Posted Aug 25, 2004 - I would buy this product again. It makes excellent coffee & has a high-end look. The carafe is glass so it can be washed in the dishwasher and the filter holder is removable. In addition, the item is low maintenance. The only negative is price. But, look around, you will find a deal on it.

Posted Feb 11, 2004 - This machine is easy to use and has well thought out programming routines. It a snap to set up and easy to fill and clean. I appreciate the way the carafe pours without dribbling the coffee or water when filling a cup or the reservoir. Besides the great tasting coffee, this machine has many nice features and is good looking as well.

Cuisinart Brew Control DCC1200

Posted Feb 16, 2006 - I've only had mine for a little over a week now, but it quickly brews nice strong coffee. Easy to operate and program and looks nice too. The charcoal water filter is another great built in feature!

Posted Jun 27, 2004 - If you like hot coffee from a well thought out design, then this is it. Very classy apearance and makes excellent coffee. Easy to set timer for timed morning brew. I have have spent more for a coffee maker with much less satisfaction. Some may view the price as too high, but in this case you get what you pay for with a 3 year warentee.

Was great until it died...

Posted Jul 12, 2007 - Only lasted 3 years then for about 2 days it would shut off after just a few minutes. That was all the warning I got before it just completely died. No way to fix since they use non-standard security screws which are recessed so far that you cannot get them out w/o the correct tool (which of course they have). I'll give a factory reconditioned unit a try but 1 more failure and it's bye-bye Cuisinart.

I'd buy it all over again!

Posted May 23, 2006 - After reading all comments, both negative and positive, I went ahead and bought this machine. And, I'm happy I did. Many negative comments sound like they're coming from those who probably don't handle any type of appliance with care and respect. I mean, it's just a coffee maker (and a darned good one), not something that takes a rocket scientists expertise to get the best out of it. If you have a problem treating these kinds of items with care and respect (for the fact that none of them are intended to be used by grizzly bears or elephants) and going ahead and trying to beat the daylights out of appliances and other products, in order to declare "there, you see, it's a shoddy piece of equipment and now it's broken, then you should probably just go to Starbuck's for your java fix. I've yet to see the frailties many posters talk about. I haven't found anything wrong with the design, operation or functionality of it. I love its design and appearance! So, I would heartily recommend it. And yes, I would buy it all over again.

I guess I need to keep looking

Posted Apr 21, 2006 - I must admit - this coffeemaker is better than many I have used before, and I was excited after reading so many positive reviews, but the beef I have right now is that these carafes break like crazy. I have used coffemakers for over 30 years now. Usually, a glass carafe would last me at least 12 months. Not these. It almost seems like planned profit improvements, they are so poorly made. The simple economics of it tell me that If I go on buying $25 carafes every 2 months, I'd be better off just biting the bullet and buying a new coffee maker. An that is what I'm going to do. Sorry Cuisinart.

Premature Shut-off

Posted Dec 15, 2007 - After just a year the warmer started shutting off after just a few minutes. Nothing is worse than having your second cup of coffee be tepid and your third cold.

Great... just great

Posted 2 months ago - Use it every day. Sometimes use the automatic feature. Easy to clean. Looks as good as when we bought it 4 years ago. Yep, thought it was a little expensive but it's a non issue now. I guess the name of the game is to take care of and keep it looking presentable.

The Best Coffee Brew System

Posted 1 year ago - This is the best coffee maker I've ever owned. I've been a coffee affacinado for over 30 years and this is the best brew system I've ever used. There are the French Press systems and admittedly a tad better but a lot less convenient. This coffee is actually hot. The adjustable temperature warming plate is my most favorite feature. Complains of (water opening too small, etc) are just looking for something to complain about. Also, those who call it (pricey) I'm thinking, "what"
