Great Coffeemaker

This coffeemaker does everything I expect a coffeemaker to do....brews a good pot of coffee very quickly and keeps it hot until I have finished the whole pot. I have two of these, one at the office and one at home. I am very happy with them both.

Nice coffee maker

Well, what does one say about a coffee maker? It makes coffee. I agree with some other reviewers that the water fill port is located a little bit awkwardly, but this is not a huge deal. The graduation marks in the water reservoir are useless; you really can't see how much water is in there, so you need to measure out your water before pouring it in. It has some nice features. I like the programmable auto shutoff timer, and the 1-4 Cup setting really does somehow make better coffee when brewing a small amount. The black and brushed steel design matches nicely with our other kitchen appliances. Similar features and brewing quality can probably be found at a lower price point, but I guess we pay for design and build quality, too.

Worth the wait

Switched to this product from a Bunn. I gave up some speed but the coffee quality is fantastic. The coffee grind basked included works best if you just drop it in from a few inches above the slot. It keeps the coffee at perfect temperature without changing the taste even after a couple of hours.

**NOT** the same DSS-1200 as several years ago.

My 4 year old DCC 1200 sufferred from a broken carafe, and we were worried the hot plate was going too because the coffee wasn't very hot. We saw in a recent CR that the DCC1200 is the best, so we just bought a new one from Amazon. We got the dark chrome which is very nice and good for avoiding that dirty stainless steel look.

The interior design, where the water resevoir is, is different from our old one. I took it apart as a father-son project (how stuff works). They have improved the model over time, which is always a nice thing to see.

My advice to you is... we were happy enough to buy another one. We are happier with the performance of the new one.

Only complaint we've had is that it shuts off the burner before we're ready... sometimes we want another cup of coffee AFTER 2 hours. If you hear the beep, just flip the on switch again, and your old coffee will stay hot for another 2 hours.

If you see any complaints here about older DCC1200 (3 or more years old) they will not be accurate as far as what you can buy today due to changes.

Good product overall

Overall it's a good product for the money. My only preference would have been that the wide part of the reservoir would have been on the right instead of the left as most people are right handed.

Everything done WRONG!

Burned my thumb (bad design)!

Stopped working after the first brew... product is extremely cheaply made.

There is no Auto-Off switch (meaning, u can't just stop brewing.. must wait for the carafe to empty out)

very useful coffeemaker

I've had this coffeemaker for about 3 weeks. It brews a good cup of coffee in a minimum of time, is easy to use and to clean, and is perfect for one person in either a home or an office setting. The unit does make a fair amount of noise, so may not be suitable for some applications, but if you're looking for an inexpensive coffeemaker for one person, this may be it. Permanent filter and stainless steel mug with plastic interior.

Not great

It's not as good as the old one! I had an earlier version of this unit which was great. I used it almost every weekday for nine years, and it worked perfectly until the end. This new one is almost as unreliable as the old one that I had to replace when it became, well, unreliable. The unit is made for 12 ounces, but a) it doesn't pump out all of the water, and b) if you put enough coffee in for a 12 ounce cup the grounds spill out into the reservoir and splash up on the inside of the cover. Summary: the earlier version made a perfect 10 ounce cup of coffee EVERY time until it wore out. This model is iffy - when it works right it makes a good 10 ounce cup of coffee, but it's not good for a bigger cup, and even the 10 ounce cup is unreliable. Interestingly, the unit that I bought in 2001 cost about $20 as did this 2010 unit!

