Cuisinart DCC-3200 14-Cup Glass Carafe with Stainless Steel Handle Programmable Coffeemaker, Silver

Making a good cup of Coffee for me as it is for many, a very serious morning event. I do not take it lightly. So as you can see from my short video, I am not afraid to invest in the process. But I’d like to think there are points of diminishing returns and that’s how I approached this purchase. You can spend mega bucks on a coffee brewer, but does that insure the best experience, the best end result. So I wanted an attractive, easy to use brewer that would not take up more counter space than necessary, and not break the bank. Enter the Cuisinart brewer. It is not the cheapest but it is far from the most expensive. I buy my coffee beans from a local roaster, grind my own coffee, and primarily drink light to medium roasted coffees. The Cuisinart once ordered was delivered within a couple days. Package was undamaged, it was double boxed. The brewer was easy to unpack and setup. I ran a pot of water through the brewer just to flush things out. Then brewed up a 8 cup pot. 8 cups really means about 4 decent sized coffee mugs of coffee. I used a tbs of coffee per cup for the brewing process. Using the Cuisinart was fairly straight forward. A series of buttons across the front panel gives you your brewing options and the tiny clock is surrounded by another series of buttons to set time, adjust the tone, and adjust the temp of the hot plate (low, medium, high). Inside the brewer once you lift the top lid, is a basket holding a reusable metal mesh filter. Be aware that the basket is all plastic and after you lift it out, must be set back into its proper position. You cannot just drop it in place. There is an ample opening to add your water. You must exercise some care in filling the coffee maker. The side of the coffee maker has a volume capacity indicator. The glass pot is nicely designed but careful as the glass may not be the most resistant to breaking, it is on the thin side. I’ve been using #4 paper filters for my brewing. Seems to work just fine. Now as for the brewing process, you can set a timer for automatic start or use the center button to initiate a start. I’ve done both, works well. As for the end product…..the brewed coffee is very good. Much will depend on what coffee you actually use and the quality of your water. Oh, and there is a charcoal filter for water filtration. It is found on the left interior side on the end of extended plastic piece. Not sure what else I can add here only to say that the machine does its job and the end result is good. For less than $100, money well spent.

Es excelente y fácil el manejo su programación funciona muy bien

This is a US coffee maker, fitted with a US electrical outlet plug. Unfortunately this makes it fairly useless to a UK customer like me. Even after securing a step-down converter it won't start brewing. Nothing in the original ad, including the small print and technical details, suggests this is not a UK coffee maker. Basically all told £150 wasted due to the seller and Amazon being clueless about where they are selling electrical items.

アメリカ駐在中に購入し、気に入っているブランドです。たっぷりコーヒーを淹れられるので休日にゆっくり味わっています。 コーヒー好きな方におすすめです

Product is 120 volts with American plug, not 240 as advertised. Confirmed directly with manufacturer. Usage in Europe will also void warranty. Will be returning.
