Don't even THINK about copying my work you lazy plagiarizing scumbags! I will ding you with a copyright claim without hesitation.
Thank you sooo much for this 1 year review lol I’ve been looking for a new coffeemaker for 3 days now and those bad reviews every where have made it hard for me to go with ANY option I find. Your honesty and realistic feedback is so appreciated. And you made me laugh which I’m very grateful for too haha. Keep it up! So refreshing
Great review! Love your humor. Excellent, I watched your review because I need a new coffee maker - you made up my mind. Thanks!
Love your sense of humor!
Thanks for the nice review Rocket! I received a DCC 3200 for Christmas from my kids, who think I need a new one. I have a Mr. Coffee, which is working perfectly at this time, and really doesn't need replacing . Mine is just a 12 cup, but it's enough for me. It's been working fine for the last year and a half, so I'll keep the DCC for later, when Mr. Coffee goes South! Thanks again.
At last, a coffee maker review where you can actually see the steam rising from the pot and the cup, most others look like it's lukewarm at best. Really good review, well done.
Thanks! Been a few years now and it's still working flawlessly!
Best review I've seen so far. And not only for this coffee maker specifically. Good job!
Thanks so much!
Lol, your cleaning of the carafe towards the end was funny!! Great music, too. 😀 Very good points about the strengths of the product. Thank you for taking the time to include your tip about the importance of running the brew cycle10 times using only water to ensure any manufacturing smells are removed. The tip to keep an eye out for lower prices was good, too. You also made some great points about the very few weak points found in this product. Luckily, as of May 2020, Amazon is offering a four-year $14 warranty which begins once the manufacturer's one-year warranty expires. They also offer a $5 discount, so I look at the warranty as a $9 cost. The warranty includes any defects such as the plate peeling problem, and it includes shipping, which, when it comes to a coffee maker of this size, can be expensive. I was already going to purchase this product, but your review helped me to feel super confident about buying a great product. Thank you! 😀
this was really well done! maybe the only full-length review where i was not bored! you were really funny while clearly explaining the pros and cons of the maker. this deserves a sub!
Hey thanks! I really should make some more... been a while.
@@RocketScientist if you do i'll know! I subbed :)
I haven't laughed this hard watching a review in maybe never, lol. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your review. I came looking for a review of this model and brand of coffee maker. Thanks for making this.
Cool channel with real life evaluation on everyday tasks and products. Interesting some of the opinions that are out there in the comment section on videos and product evaluation. All the Best to you
Awesome job! Love your attitude and presentation. Thanks for the detailed descriptions and comparisons. Buying today. Love our Krups as well! We've subscribed! Have an awesome day!
Why thank you, fellow Hoosier! You too!
Very good review! I’m thinking of getting one of these.
1st time watching Rocket Scientist, love the humor, needed that! Thank you! 😁👍
Great video! Love your reviewing style.
DamianArnold why thank you!
Just going back through older comments... Anything else you think I should review?
I loved this video. Just came across your channel. Love your style!
Why thank you!
We stopped using thoae filters in our machine also. I personally felt like my coffee tasted like it had bleach. My husband agreed also. Our coffe tasted great after we took it out
Awesome review..... thought I was hearing myself talk, definitely feel the same way about this machine.
Haha Thanks! The last guy said I have a voice for magazine articles..
Thanks. Cool review
Got a good laugh out of this. Thanks for the review.
Great video! Thank you!
Great review!
Hi you are hilarious.... I just got my fathers old DCC3200. No manual but you did help me figure out how to take the top of the carafe off and answered my ? on the water filter. I am sure that is what took your 2 cups of water. Thank you for the demonstration. Going to check out the KRUP grinder also. ;-)
Thanks Barbara! Glad I could help!
Excellent review. Your style is refreshing and realistic. Nicely done, sir.
I'm a coffee hound but not a brew snob. I use the same grinder - for all kinds of things. Tap water, too. My old 1200 is starting to act up thus I'll being getting this 3200 to replace it.
By the way, one can get third party filters for these coffeemakers on Amazon that are dramatically less expensive than the Cuisinart brand. I use them because our local water is heavy in minerals. I'm too lazy to do the filtered water thing.
Thank you for the review.
Gaylon H I'm so cheap I use the 1000 pack of paper cones from Costco. Thanks so much for your comments!
is there one you would recommend?
Love your video! Coffee snobs... hilarious!!!
Cool review! You're a hoot!
Great Review!
great review
Really charismatic dude! Great review.
haha thanks!
