Cuisinart DCC-2000 12 Cup

Pros: Great tasting HOT coffee, well made machine, three year warranty, reasonable price

Cons: Size (maybe), slight condensation issue, could use some lighting of spout and brighter digital readout

The Bottom Line: Does what it should - makes good tasting hot coffee. Some slight design flaws but overall is a solid, well built machine with a good warranty and reasonable price.

Review: I went through several Mr. Coffee machines in a sixth month period (they all died) before buying my Starbucks Barista model four years ago. It still worked but a kitchen remodel gave me an excuse to go shopping for a unit with a stainless steel look. I ...

Pros: No Carafe to break. Great styling.

Cons: Could use a light.

The Bottom Line: So far, we are very happy with the Cusinart DCC-2000. It has a sharp new style, and it makes great tasting, HOT coffee. Highly recommended.

Review: I don’t think there is any kitchen appliance in existence that gets updated or replaced more frequently than the coffee maker. Whether it’s because we’ve managed to kill one out of sheer over-use, or (in our case) we see a cool new unit that ...

Pros: Great looks and style. Great coffee!

Cons: None I can think of except do not overfill the reservoir.

The Bottom Line: If you are looking for a great coffee maker, this is the one to buy - and no glass carafe to worry about.

Review: I have been using the Cuisinart DCC-2000 twelve cup coffee maker for about six months now. It brews great coffee every time and there’s no glass carafe to bother with. All you have to do is place your coffee mug on the circle on the easily ...

Pros: Quickly brewed, fresh tasting coffee that retains that “just-brewed” taste for hours.

Cons: Only a standard size coffee cup fits under the dispenser – not a travel mug.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this machine, and can’t say enough good things about it. Coffee from any other home machine is not the same.

Review: I have had this machine for over a year now, and have no complaints whatsoever! One day, my trusty machine just stopped working, sending me into a panic – I needed to get a new machine fast, but I was not willing to settle for anything less than the ...

Pros: Cool industrial/retro styling. Makes a great cup of coffee.

Cons: The gray LCD readout. A brighter LED would be much better.

The Bottom Line: Buy this! It outperforms other machines costing far more.

Review: Doing battle from time to time with Rheumatoid arthritis, I much prefer the machines with no carafe, because a full carafe of coffee and arthritis can lead to disaster. I tried some of the other brands, and liked the performance, but they had a nasty ...

Pros: Excellent warranty service.

Cons: Dicey reservoir filler.

The Bottom Line: Makes good coffee, looks cool and has the best warranty service I have experienced.

Review: I read several poor reviews of Cuisinart customer service. My machine stopped working a few days ago. I knew there was a 3 year warranty but had no proof of purchase. I called Cuisinart and she asked my serial number. She said the number showed the unit ...

Pros: Hot coffee without hot parts to burn yourself. Easy to clean. Stylish and fun!

Cons: Water tank is not removable for cleaning. Water tank opening is oddly shaped.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this unit and would purchase again without reserve! This stylish unit gives a quality cup of coffee and is easy to clean, fun and functional for everyone.

Review: Have owned my now for three months and love it. There is no glass to break and the main parts can be easily removed and washed in your dishwasher. The removable coffee tank has a large opening so it is very easy to clean which is important for a good ...

Pros: Adjustable 'Auto Shut Off' timer, no carafe, makes great coffee.

Cons: None yet

The Bottom Line: I SAY BUY IT!

Review: What is it about coffee makers that gets people so upset? I don't think I've seen any coffee maker that gets universal praise and they all seem to have major detractors. I must first admit that mine is new, so I don't have a lot of experience with it ...

Pros: Great taste, easy fill, easy clean-up

Cons: Opening size, condensation catcher doesn't work so well.

The Bottom Line: Great coffee machine. If you're in the market you cannot beat it. The extra money is well worth it!

Review: Everyone in my family has one of these coffee makers, and in my experience it is the best one I have ever used. The capacity is equal to most other coffee makers, but this one surpasses others due to design and taste. The built in charcoal feature is a ...

Pros:  A timer to have your aromatic coffee waiting for you upon awaking.

Cons:  I can't think of a thing to improve this exceptional machine!

The Bottom Line: The perfect coffee machine. No need to look at anything else.

Review: I stumbled on this maker at Costco and liked the looks and idea of it...no carafe to break, no heating element directly on the pot to burn the coffee, insulated brewed coffee holder and no unsightly glass pot to look at, so I bought one. It was ...
