Cuisinart14-Cup Coffee Maker, Programmable PerfecTemp Glass Carafe Coffee Machine with 1-4 Cup Setting, Brew Strength Control and Brew Pause, Stainless Steel, DCC-3200NAS

Consistently delicious, perfectly hot coffee every timeI upgraded to this Cuisinart after using a basic Mr. Coffee machine and couldn’t be happier. From the very first brew, coffee came out piping hot thanks to the PerfecTemp technology, with rich flavors fully extracted from the grounds. The brew strength control and 1 to 4 cup mode give great flexibility, and the auto shutoff is a real bonus for safety and convenience. The carafe pours cleanly without drips and the water window makes filling so easy. Setup was quick, less than 10 minutes, and clean up is simple. Worth every penny. Highly recommend!

I am a serious coffee drinker. I’ve had several different coffee brewers and this one is by far the best. Easy to handle, nice looking, coffee is HOT (the best feature) and it’s a long lasting product. Very happy with my purchase!!

Great coffee maker, easy-to-read display, backlit in blue - very simple to program. Delicious coffee, no grounds in coffee nor coming out top of the filter. Being able to set the hot plate to stay on for 4 hours is a plus, and it still tastes fresh, not old. Easy to clean coffee pot and fill reservoir. Very satisfied with features. Bought this to replace a Cuisinart, which I believe we had for 7+ years and used every day. Hoping this one lasts as long.

I researched coffeemakers until I couldn’t stand it anymore. I finally settled on this Cuisinart and I think it was a good choice overall. The coffee is good flavored (no plastic taste) and the temperature of the coffee is very hot. I like being able to change the carafe temperature setting. We keep it on medium, since we find the high setting is way too hot and we have to wait too long for the coffee to cool to a drinkable temperature. With other coffee makers we have had a problem with the carafe spout dripping coffee all over the counter while pouring the coffee. This Cuisinart does not do that. That was a welcome change. Also, after the brewing cycle on our previous machines, when we would open the top of the coffeemaker to remove the filter with grounds, water would pour down the back of the machine and keep dripping for awhile onto the counter. This Cuisinart drips down the back a little when you first open the top, but not a lot, and it doesn’t keep on dripping. One wipe-up and we’re good. We like the 5-beep signal that the brewing cycle is done. Also, it beeps twice when the 2 hour keep-warm cycle ends. That’s a nice feature. I read many reviews that said there was a problem with a lot of machines having the hot plate rust or flake. We haven’t been using our machine long enough to experience that, but having read those reviews, we’ve made sure to always dry the bottom of the carafe before placing it back on the hot plate. I’ve also read some negative reviews about the design of the black plastic rim around the top of the carafe, saying it holds water or coffee and doesn’t allow for a complete clean out. I find that is true of our machine as well, and I don’t like that design at all. It is tough to pour the last little bit of coffee or water out of the carafe, and liquid does get trapped inside the rim. I noticed this when I washed the carafe this morning with soap and water, rinsed it and then dried it completely. I saw that water continued to drip down the inside which had to have been coming from inside the rim. I’m a little concerned about bacteria forming inside there from leftover coffee, because there’s no way to clean that out completely. Also I’ve attached a picture that shows the inner side of the handle against the glass holds water that has gotten in there, as well as water trapped under the metal band that goes around the lower part of the outside of the carafe. That metal band seems to serve no purpose other than decoration and advertisement, as it says the word Cuisinart on it. Since the inside of the handle is on the outside of the glass, that trapped water is not contaminating or causing a problem with the coffee, so I guess I won’t worry about that one too much, but it is still a design flaw that Cuisinart should correct. The main reason being that I saw a few drops seep out of the bottom of the handle, which could possibly contribute to the rusting issue of the hot plate, since I thought the carafe was totally dry before putting it back on the hot plate, not realizing it would drip afterwards. The design of the top of the carafe is my biggest complaint about this machine. A carafe is such a simple item, it should never have water trapped anywhere in it. My last machine had a very simple flip up lid with no plastic rim around the top of the carafe. Never had a problem with it, except for the spout dripping. That could’ve been solved with molding the glass spout a little bigger. I think Cuisinart should re-design their carafe to eliminate that black plastic rim. Otherwise, we are pretty satisfied with the unit. Time will tell how long it keeps working compared to previous ones we’ve used.

I love the Cuisinart brand and I love this coffee maker. This purchase was a replacement for our old one that finally went kaput. But we had it for years and years, using it every single day, so we definitely got our use out of it. This is the exact same style as the last one but a little updated with a very clean look that is looks fine out on the countertop. It perfectly fits our space...not so tall that it doesn't fit under the cabinets. Of course, we have to pull it forward to pour the water into the top. But it has a reusable filter that is washable so you don't have to use paper filters, which is wonderful. It's programmable so I can set it the night before and it will make the coffee for me in the morning as I'm getting ready for work. The best part, however, is the "bold" button that can make the coffee stronger when it's brewing...my husband and I both like a strong cup. I'm sure this will last just as long as the last one. But when it goes, I'm sure we'll repeat our purchase again!

This coffee maker produces great tasting coffee in a relatively short time. This model is an upgrade design from the one that we have now and it is quite an improvement. The push-button controls work very well and the lighted screen can be easily seen. The settings buttons around the screen are MUCH easier to use than on the model this item replaced.We don't use the metal coffee ground filter because they are actually a dirty, nasty mess that you have to clean everyday! We use a #4 paper filter and the machine makes great coffee with no mess that you have to clean up later. Also, the item sets us a little higher on its legs; this is great if you spill water, etc. and it runs under the unit. The coffee pot itself is a nice size and easy to handle (you can put as little or as much water in it as you wish).Please note, the first couple of times you use the coffee maker it will make "strange" noises. We found that this does not indicate problems it is just the new material expanding/contracting due to the heat being applied to it. No worries!Overall you will like your new machine. We have had this brand for many years and the coffee makers we had expired from "old age" and not because of defects.
