Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Coffeemaker
Customer Review: Not a quality product
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought this a year ago because it looked nice and Cuisinart seemed like a solid brand. The first one we got stopped working after a few days -- the water wouldn't go through and it made lots of steam but no coffee. We figured that was an exception, got another one that worked normally for a year, then broke down just like the first one. In addition the machine doesn't hold enough coffee grounds to make a large pot of strong coffee, and a normal load of grounds tends to jam the holes in the bottom of the lid. Plus, it's hard to pour the water into the narrow little opening on the side. Poorly designed and poorly engineered.
And in addition, don't get the matching coffee grinder. That broke after less than a year -- the blade literally broke off.
Customer Review: Best Coffeemaker!

The Cuisinart DCC 1200 makes a tasty hot pot of coffee. From the first to the last cup the temperature and taste are consistent. I really like the variable temperature for the hot plate portion of this maker, but the temperature of the pot of coffee is not dependent on sitting and cooking- that very first cup of coffee comes out nice and HOT. I've yet to find a coffee pot that brews hot enough coffee, this one absolutely does. It's also got quite the retro style to it with toggle switches instead of push buttons. My search for the perfect coffee pot is over, thanks Cuisinart!Customer Review: Great coffee - easy directions

Read lots of reviews for this product. Wanted one in 12 cup - white and found it at Amazon. Be careful of the model number. Many of these products look alike but have slightly different features. Customer Review: Leaky mess!
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the Cusinart DCC-120 because of great reviews, but my experience has been less than positive. It makes good coffee,but not piping hot. It leaks water as you're trying to put the water in the holding tank and the tank is inconvenient to fill especially if you are in a wheelchair and can't see in the top. The coffee carafe is a nice except for the lid which snaps on and off and if it isn't placed just right doesn't stay on. I wish I had never bought this machine and bought the electric Bodum Santos, even with the fact that the pot wears out in a year or two, it is a much better maker for anyone with handicaps! And the COFFEE IS GOOD & HOT!Customer Review: Best Coffee Maker I've Ever Owned!
Summary: 5 Stars
There are lots of reviews for this coffee maker, which include all the pros and cons. However, the bottom line, so as not to repeat, is that this is an excellent coffeemaker and has some pretty nifty features like a charcoal water filter and a "self-clean" cycle.
If the one I have wears out, I will buy another!
