Features of Cuisinart DCC-1200 12-Cup Brew Central Coffee Maker

This coffee maker has an advantage of an attached 24 hour timer. You can time your morning coffee according to your usual waking up time and plan your evening coffee too. It is a simple to use timer. You can pause brewing, whenever you are interrupted by some work and resume coffee brewing when you are free. The brewing takes little time. It takes about a minute for preparing one cup of steaming hot coffee.

You can also program the timer for shutting off the coffee machine. When the glass flask is removed from the warming plate, the plate stops heating automatically for a quick pour of coffee. You can also decide the heating temperature for the warming plate at low, medium or high. Low and medium, normally, work well for black coffee brewing while milky coffee tastes best at highest heating.

The DCC-1200 also offers a setting to keep the coffee hot when you are brewing 1 to 4 cups. You can decide the time for which the warming plate should stay on in order to keep the coffee hot. When your coffee is done, the machine beeps five times and shuts off the warming plate automatically.

The coffee machine also comes with a decalcification indicator and a charcoal water filter designed to improve the flavor of the coffee.
