Great coffee pot with fantastic controls. Keeps the coffee at a great temperature.
2 drawbacks-only keeps the coffee hot for 4 hours.
Even in the full upright open position, the lid makes it difficult to pour all of the water in the carafe into the reservoir.

Bad out of the box

This would have been my second Cuisinart coffee maker. 1st was 12-cup 3400. Great until water wouldn't heat consistently to 195• + at grounds. It lasted almost 10 years.
Brand new 14-cup Perfect Temp cannot achieve 180• in/at grounds out of the box. Tried 5x even using 100• tap water.

We’re sorry to hear your new 14-cup Perfect Temp coffee maker isn’t reaching the expected brewing temperature. To help optimize performance, ensure the water reservoir is fully seated, the brew basket is properly positioned, and avoid overfilling, as these factors can affect heating. If the unit still does not reach the proper temperature, our team can review your coffee maker to confirm it’s functioning correctly. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference ticket number 8900539849 for assistance.

My new 14 Cup Programable Cuisinart makes loud popping sounds when brewing. Not a pleasant sound to wake up to. The company tells me this is normal for this machine. Not impressed and wishing I had saved money with Mr Coffee or Black and Decker.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love the size, design and performance of this coffee maker. This is the second I’ve had. I only replaced the first one because of one slight defect. The burner coating started peeling off after 3 years of use. It still worked, but I did not like the look of the burner. So that’s my only complaint. Gave the old one to a friend who also likes it a lot.

The Cuisinart DCC-3200 is a beautiful coffee maker that’s easy to setup. Just read the easy to understand instructions manual that comes with it. It brews an excellent, hot cup of coffee whether it’s for 1 of up to 14. Each cup portion is just 5 ozs. (small cup) so keep that in mind. A full 14 cup pot will yield about 8-9 mug size servings. It takes a little longer to brew coffee in this machine which is a plus because the water is extracting all the oils and flavors from the grounds for a smooth, rich and satisfying cup of coffee. This is a quality built coffee machine that should last for years.
