 Compare this to Cuisinart May 20, 2006

I wrote a review of our new Cuisinart DCC-1200W under that product. In that review, I mentioned that we also bought a DeLonghi for our RV about the same time. This is the model DeLonghi we bought at the local Target.
This coffee maker, quite simply, is better designed and made a better cup of coffee than the Cuisinart right out of the box. The Cuisinart here on Amazon is about twice the price of the DeLonghi.
If you're in the market for a new coffee pot and you read all the glowing reviews of the Cuisinart here on Amazon, I urge you to consider this pot instead.

Great programmable coffeemaker. Easy to use. Wonderful to wake up in the AM and have your coffee waiting.
After 6 months of use I have had to buy 3 carafes. The bottoms crack without a cause Now I'm unable to find replacements...I wonder why.
Makes a great cup of coffee January 12, 2008

I had read a few not very favorable reviews about this coffeemaker, but decided to buy it and try it anyway. I'm so glad I did. It makes great coffee and has all the bells and whistles I need. Plus it is not expensive! I like the option to have a slower drip for deeper coffee flavor. The carafe doesn't drip and I like the design of the maker and the carafe. I very much like that it comes with the gold filter and that it has the automatic start and shut-off functions. This machine makes much better coffee than any of the other drip machines I have owned. And I do love a good cup of coffee.
 What happened to the 12 cups? September 13, 2007

In general, this product produces a decent cup of coffee - so in that sense it meets our primary criteria. However, there are a few things about it that we find disturbing: chief of which is that it is advertised as a 12 cup coffeemaker, well guess what, it never brews more than 10 cups no matter how much coffee and water we put in. There are other things about it that people contemplating a purchase should be aware of:
# It has a very slow brew cycle, and if you select the 'Aroma' setting
which is supposed to enhance taste and coffee aroma, it will double
up the already slow cycle.
# The carafe design featuring the attached cover is difficult to pour
with due to the heat of the freshly brewed coffee, and the narrow
design of the lip (not sure if that is the right word) which leads
many spills. It is not well designed.
# The coffeemakers large footprint makes it awkward to put in the
water, particularly if your counterspace is at a premium. I end up
having to turn it sideways to do so.
All in all, I would think that this machine does not deserve the rating it had at the time of our purchase.
 Worst coffee maker to date October 29, 2007
Mikhail S. Jenkins (Mpls, MN USA)
I've been through several coffee makers in my life...this is the worst. I am also big into cone filters, as IMHO they make a better cup of cofffee. It does not leak when pouring as savagely as the Krups I have owned, but makes around 10 cups of coffee and then shuts down from dripping while there is still coffee in the basket where you put the coffee. I have reduced and reduced the amount of coffee I have put in the basket, have switched from the included gold filter to paper filters, have tried using warm instead of cold water when making coffee...anything I could think of.
Nonetheless, it defies my attempts at making a pot of coffee without making a mess. The basket has a life of it's own, and I have witness it pop itself out from the machine and need to be pushed back in lest the "pause and drip" feature (which, in this model, is the "pause and pour coffee on the warming plate" feature) spill even further coffee around.
The main problems I've had in coffee makers in the past have been messy pouring from the carafe (especially in the Krups brand), though I had a wonderful KitchenAid that finally gave up on me after a several years. Its sole annoying feature was a charcoal water filter on the inside of the water tank that had to be replaced every so often. Looking back, that was a great joy compared to the faults I have been experiencing using my DeLonghi. I tried the programmable feature a few times until I got sick of waking up to a mess of sloppy grounds and coffee all over my countertop.
The "aroma" feature just lets the coffee sit in the basket for longer, which makes any chance of a mess much more likely. Thanks! I really don't know what they were thinking when they made this coffee maker. Rather than wear out, I am probably going to retire it to the dumpster long before it's time. I wouldn't dare even give it away, as I would face certain animosity from any party I gave it to...
