Review title: Expensive, Average, Defective!
Product review: I had my DC-1200BW for about 4 months before it stopped operating. The water wouldn't make it to the top of the dispensing unit, so it would just steam away inside the heating element without dripping down onto the grounds. I assume something got stuck in the hose (or the hose broke), but I kept the device clean and only used it for 2 pots a week. There isn't anything user servicable inside of the unit so I'm pretty much stuck with it.The coffee quality was alright. I was not blown away when it was working, and the carbon filter thing really didn't make any taste difference. My traditional french press definitely made superior coffee. This is with premium, home-ground beans from Peets or Starbucks.I have had great luck with Cuisinart products in the past but this one was expensive and eventually defective.I ended up going to Target and buying a cheap-o $20 Mr. Coffee as a replacement and the quality of the brewed coffee is about the same.
