which makes any table beautiful!
Cons: $110 price, same as a grinding Cuisinart

Just received my 12 cup Cuisinart Brew Central Programmable Coffeemaker DCC1200 as an exchange for a broken DCC100 Coffee Bar ($19). Very nice touch from an excellent company named Cuisinart.

The unit itself is just beautiful with its clean...

Pros: EVERYTHING
Cons: I don't like the filter feature because of reasons I've explained

I've had my Cuisinart Coffee Maker for 5 yrs now and it is the BEST one I've ever had. The design was brilliant. Have you ever forgotton to close the lid after you've filled the water to brew the coffee, and found water all over your kitchen counter and ...

Pros: Quality product, brews a fantastic pot of coffee
Cons: Not ideal for those making large pots of "strong" coffee

This coffee pot is phenomenal! I purchased this particular unit for a variety of reasons. First of all, I needed to shake my daily Starbucks habit. Second, I had read so many great reviews on this coffee maker and I felt that its cost ($80) was a ...

Pros: Makes the best cup of coffee. Get fresh coffee beans and good water.
Cons: Expensive machine. Hard to find the charcoal filters. The filters are $6 each.

I am a coffee nut. A big nut as a matter of fact. I only buy coffee from a roaster, and the roaster must be able to tell me the date the beans were roasted. I'm in the process of opening a coffee house. I used to think that the machine was only a ...

Pros: Small batch setting, auto on timer for wake up coffee, magic clock...
Cons: Cost

Ok, so wordsworth I'm not. But I'll tell you something.. this coffee maker makes a mean pot of coffee. However, so did my cheap-o, 4 cup Proctor Silex. So it's not going to create miracles and make the most wonderous coffee out there. It's just a coffee ...

Pros: Style, Temperature, flavor, programmable, variable warmer settings.
Cons: None really.

Style = A, Brew time = B-, Ease of use = B, Coffee Temp = A, Cleaning = B-, Flavor = A, Durability = A. I'm an average coffee drinker. I may use my coffee maker 2-4 times a week brewing just one pot when I do. I also add flavored creamer to my ...

Pros: GREAT tasting coffee, VERY attractive looks, easy to use.
Cons: Tall unit, non-backlit clock.

I'm quite happy with this coffee maker. I purchased it as part of my 'holiday binge' (purchased all Cuisinart appliances and cutlery for the kitchen). The coffee just tastes fantastic. I don't know what this coffeemaker does, but WOW! I think it is ...

Pros: attractive and stylish machine
Cons: filter basket much too small

Hello: I purchased the Cuisinart DCC-1200 coffeemaker refurbished for $80 from Amazon.com, and have had it for about 4 months now. The reason I bought this particular model was because of all the glowing reviews it received here at Epinions. Just goes ...
