Cuisinart Stainless Steel 12-Cup Coffee Maker, Black

Love the new sleek look of this Cuisinart 12 Cup Coffeemaker (DCC-1220 Series). I also like some of the new features ex, displaying how long the coffee has been brewed. You can also change the time of how long you would like to keep the coffeemaker on ex., 1 hour or 1 hour 20 minutes etc. I am very impressed with this Cuisinart Coffeemaker and would highly recommend to anyone who needs to purchase a new coffeemaker.

This coffeemaker makes the hottest coffee of any coffeemaker that I have tried. I love truly hot coffee, and so do a lot of other people. Other advantages of this coffeemaker are the extra-strong caraffe and the built-in filter that allows one to avoid using a paper filter if one does not have time or energy to use a paper filter. I love it and am so glad that I made this purchase!

Very good basic coffee maker. A little quieter than my pervious, a little bigger Cuisinart coffee maker that had more features. The 2 hours keep warm feature is perfect for us. Only one drawback is that the lid is not removable from the carafe so cleaning and filling it with water is a bit on the tricky side but not bad. Clock display is clear and a very good size.

Not nearly as good as my previous Cuisinart. Coffeepot lid remains attached to coffee pot making it difficult to clean. Coffee holder has a foldable handle making it difficult to hold while cleaning (previous model had a tab extending above the top level of the holder which was perfect for lifting or holding the coffee holder). Using the same filter, amount of coffee and water level as previous coffeepot this model brews faster and not as flavorful as previous model.

I like this coffee maker overall. The coffee is nice and hot, and after about 3 months, still no signs of rust on the warmer plate. But, the handle on the carafe broke today, so that's not good. The handle has a plastic piece that hooks over the top edge of the carafe to hold it in place. Well, that piece gave way I guess because now it moves like a hinge. We almost lost a whole pot of coffee to the kitchen floor. So now we have to buy a new carafe, which is like 30% of the cost of the machine.

Looks great, easy to use. Heating surface too hot and coffee taates burnt before I pour my 2nd cup. this is exactly why I didn't buy a cheaper brand: I thought the Cuisinart would be better. I would have been better off saving my money and buying a cheaper machine. I have to pour the freshly made coffee into an insulated thermos to enjoy a 2nd cup.

I don't remember the last time I could buy a coffee maker that made great coffee. Cuisinart I have alway's been a fan of. No matter what I did it didn't make a decent cup and will have to return it. Very plastic. Although it looked great I wanted it to be the one.

Made of mostly cheap and cheap looking plastic. Nothing like my previous 12 cup stainless steel one. I actually ordered the 14 cup stainless steel one which was supposedly in stock but they sent me this. Not a good substitute.

Cuisinart has always been high quality - a quiet coffeemaker without any dripping. However this one is particularly noisy and drips onto the warmer every time I pick up the carafe. Not happy this time.

Not happy with this at all. Purchased 9 months ago and it is totally DEAD. It has only been on my kitchen counter. No travel. Nokids.
