Cuisinart Brew Central Coffee Maker DCC-2200  Product Reviews

"I LOVED my new coffee maker. It does drip a bit when the carafe is removed during the brewing, but not a big deal. Today, though, at 10 months old, it caught on fire! Thankfully, my husband and I were sitting right there, at the table, enjoying a cup of coffee and heard an unfamiliar noise. The leftover coffee was boiling, the machine was OFF, and when the machine was tipped back, I could see FLAMES inside! Took it outside and used the hose on it, so no harm done, but what IF! We are replacing it with an exact model but have learned to UNPLUG small appliances if we're not going to be home!"

"We got this one because our 12-Cup Brew Central was ready to be retired. We loved it and what would be better on Sunday morning than a 14-Cup? On the plus side, it makes very good coffee, and more. It's easier to put water into. On the down side, the knobs are harder to turn and you can't regulate the temperature on the hot plate. You must use the included gold metal filter to avoid the grounds overflowing on to the top. Bottom line: it makes very good coffee and is a good quality machine."

"I have worn out several coffeemakers and was less than satisfied until I got this one and man what a coffee maker. I have on hand at anyone time about 6 or 7 coffee's from around the world and mix and match beans randomly. This coffeemaker makes a perfect cup every time. I have not had one problem with anything including overfilling it. I also always put a paper filter under the wire basket which makes for a better cup of coffee without the left over sludge in the bottom of the pot. I would recomend this coffeemaker to anyone who wants a good hot cup of coffee. I chose this coffeemaker over the Cuisinart with built in grinder because of the hassel from these types of coffeemakers.Get it youl LOVE it."

"Problems: Reservoir water level not visible from exterior. I have a little flashlight beside it so I am able to see down inside to read how many cups of water I've poured in. The lid is a hassle to snap back on. I don't bother anymore. The only good thing is that the coffee is very hot."
