Cuisinart 14-Cup Coffee Maker, Programmable PerfecTemp Glass Carafe Coffee Machine with 1-4 Cup Setting, Brew Strength Control and Pause, Stainless Steel, DCC-3200BKSNAS, Black

I originally purchased the Cuisinart DCC-3200 PerfectTemp 14-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker on October 31, 2018, for $75.92. Nearly eight years later, it still makes excellent, hot coffee. It recently began making a slight squeaking noise during the brewing cycle, so I decided to play it safe and purchase the same model again on August 2, 2026. That should say plenty about how much I like this coffee maker. It is dependable, easy to operate, makes a full 14-cup pot, and has served me well for almost eight years. I would not have bought the exact same model again if the first one had not performed so well. My only complaint is the price increase. The original cost $75.92, while the replacement cost $107.43 before tax—an increase of $31.51, or about 41%. Even with the higher price, its performance and longevity made it worth buying again. Five stars.

31Aug update — replacement arrived today. Cleaned & set it up. Gets 5 stars!!! EZ to program; sturdy, very nice stylish appearance (stainless steel), reusable screen basket. Extra nice is the ability to choose low, med, high hot plate temp setting. 24 hr programmable auto start window, beeps when brew cycle ends, auto shut off choice of 1-4hrs. It’s a keeper !!! Very happy with this one. Terrible quality control. Machine has a long 10” crack in the outside rear wall & covered with a white/gray powdery film. Should not have been sent out like that. The 14cup coffee maker looks great though, and has a hot plate to keep coffee hot, unlike the model with thermal carafe. I like it so much I returned the damaged one & await its replacement The box was not damaged at all — it was an out of box failure on the product/unit. Mistakes happen & I hope the next is in pristine condition

I love this coffee maker. We had this model for at least 5 years. Still worked perfectly but I decided I'd like to buy a new one. I was pleasantly surprised that Cuisinart still makes this coffee maker, the same as previously had, but slightly different buttons etc a bit sleeker, but same functions. It is worth the money. I'd like to buy another one just to have it in the future, as often often times, you cannot always get the same coffee maker in the future. I highly recommend this wonderful coffee maker by Cuisinart.

I ordered this coffee maker after researching it as thoroughly as possible. Much to my disappointment, the initial batches of coffee tasted like plastic. I ran carafes of filtered water through the device several times, but the taste of plastic persisted. Then I used ChatGPT to see what information was available and sure enough, this is a common problem. It would have been nice if Cuisinart had addressed this issue in the manual. This is why I am giving a 3 star rating. My next step was to use coffee cleaner, followed by 2 more carafes of filtered water. I could still smell the plastic in the filter basket, so I washed it with a strong mixture of Dawn detergent. Then I ran another carafe of water through it. That finally seems to have gotten rid of the plastic taste in brewed coffee. The entire process probably used several gallons of filtered water and took several days to complete. Otherwise, this coffee maker is well designed and of good quality. The plastic components are thick, unlike the current Moccamaster plastic parts which are thin and flimsy by comparison. (The Moccamaster also has a tube attached to the carafe lid that’s unnecessary, cumbersome and hard to wash. Their old models have a separate tube which isn’t used for the same reason.) I desperately needed a replacement coffee maker and I’m glad I persisted in my efforts to get rid of the plastic taste instead of returning it. This makes good coffee as other reviews have stated. Just be prepared to get rid of the plastic taste. UPDATE As of February 7th, I need to revise my rating to 4 stars. Except for the problem with the plastic taste I explained above, this is a high-quality product that makes good coffee. I love the 1 - 4 cup feature which is what I use to make 24 ounces of coffee. If you drink coffee black and enjoy the flavor of good coffee, you will love this feature. This makes the best coffee I've ever tasted. That said, the initial plastic taste with no mention of it in the manual is a major problem that has to be overcome.

This coffee pot is great. Coffee is hot or has a guide to choose your flavor and temp. Perfect and so easy to use. Easy cleanup and quick to make full or half pot.

This has been a great coffee maker. Its large capacity is great for when you have company it fits in a small footprint and it keeps the coffee hot! The programming is easy to use and it brews fairly quickly. I am very pleased with it.

I purchased this coffee maker in January 2022, and it lasted through April 2026, so it had a good run. I used the metal filter basket and recommend rinsing it before adding grounds - this seems to help keep silt out of the pot. I almost always grind beans rather than using ground coffee. I did not like this coffee maker in "keep warm" mode (the coffee ended up bitter and tasteless), but with a separate insulated carafe, it made great tasting coffee that was good all morning. I did use the "1 - 4 cup" setting when just making one cup, but it was hard to tell if it really made a difference. Eventually the pump on this machine stopped working, and we replaced it with a slightly smaller model. It had a fine run, though.

