I cannot brew a good cup of coffee. I’ve tried several brands of coffee, followed the directions correctly and still the coffee tastes like wet cardboard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry to hear you’re not enjoying your coffee and understand how disappointing that experience can be. A weak taste can sometimes occur if the machine needs a thorough cleaning or descaling, if the water is not fresh, or if the grind size or coffee‑to‑water ratio needs adjustment. We recommend running a cleaning cycle, using filtered water, and slightly increasing the amount of coffee to enhance flavor. Thank you for sharing your feedback—it helps us improve future models.
Loved my previous programmable Cuisinart coffee maker. This one is just as easy to use! I like that I can have my coffee ready for me in the morning ! My husband doesn’t drink coffee so I can dream that he makes me coffee every morning the way I like it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

First DCC-3200 lasted 16 years of near daily use with regular cleaning and care. I bought a second one and was asked to give a review. The fact I bought a second one says all I need to say.
Great coffee make unless you dislike noisy brewing

This coffeemaker is easy to use, makes good coffee relatively quickly and looks good. The reason for four instead of five stars? It is ridiculously noisy! I decided against using the program feature because the popping noise it makes when brewing woke me up in my far from the kitchen bedroom!
I would recommend this to a friend!
