Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart DCC-2000 Coffee-on-Demand 12-cup Programmable Coffeemaker

Customer Review: DCC-2000 Coffeemaker - Mostly Good
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this coffeemaker for its sleek design and for the fact that it doesn't require a carafe. I've got an all stainless steel appliance kitchen and this product fits in nicely. I've had this coffeemaker nearly four years and use it daily.

It makes a good pot of coffee, which is its primary purpose. However, I've found that one can make a good pot of coffee in nearly any maker if you have good water, good coffee and know what proportions of each to use.

It never leaks, but sometimes I miss the very small fill opening. To fill the machine I keep a large measure cup on had, as it directs the pour into a narrow stream. I sometimes get in a hurry and still miss the opening. That's not a usually a huge issue or a big mess to clean up.

It's easy to clean. I pull out the reservoir and brewing basket and rinse them out before each use and do a thorough washing every few days. All very easy.

The clock is hard to read (not backlit) and setting up the auto brew is a little complicated the first couple of times. But you get used to it. The reservoir gage looks cool but is only moderately accurate.

My only complaint is that after about 2 years I noticed that the coffee wasn't very hot, even right after brewing. There is also no adjustment for the brewing or reservoir temperature. I nearly always have to microwave my cup of coffee for 30 seconds or so before I can drink it. Not good for me, as I think microwaving changes the taste of a cup of coffee and not for the better.

But it died this week. All-in-all, I got nearly four years out of a $100 coffeemaker. I guess that's not too bad in today's disposable generation. I wished it would have lasted a little longer. I think it is reasonable to expect a coffeemaker to last 5 to 6 years, but I don't think the manufacturers agree.

I'm looking for another coffeemaker now. I don't think I'm going to buy another one of the same. While I liked most things about it, two plus years of luke-warm coffee was enough.

Description of Cuisinart DCC-2000 Coffee-on-Demand 12-cup Programmable Coffeemaker

Cuisinart introduces coffee without the carafe! The Coffee on demand coffeemaker has a simple "press to serve" lever that delivers up to 12 cups of hot coffee, cup by cup, from a double wall reservoir. Our exclusive Coffee gauge on the front of the unit counts down the cups remaining. With 24-hour programmability, auto shutoff, professional brushed stainless steel housing, and clean, contemporary styling, this is one of the easiest-and almost elegant- coffeemakers on the market.
