Cuisinart Coffee Makers: The Brand To Choose
I have had the Cuisinart Coffee Makers brand DCC-1000 for about a week now. I was reluctant to spend so much on a coffee maker but I am pleased to report it’s easily worth it. Sure, you can get other brands of coffee makers for under $25 if economy is the most significant feature, but I have had those machines and I made a decision that, this time, a good coffee was most important for me. This coffee maker makes the best coffee I have had in a long time and better than most coffee I have had in restaurants .
The Cuisinart coffee makers java tastes great! I suspect the charcoal water filter is the cause of that. I also like the “shower head” design of the water spout. The water basically runs up a track onto the bottom of the lid and is spattered over the ground coffee like a rain shower.
It’s an engaging unit but it also is like a serious coffee maker. This unit is no toy. The carafe has a good solid feel and balance. It isn’t the light shitty plastic that cracks and discolors simply in the cheap coffee makers.
I like the 5 beeps when the coffee is prepared. I could hear the beeps. I like the permanent gold-tone filter too. I always thought paper filters were a mess. But you can use paper filters in this coffee maker if you need to.
Most Cuisinart coffee makers have an indicator light for cleaning — it is saying it’s “self-cleaning” but actually it’s just a light telling you when you want to pour in a pot of water/vinegar and run it through to decalcify the unit. ( I didn’t think to do that with my other units. Likely another excuse my coffee wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be. )
The hot plate settings is pretty nice too. And the auto-shutoff feature is great. It comes with a parts reordering form too.
But really I do not mind since I think they are the reason the coffee tastes so smooth, and they are really easy to modify and not expensive.
Just have to pour a little carefully.
