Review title: good for the short life it lasts
Product review: Cuisinart DCC-1200. I bought this largely from reviews (and yes, sleek look). When it works, it makes decent coffee. But its engineered very poorly. For one thing, the water level is nearly impossible to see, unless you bend around the side. But the huge problem is that it breaks, apparently because the tube bringing the water up from the back deteriorates and/or jams. Ours did this after just a few months. And there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it, since its not an easily part to replace or to remove and clean. After checking on the Web, it appears others have had this same problem and Cuisinart coud care less. Ugh.
