Review: 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 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.
Review: 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 desertcart 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!!!

## 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.
