Title: DCC 3200 compared to older 1200 model
Review: We've replaced an older Cuisinart DCC-1200 with this DCC-3200. Since it's a popular line, I thought others might be interested in how they compare. (In the attached comparison photos, the 1200 is on the left and the 3200 is on the right):Taste: Coffee in the 3200 is more flavorful. A new machine might be expected to be better, but I think they've gotten the flow and temperature of the brewing process better.Temperature: The brewed coffee is much hotter. Both units have three temperature settings for the hot plate, but the settings on the 3200 are hotter.Size and Capacity. The 3200 handles 14 cups compared to the 1200's 12 cups. Yet as you can see from the photos, they are the same height to fit on a counter. They seem to get the extra capacity by making the 3200 a little deeper from front to back. We've been surprised at how useful the extra capacity is.Carafe: The new glass carafe is just like the old one, only larger. It pours nicely with or without the lid on it. The new lid works the same as the old one, popping off and on. (I read some complaints about the lid on an intervening model with a spring opening, but if so, they fixed that by going back to the 1200 style).As far as I can tell, there isn't a version of the 3200 designed for a thermal carafe like there is for the 12-cup models. I prefer the glass carafe because it keeps the coffee hotter longer, and I can always pour the coffee into a thermal carafe if I want to.Water Filling. The bigger size also increases the size of the water fill hole. The lid on the top of the 3200 unit raises to 90 degrees straight up, where the lid on the 1200 tilted further back and out of the way. Still the 3200 is easier to fill, and I suspect that the restriction on the tilt may help preserve the integrity of the hot water tube.Sneak a Cup. Taking out the carafe to sneak a cup during brewing worked great on the 1200 with little dripping, and still does on the 3200.Basket. The basket on the 3200 is very similar to the 1200, but a slightly different shape to accommodate more grounds for 14 cups. Actually, grounds just barely fit with a 4 cup paper filter in the new basket, and sometimes go above the filter in the basket. The basket actually seems more designed for the included gold filter.Water filter. The 3200 uses the exact same carbon filters and filter holder as the 1200, but the holder seems to fit more snugly in its hole, which may help prevent clogging (see below)Beep. The 3200 allows you to turn of the coffee-ready beep if you want.Controls. Controls on the 3200 are a little easier. The 3200 uses all push buttons with no switches. Separate hour and minute settings make it a little easier to program and set the clock. There is a new "Bold" setting which does indeed seem to result in stronger coffee. There is still a setting for smaller, 1-4 cup pots, but I never use that. You can still set the hot plate to stay hot for up to 4 hours, which is important to me. There is a fairly bright blue glow from the LED display on the 3200.Cleaning. There was a sensor button on the hot plate of the 1200 that's gone on the 3200, so the plate stays cleaner. The extra stainless steel looks good on the 3200 but probably shows smudges more and might benefit from special cleaner fluids.Coffee Grounds Overflowing and Clogging. This was the biggest problem before, and I don't know if it's fixed, but it seems better. On the 1200, if you put too many coffee grounds in the filter it could overflow in the brewing process, and sometimes grounds would get into the water system and clog the tube. The 1200 was designed not to be repairable, but customers tried anyway with some difficulty. After one successful repair, we eventually had to replace the 1200. So far, we have not had any overflow issues with the 3200. The larger basket (with possibly a bigger drip opening), the deeper reservoir and longer case, and the more stable, non-tilting lid may help with this, but we will see how it works over time. I do notice that they made the bottom panel easier to remove, with regular screws instead of Torx, if it ever comes to that. My one tip for users is to always use the filter holder with a filter in it, even if your water is fine, because that should help prevent grounds from getting into the heating system.In all, the 3200 is an excellent replacement for the 1200, and worth the extra money if you are choosing between the two models new.

Title: Excellent product
Review: We're very happy with this coffeemaker. The coffee is strong and hot with a great depth of flavor (we use a higher coffee-to-water ratio than the booklet recommends). I have two relatively minor quibbles with the design. 1) I wish they had added a light on the console to let you know that the brewing is finished. If you're out of the room when the beeper goes off, you end up guessing and staring at it to see if it's still dripping. 2) The fit of the carafe on the hot plate is loose. Occasionally I don't seat it properly and the coffee doesn't drip through. Neither one is a big deal, just a bit of a nuisance.

Title: Good brand great coffee
Review: As a longtime coffee enthusiast, I find the Cuisinart DCC-3200WP1 to be one of the best coffee makers on the market today. It offers all the features you could want: a clock, auto timer, small pot or half-pot brewing options, and a self-cleaning function. Plus, it can brew up to 14 cups of coffee, while most competitor models max out at 12.You have the flexibility to use either traditional paper filters or a filter basket, depending on your taste preference. The basket tends to produce a richer, thicker cup, while paper filters result in a lighter brew. The coffee maker also uses cotton water filters in the water chamber, which help remove impurities before brewing, enhancing the flavor of your coffee.It features a 2-hour auto shutoff with an audio alert and keeps your coffee hot the entire time. With all these features, I can't see a reason to need anything else. The price is very reasonable for everything you're getting.

Title: Great Coffee, but . . .
Review: We've had a succession of these coffee makers--3 in all. They have all made very good coffee, which is the most important thing. The controls are easy to use. The machine is perfect except for one flaw. We like strong coffee, so we probably use more grounds than average. Unfortunately, even on the "bold" setting, which runs the water through more slowly, the cone filter fills with water and overflows, causing grounds to spill out. This makes cleaning up more difficult. To remedy this, I have to turn the machine on and off several times to let the water drain out of the filter to prevent overflow. Even with this annoying issue, I still recommend the coffee maker.

Title: 5 stars, however…
Review: This thing is beautiful, functional and makes a great cup of coffee. Just be aware the coffee basket holder MUST be seated completely in the machine or the spring loaded stopper will not hit the lid of the carafe and your coffee will brew but will overflow into the carafe not drip into it. This ruins the pot of coffee as it’s weak and full of grounds. Just remember when you insert the basket holder to push it all the way down and all will be fine.

Review: 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.

Title:
Review: 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.

Review: Beyond expectation (knock on wood). We've had it for half a year now, maybe, and haven't had any trouble at all. Haven't needed to clean it either - except for dispensing with the grinds (into compost) and keeping the top up to dry out naturally (tends to always collect a lot of moisture). Have not used the cleaning function as the machine hasn't requested us to do that yet... The simmering function lasts maybe 2 hours and on HIGH keeps the coffee piping hot.I highly recommend this coffee machine

Customers say

Customers like the coffee quality, functionality, and ease of use of the coffee maker. They mention it makes really good coffee, works well, and is extremely easy to program and set the clock. Some appreciate the great looks and ease of cleaning. However, some are disappointed with leakage and have different opinions on the value for money.
