We loved the modern look and minimal design of the Cuisinart DCC1120 Classic Programmable Coffeemaker, and that it brewed coffee to a higher temperature than the DCC1200. But it produced bitter brews that lacked sweetness and balance, and it lost an average of about 8 ounces of volume per 12-cup batch. The carafe’s measurements also didn’t correspond exactly to the figures in the water reservoir, which is likely why the coffee quality suffered.
(Which might make you feel better about getting a new machine if yours dies within warranty.) Another way to lengthen the life of your coffee maker is to clean it regularly. Other elements we paid attention to included how easy the water reservoir was to fill, how the carafe felt in the hand both empty and full, and the footprint as well as the aesthetics of the machines. We bought a coffee pot and within a few months it started leaking water.