This BKSP1 (black stainless appearance) 14-cup coffeemaker replaced a 12+ year old Cuisinart 12-cup unit we used until it finally quit working. Great coffeemaker and it produced great coffee. My research to replace the old unit settled on the BKSP1 model and Amazon delivered straight-a-way. I got it all cleansed out, programmed and set up for begin brewing at 4:45 the next morning. It brewed a great pot of coffee and all worked wonderfully ... EXCEPT that the clock on the BKSP1 was running FAST. It had "gained" almost an hour since I had set it up the day before. Thus the coffee was actually brewed at ~3:45AM. I reset the clock and kept watching it as I would walk by the coffeemaker and noted that it was gaining time or running FAST. I went through this for several days and finally sent a message to Amazon C.S. and they immediately replaced with another BKSP1 and I returned the original unit. I went through the setup process with the #2 BKSP1 and was hopeful that the clock would keep proper time ... however it did not. The clock on the #2 BKSP1 also ran FAST. The coffeemaker worked just fine in all regards ... save for the clock running FAST. So, I reached out to Cuisinart/Conair C.S. with this "fast clock" issue and they replaced the #2 BKSP1 with the #3 BKSP1. I did all the setup with #3 and lo & behold ... the clock on the #3 BKSP1 also runs FAST. All other elements work just fine, brews great coffee, but the clock just has a mind of it's own. So (you can guess what is next), I reached out to Cuisinart/Conair C.S. (again) with the fast clock issue noted in graf above. A ticket was established and I was shipped a #4 BKSP1 to replace the #3 unit. Can you see where this is going? The #4 BKSP1 unit was set up and put into service and the clock on #4 also runs FAST. So ... it appears that there is something common going on with the BKSP1 model units. This time I called Cuisinart/Conair C.S. (I had been establishing all other tickets via the inter-web and e-mail). The lady with C.S. was simply excellent and she noted my BKSP1 ticket history and said she would have another unit shipped out straight-a-way. She asked if I still wanted the same BKSP1 model or would I want to get the SP1 model (SP1 is the brushed stainless appearance). I figured what the heck ... I would get the SP1 this time. In a couple days I received the #5 SP1, got it all set up and ready to brew coffee the next morning at 4:45. I would glance at the clock on the #5 SP1 as I walked by the unit and the clock was ACCURATE. I was again hopeful that the clock would hold and keep proper time. At 4:45AM the brew cycle started and it actually was at 4:45AM. The clock held it's accuracy for one day at that point. It has now been 3-days and the clock on the #5 SP1 is "spot on". So (there is the 'so' word again) I noted on the boxes the coffeemakers were shipped in had the countries of manufacture stamped on them. The BKSP1 units were all manufactured in China. The SP1 unit was manufactured in Indonesia. AHA - I said. There is a manufacturing plant issue going on. I did an extensive observation letter to Cuisinart/Conair about my situation and thoughts of what is going on. BTW - In addition the BKSP1 units all dripped extensive moisture droplets down the back side of the unit when the top lid was opened to removed the coffee grounds. This had me wondering if there was a leak as there was water all over the counter under the BKSP1 units. Turns out the drip lip on the upper back of the BKSP1 appears to be 'flat' without adequate slope to have the water droplets flow back into the reservoir. Also the drip lip is not as deep as what I noticed on the SP1 units. I also observed (on both the BKSP1 and SP1 models) that there is a lot of moisture condensation that collects on the upper front panel where the control buttons are located. To me this could affect the electronics that I'm guessing is located near or behind this panel. Ergo couple items of note for Cuisinart/Conair: 1) Production molds for the BKSP1 and SP1 are NOT the same between the China and Indonesia manufacturing plants. Thus the drip lip issue noted above. 2) The chips/electronics being used in the China plant for the BKSP1 are defective and can't keep proper time. All-in-all ... The Cuisinart 14-cup coffeemaker is an excellent product and works very well and produces great coffee. Save for the units (in my case) that are manufactured in China where the chips/electronics they are using just don't work. Adding to that the manufacturing mold difference that slightly changes the size of the drip lip on the upper back. I would suggest getting the the SP1 model and keep your fingers crossed that it is also manufactured in Indonesia as opposed to China. At least until such time as changes are made in the manufacturing facility in China to correct the noted issues. Cheers, Nolan K.

Muy bonito diseño y muy funcional, ideal para la casa

I've had it for a couple of years and it is an excelente machine.

Review update March 26 2020: As previously stated this coffee maker is a solid unit. Not a single complaint. Easy to operate, fill, poor....highly recommend!! Review update: Very happy with coffee maker. Not a single complaint. Don’t pay attention to the negative reviews. Have only used a few times since being delivered a few days ago but have to say I’m very happy with the DCC-3200 in black stainless to match our kitchen. The front face is stainless with plastic stainless looking sides. Still a sharp looking machine thankfully bc it lives on the counter. Display is a crisp blue with a blue ring of light around the buttons when pressed. Low, medium or high setting for carafe. Only tried Medium so far which was still quite hot. Note-the carafe pours perfectly. I’m not sure why so many others have all these spilling issues while filling tank or cup. Not a single drop spilled period. Easy to fill large water tank. Again not difficult at all to fill considering all the other reviews that state it is. Using the supplied charcoal filter with metal basket. Very happy with unit so far. Will update review in time.

Makes excellent coffee. Had it for about 2 months and working great

Wanted this machine, but on delivery has USA plug took forever to get it sorted and returned. Definitely don’t order if you live outside the USA as this is shipped from there