Great Machine

I've previously written a review for a machine of a different brand and that model was a very good one, however, there were some issues that we realized it had after we used it for a while which I won't discuss here since it isn't relevant to this machine. First thing I want to say is that we love this machine. I'm not quite a coffee connoisseur but I do appreciate the taste of a nice flavorful cup of coffee and this machine does just that. I've learned a lot about what it takes to get that flavorful cup and this machine seems to have all it takes to do that. The coffee is hot and stays hot for quite a while after it brews. In my house coffee doesn't last too long in the pot to begin with... so hot is not really a problem. My problem was finding a machine to get us that great taste that you find in your favorite diner or restaurant. I like the idea of the stainless carafe as opposed to the hot plate and I can say that this carafe is quality built. Stainless steel inside and out and although the coffee is hot on the inside... the outside of the carafe remains cool to the touch which tells me that this is well insulated. I've had a cup of coffee one hour after we brewed and it was still plenty hot to drink. The machine is very easy to use and maintain. And as far as the #4 filters sticking up out of the basket... please, don't these people have anything else worth complaining about... in other words... it's not a problem. They really don't stick out... just tuck the slight bit under. The machine works fine and we never once had a problem with overflow of water or coffee coming out of the basket. If you set up the machine right, and it doesn't take a person with an engineering masters to do it, then you will be pleased with a great tasting result. My wife likes the simple design which is a bonus for me since the machine fitting in with the kitchen is important as well (to her anyway...:) ) Bottom line, try it out. We are glad we did.

Great product, needs some modifications for ease of use

We love this coffee maker, especially the thermal carafe, and ease of making coffee. I would purchase it again. My comments are that several features could be improved: First, the water temperature doesn't seem as hot as our previous coffee maker. One must warm the carafe with really hot water, after just having used it to pour cold water in the receptacle, before making a pot of coffee, or the coffee is not hot enough. Second, the flat, screw-top lid is difficult to turn to open and pour for your first cup - we have resorted to using flat rubberized jar openers to get at that first cup of brew. We may be weak, but I suspect making the lid so flat, with "helpful?" projections is the problem. Third, if you don't put the small extra lid on after making the coffee, it will cool off quite fast. But these are engineering / ergonomic points that don't interfere with the quality, once you get the hang of it.

great coffee

This coffee maker gives me the best cup of coffee I have ever been able to make at home and does it quickly. I have ground my beans and bought good coffee for years and finally enjoy the result. It is easy to clean and use. The carafe will keep the coffee reasonably hot/warm for up to three hours. If I want to make that longer I put boiling water in the carafe for several minutes before I turn the maker on. The only drawback (not for me) might be the height of the unit when the lid is up, 24 inches. Down it easily fits under the upper cabinets in the kitchen. I think you would have to spend a lot more money to get a coffee maker that would make a better cup of coffee.

Better than most.

This coffee maker is a replacement for one I bought new, that lasted just one week. That brand shall remain nameless. But, I read Consumers Report and they rated this one pretty high, so I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did because it's a good one, and I think CU is right on this one.

Some of the problems with it is the inability to find many of them on the local store shelves to sample before you buy. But I went on-line, and found a local dealer and went down to take a look. The unit first appear to be cheaply made because it is so light in weight, but it is not cheaply made by any standards. I think it is lighter because it is simpler, which means eaiser to maintain. It come apart easily for cleaning, unlike most of the others.

Many of the coffee makers I looked at had such a small area or opening to pour the water in. It is such a hassle to have to fight your coffee maker every night just to have it ready to go the next morning. I like the wide opening on this one.

Many complain about the small brew basket that does not hold a #4 cone just right. And I agree. What happens is the paper filter usually pushes the brew basket lift handle up just a bit, and when you swing the water nozzle back into place, it grabs the lift handle. I just push the paper down in the basket a little and learned to live with it. It is my only complaint on this model, and when you get some of these coffee makers home, and have to fight with all their problems every night, this little miss-design is really not so bad compared to others. But ultimately, the basket needs a redesign, and about a half an inch added to it.

My only other slight complaint is the carafe lid. You have to line up the dots on the lid just so when pouring your cup, or the coffee just kinda dribbles out.

Like I said, this one has it's little faults, that you learn to live with, but compared to the other I have had, and they were not cheap, this one is a winner.

Great little coffee maker

Works great! Not having the problems others have experienced. The coffee is hot & the clock/timer hasn't lost time yet (been using over two months). I'll change this if something negative happens - but as of now I would definitely recommend (I also bought the filter basket to go with it to save on buying paper filters).

replaced my delonghi

Again wanted a programmable coffee maker! This replaced my thermal Delonghi style (no longer made).
I always check the time, and reset it if needed. So far the only complaint I have, is pause and brew feature!
so to make it work without feature I removed the plunger and the carafe cover.
Honestly I preferred the 5 cup model
the maker(sometimes it seems to run slow).
I use a permanent filter and one paper filter it makes cleanup much easier.
So far so happy and glad, to have my coffee ready when I wake! I don't understand the clock complaints from
others? You can make the coffee an hour before waking, it will stay hot 2 hrs after it brews?
I bought these 2 more as spares in case my 5 cup dies. I usually transfer my brewed coffee to a thermal
mug anyway and shut the coffee maker off.

