The Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Coffee Maker combines modern functions with classic design.

The DCC-1200 Brew Central makes up to 12 cups, in a brushed stainless steel exterior and elegant, taller-than-usual glass carafe. The charcoal water filter ensures great tasting coffee by removing impurities in the water. Also features a 24-hour advanced brew setting, automatic shutoff, self-cleaning function, and an audible beep that signals the end of the brew cycle , though quit loud.

The Cuisinart DCC-1200 has the style, use, and design of this coffee maker I love. However, I am not a fan of the taste! I have tried adding more grounds, less grounds, with the metal basket, without, you get the idea, and the coffee either tastes weak and a bit metallic, or funky strange with the bit metallic. Like it is being brewed with spring water that has had minerals added which is good for drinking by itself, but I prefer my tap water for coffee. I drink my coffee black, so I taste the brew, not creamer, sugar, milk, sweetener.

I would give the Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Coffee Maker 3 out of 5 stars.
