This innovative machine has a variety of programming options, including automatic brewing, automatic shut-off, adjustable warming control, and a one-touch 1- to 4-cup brewing feature.

And the "Time to Clean" monitor with indicator light will help you remember when to run the cleaning cycle on your Brew Central.
The Cuisinart DCC-1200 comes complete with a gold-tone filter and measuring scoop, a coffee starter kit, and an instruction booklet to bring you the ultimate coffee experience from the moment you open the package. With the Brew Central, your next good morning will be waiting for you.
Pros: I brew a TON of coffee and generally blow through a drip maker in less than a year. Have tried everything from cheap Mr. Coffee's up to several hundred dollar Bunn's. For the price, this has been the most durable and easy to use drip pot. It brews fast, has a very good 4 cup feature for those that like strong single cups, and is easy to clean and maintain.
Cons: While the carafe may hold 12 cups, the basket cannot hold enough grounds for a decent 12 cupper. It will overflow leaving you with grounds in the carafe, water reservoir, and water filter on the other side. Not good. If you treat this like a 10 Cup pot, it will give you no problems. As with most drip pots, wish the strike water was a few degrees warmer. In that regard, this is still better than the vast majority out there.
Overall Review: Best coffee pot in the $80-$130 range.
