Cuisinart has done it again! While many appliance manufacturers tend to create "new and improved" appliances, Cuisinart focuses on refining what already works well. I recently purchased the DCC-3200 to replace an older (14 years) model of the same type. Everything on the new machine was better than before. The quality of materials, fit, and finish, as well as the ease of operation, were top-notch. I think this one will definitely outlast the old version. My son-in-law retired his old version as well . . . It was the first one we owned, and we gave it to them about 15 years ago...that pot was still working up to 18 years.
. And we wore out our old one so we stayed with the brand we were happy with. Like the way you can adjust the temperature and the strength of your coffee and the machine lets you know when it’s time to clean it. We just love this coffee maker.
We have purchased Cuisinart 14 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker for many years and very happy with coffee maker. Cuisinart always provides a great cup of coffee.
An easy to use coffee maker that makes a great cup of coffee, and does so at a very reasonable price. If you are looking for a great cup of brewed coffee, and don't want to overspend for useless bells and whistles, this is perfect.
I've had a few drip coffemakers in my time and this is by far the worst engineered carafe and basket design ever. It is far from dripless and removing the carafe while the machine is still brewing is a recipe for disaster. IT ALWAYS DRIPS ON THE HOT PLATE. Trying to put the carafe back is equally frustrating because it always gets hung up on the "valve" at the bottom of the basket. And, when pouring from the carafe, there is no way to not have coffee spill on the counter no matter how hard you try. Terrible design. Terrible appliance. If I could give zero stars, I would
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We like this coffee maker. I have a concern about the carafe rubbing on the warming unit. It leaves a mark on both the burner and carafe. I hope this doesn't cause an issue later.
I would recommend this to a friend!
