SadJack: After 5 years of daily use, my Cuisinart Coffee Maker, 14-Cup Glass Carafe started to leak from the water tank. I pulled out my backup that I bought in 2021 from my garage and put it to work.

To have a Coffee Maker last more than a couple of years of daily use is pretty good in my opinion. The daily expansion and contraction of the plastic will take its toll.

I feel this is one of the best coffee makers I've ever had. It brews great coffee. I prefer coffee makers that use the cone filter versus the basket filter that you see in the Mr. Coffee or Bunn machines.

The only coffee maker that's better is the Aero coffee maker, but the Cuisinart is so much more convenient! That's why I bought another as a backup for when this one finally dies (in my estimation, it will be in 2028 or 2029).

Trish Fitzpatrick: This is the fourth Cuisinart Coffeemaker I've purchased in the last decade and I've loved all of them. We brew a large pot one or more times a day and many times we've screwed up (using the wrong grind, leaving the carafe out when brewing, etc.) but this unit is tough.

Eventually because of our user error, the hot plate degrades and I've been fearful of causing a fire. We always "time set" our brewing for 5 AM and I'm paranoid about burning the house down so I think of a new unit as "peace of mind insurance". Still, even though we have three "retired" units, they still work and are great for luncheons since I can set up four different coffees like flavored, plain, decaffeination, and so on.

To save on our present machine, we immediately decant the coffee to a thermos carafe and turn the unit off. We're using an Air Pot (102 oz) to hold the coffee. As long as we run very hot water into the Air Pot before adding the coffee, it will hold at temperature for the whole day!

Supersonic Sweetheart: Expensive compared to other brand machines that have similar functions but I would not choice differently If I could go again.

Easy to set up and clean. Simple and elegant design that looks good on the counter next to our other dark grey appliances.

Plenty of options on how to brew the coffee. Comes out great (recommend mcdonalds grounds personally)

Read 5+ review sites on different machines and all of them agree that this is one of the best automatic coffee machines before heading into the $1000 ones.

Lia: I chose this specific model as I was tired of so many other coffeemakers whose coffee is already lukewarm by the time you fill your cup. I want it HOT. I don't want to have to microwave my coffee right after making it (and adding a splash of milk). This machine delivers. Nice, piping hot coffee, with a setting to keep the carafe hot after brewing. LOVE it! Also really easy to use, simple, intuitive buttons, I like that I can set the strength to "Bold". I see what others are saying about the lid on the carafe, but honestly, it's a minor thing, doesn't bother me. They should improve that on future models to a carafe lid that you can open/close with one hand, but for the tradeoff of really HOT coffee, I'm happy.

L. SnowL. Snow: We've replaced an older Cuisinart DCC-1200 with this DCC-3200. Since it's a popular line, I thought others might be interested in how they compare. (In the attached comparison photos, the 1200 is on the left and the 3200 is on the right):

Taste: Coffee in the 3200 is more flavorful. A new machine might be expected to be better, but I think they've gotten the flow and temperature of the brewing process better.
Temperature: The brewed coffee is much hotter. Both units have three temperature settings for the hot plate, but the settings on the 3200 are hotter.

Size and Capacity. The 3200 handles 14 cups compared to the 1200's 12 cups. Yet as you can see from the photos, they are the same height to fit on a counter. They seem to get the extra capacity by making the 3200 a little deeper from front to back. We've been surprised at how useful the extra capacity is.

Carafe: The new glass carafe is just like the old one, only larger. It pours nicely with or without the lid on it. The new lid works the same as the old one, popping off and on. (I read some complaints about the lid on an intervening model with a spring opening, but if so, they fixed that by going back...

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: After doing a LOT of research, I decided to order this coffee maker. Taking into account the negative reviews, my personal experience is a mix but mostly on the positive side.

Some of the reviews mention the plastic smell/taste. It WAS there but only for the first few pots. After the first few, it's totally gone. And regarding the quickness of how fast it makes coffee. It works well enough for me. It's done before I know it. It's got a lot of really nice features and it brews coffee hotter than any other coffee maker I have ever had. AND It's about the only one with this capacity in this price range.

I run filtered water and in combination with the in-machine charcoal filters, it makes a darn good cup. And by the way, I picked up a pack of these filters http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013H3UMEU and they work great. Plus, they are WAY less than the Cuisinart brand ones.

The only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is for one reason. When you go to fill the water reservoir, the lid doesn't open far enough to use the coffee pot. You have to get real creative when you reach the end of the pour. Is that a deal killer? Not really, it's just a minor annoyance and the...
