What People Say about Cuisinart DCC 3200

Tracy Kimmel

Gives 5/5 ratings and say

“This coffee brewer is the CADILLAC of all brewers! Forget Bunn, forget Hamilton Beach, forget Keurig, and any other brand! I would buy this pot over and over again, and highly recommend it to anyone needing a new brewer. The settings buttons work exactly as specified…for example, if you want warm coffee, you can brew warm coffee. You want piping hot coffee, you get that! The bold button actually brews bold coffee! I need about three more because they would make amazing gifts!!!! Love, love, LOVE!!!!!!!”

“This is an awesome coffee maker. It makes great tasting coffee and I love the way it coordinates with stainless steel appliances. Plus, it’s super easy to clean and program! Personally, I like the boldness of the gold filter.”

J. A. Smith

Gives 5/5 rating to the coffee maker and say:

“Bought this to replace a 5-6-year-old Krups unit with flaky electronics and a rusty hot plate. This thing runs circles around the Krups. Makes great coffee and looks nice on the counter. It does have a considerably bigger footprint though. Don’t expect to put this under a wall cabinet and have room to open the lid.

This is the first time we’ve had a gold mesh filter basket. We are using it without a paper filter and it works well and is pretty easy to clean. But you will get a little bit of “coffee sludge” at the bottom of your cup, similar to what is left behind by a French press.”

CONCLUSION

This Cuisinart DCC-3200 model offers good value for money especially when it comes to price to features ratio. Gold-tone permanent filters, programmable timers and settings, fully automated and the list of good things goes on and on with only a few drawbacks. This is one of the best coffee makers on the market for a modern kitchen. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a coffee maker equipped with a cutting-edge coffee technology.