Disappointing quality

I have previously owned several Mr. Coffee products and had been satisfied with all of them; however, this coffee maker developed cracks on both sides at the junction between the black plastic and the transparent plastic within two months. Appears to be a design defect - very disappointing.

BUNN ain't what it used to be.

I always had a Bunn coffee maker. My 5 yr old Bunn GR10 finally lost its ability to maintain a hot cup of coffee. The new NHBX 10 is the replacement. Bunn claims that the internal water temp is 200 degrees and is at the ideal level for perfect brewed coffee. I measured the water temp in the carafe and it was 180 degrees. The coffee is not hot enough. In hindsight, knowing what I know now, I would not buy this, as my coffee is not super hot and does not stay hot. If you want hot coffee, buy a commercial coffeemaker. Stay away from consumer grade coffee makers.

Bunn is the best

What needs said? If you know Bunn coffeemakers you don't need me to tell you about them. If you don't and you want to spend a little more on a coffeemaker and if you want a quick perfect cup of coffee then get one. You won't be sorry. One word of advice though, get the Bunn filters as well. They actually do make a difference. The water pumps out pretty quick when it brews and most of the filters I have tried cannot pass the water fast enough to keep the grinds from washing out of the basket and into your coffee. Not a problem with the Bunn branded filters.

The only coffee brewer that should be in your home!

I roast my own coffee at home and this BUNN is the only coffee maker that has the honor of brewing my coffee. Sorry if I sound like a snob, but I drink my coffee black and the coffee just tastes better when brewed in a BUNN. All of my friends and family that come over absolutely love my coffee and actually drink it black when they normally load up with cream and sugar (calories and fat too!). So one could say if you are on a diet, then this is a must have!

No other coffee brewer heats the water as hot as this BUNN. Sure its more than that cheap $30 coffee maker at k mart, but there are also plenty of other coffee makers that are well over $100 and are no better than the $30 brewers - they just don't get hot enough. Also, like many so-called "12 cup brewers", the filter basket is not nearly big enough to fit 12 cups worth of coffee. If you are lucky, you can get 6-8 cups worth of coffee grounds. They should really be called: "Really expensive, extremely weak 12-cup coffee ruiner". At least that is not false advertising.

Technical Greatness:

- BUNN brewers also have a unique spray head that sprays water out in 5 streams to create the right amount of turbulence, rather than a slow drip like every other brewer.

- The water is heated in a stainless steel reservoir rather than toxic plastic tank.

- You pour the water from the front and don't have to open a hundred different secret compartments like all the other brewers and not have to worry about pouring water into the guts of the machine. The filter basket is also in the front and slides out with ease.

- No timer. Yes, that is a good thing! The water is always ready for you and this coffee is ready to go in under 3 minutes. Swivel open the top, pour the water in, put the decanter in place, close the lid and 200 degree F water immediately starts to saturate your grounds. Plus, do you really want your coffee sitting around on the burner, getting burned, while you are in bed smashing the snooze button. You can brew a whole pot of coffee in the time that it takes a pod-type brewer to make just one cup. And this is no exaggeration.

Do yourself a favor; spend the extra money NOW and buy this BUNN (or any other for that matter) and it will last for many years to come. We all know the cheap ones do not stay hot for very long and you end up throwing it out. So eventually, you will spend more than the cost of this BUNN.

Bunn is simply the best.

After 5 years, our last Bunn was retired. We purchased this one to replace it and can't be happier. Some of the complaints I've seen on these reviews are ridiculous (high energy costs, coffee not warm, etc.). Don't know anyone who has ever had a problem with a Bunn. Best, quickest, tastiest coffee maker on the market. Enjoy!
