Purchased 2 months ago to repkace model DC 1200 I gained two more cups in coffee capacity, but and no change in quality coffee. Biggest improvements are the time, and progamable brew time. Adjusting the warming plate tempurature is a big plus. I unwaveringly endorse.
Been using Cuisinart coffeemakers for many years. We are coffee lovers, so always buy a 14-cup model. I like this model update, especially the feature that allows us to set the carafe to keep warm at different temperatures.
Love this coffee maker, great coffee, fast and hot. Almost too hot, it suits me but too hot for my husband. There just needs to be more variation between the high, med & low temps. Otherwise great!
I bought this a few weeks ago, and now I am enjoying great tasting coffee every morning. Brews very quickly, was easy to set up and works like a charm.
