Before we had purchased our Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Coffeemaker, we made our coffee by hand.
We used a single cup coffee filter cone, inserted a filter, filled it with ground coffee and poured hot water. We went through this ritual every single day.
After our twins were born we got extremely busy and had to think of ways to streamline our daily routine. We looked at our daily coffee making ritual and saw that we had to eliminate some of the steps.
So we decided to buy the Cuisinart Brew Central Coffeemaker mainly because it was programmable to brew coffee automatically every morning just before we woke up. We still had to fill it up with coffee and water the night before, but at least we didn't have to boil water ourselves and change two filters every morning.
Our coffee never tasted burnt and the Cuisinart keeps the coffee hot for two hours.
It can make 12 cups but we never made a full pot because between the two of us we only drink a cup of coffee once a day. We could have bought a smaller coffeemaker, but it wouldn't have been a Cuisinart.In my opinion, our Cuisinart makes a good cup of coffee. I believe it's because of the way they designed the nozzle that drips hot water over the coffee grinds and the shape of the cone that funnels and concentrates all the coffee through to the opening.
Our Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Coffeemaker is almost three years old and we used it everyday without a problem.
