The retro style of the Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-cup brew central coffeemaker was what first got me to notice it.
I love anything retro, and this coffeemaker is just screaming of everything vintage, especially the black stainless steel design.
But of course, it took more than retro before I bought this.
With the previous coffeemakers I bought, I thought there was something wrong with the coffee.
Somehow I was not that satisfied with my morning coffee, so I figured there must be something wrong with the brand of coffee I used to buy.
So I switched to different coffee brands but still I knew there was something wrong with my coffee.
One time, I decided to seek the help of a trusty sales clerk, and from our conversation I found out that it's possible there's absolutely nothing wrong with my coffee, but my coffeemaker.
I was surprised, and initially I thought that he was just trying to sell me a coffeemake, which he did, but I still figured it was worth the shot at another coffeemaker, than to suffer forever with bad morning coffee.
I purchased the DCC-1200 from Cuisinart, the black stainless steel as I've mentioned before, and my coffee experience has never been the same.
Coffee from this machine is so much better-tasting, richer, and has richer aroma.
Also the features are great.
There are 1-4 cup selection, there's a water filter you can choose to use or not use, and has the best carafe I've ever used.
Of course, as I've mentioned before what I love is the retro design, especially the dials! It not only works perfectly, but I love how it looks in my kitchen, looking all vintage and shiny and cool.
I love the Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-cup brew central coffeemaker, and it's definitely worth the extra dollars it costs.