Loved the review 👍😂
Nice review. Probably going to pick one up. In the past 5 years I've been through a Calphalon and a Mr. Coffee with similar features. Both failed under a far less work regimen than what you run. We'll give the Cusinart a go. Thx for vid. 👍
Awesome! Coming up on 3 1/2 years, mines still going strong! Hope you enjoy it!
Please let me know if you like it?
Love my Cuisinart. The best.
Take note of the small opening available to add water to the reservoir (around 5:00 into video). At just prior to 6:00 he adds water with an extendable spigot. If you have this option and don't mind using unfiltered water this may alleviate this issue for you. Alternatively, one could use a separate carafe with a narrow spout. I own an older model (DCC1200) and did not like this small "target" for adding water. I typically fill the carafe from the refrigerator's filtered water dispenser and then pour the water into the coffee maker. Spillage was a common issue. Another annoyance was the carafe top. It must be removed as a two-handed operation as opposed to a one-handed, thumb actuated flip top like many other models. Consumer Reports reviewers have also mentioned excessive steam, post-brewing, which may make it unsuitable for typical under-cabinet use as the steam may damage the cabinets above. This said, I'm not sure that this would not be an issue with any such coffee maker. The end product (coffee) is perfectly fine. I would assess the machine's reliability as above average. I only take issue with the ergonomics of the design.
Sigrun Hulshouser All good points I'd agree with! That faucet has been a lifesaver. I hate Cuisinart's carafe design. It's like it specifically made to spill on purpose.
Now that the new Cuisinart coffee center is out, will there be a matching copper microwave to match please I've got to know. And When?? 💖 💖 💖 💖
Awesome review. Love the honesty. Especially towards the coffee snobs and the never-can-please negative reviewers. I can't believe someone complained that coffee remnants end up back in the reservoir lmfao.
J Sisk Thank you!
Great video! Thank you. :)
"I don't want to hear it, I don't care." @7:11 I absolutely love that. You do you, Rocket Scientist! @10:41 I LAUGHED SO HARD.
haha thanks!
Awesome review. Keep keeping it real Rocket Scientist.
Great review. I bought one after watching this. I posted my own review and overview of it.
Techtropolis thank you! Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the great review. I found a slightly used one from Goodwill for $10. I do pour over coffee and enjoy it that way, but get frustrating when the wifey asks for another cup. I think it's a good find considering the price of a new one at Amazon. This should solve the caffeine crisis at home 😂
You have so much personality lol subbed
Iria haha thanks
Comedian!!! Love it.
Nice review - have you ever used Brew Rite Coffee maker cleaner to clean your machine? Just curious - I read vinegar does not really remove lime and CLR is a no no in Cuisinarts. i bought this and so far love it. How often do you clean yours?
David Bublitz Hey! Thanks man! Never tried that cleaner stuff. The frequency at which I deep clean my machine is both abusive and neglectful. Maybe twice a year if that, straight vinegar. Never had a problem.
You cracked me up when you started calling out the coffee snobs and the complaining reviews.
My Cuisinart is 7 or 8 years old. Got it at Sam's Club for about $50. Still works perfect. Bought another one last year at Sam's club on clearance for about $50. In the box in the laundry room ready to go after the funeral for number one. Like you when I get on something that works really well for me I stick with it. I also have a Cuisinart microwave oven and can opener. HIGHLY RECOMMEND also.....................
Michael Turnipseed As I lowered my old Cuisinart into the cold depths of the trash can, I swear I could hear the soft notes of Taps being played in the distance..
No doubt I will hear the same and I am in NO rush to get there. They are built well. BREW ON.............................
You're right when it comes to the pour spout I think I'll carafes are that way because I've had issues with other carafe that if you don't pour a certain way it is spilled all over the place and you're right again on that heat plate it needs to be reinvented because they do get rusty smart idea in regards to putting vent underneath☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕☕
Great review 😂
You’re just too funny lol can you please make more reviews of things
I bought this like 8 months ago when I was deciding which coffee maker to get. So after seeing your review, I couldn’t forget your humour and honestly it’s made my experience better of this coffee maker and I think of you now some mornings lol 😂
went i cleaned my coffee maker, after the vinegar, i put clean water in the machine to rinse and two cups came through and the rest leaked our all over my counter, power went off and never went back on, its been two days and no power at all, any idea what happened to it, i think the machine was still hot when i put the rinse water in to the pot and maybe should have waited until pot was cold?
4:11 I see that this can be warmed with a setting for up to 4 hrs. Are you saying that once this shuts off after that 4th 'warming' hour....one can turn it back on to keep that very same coffee warm for another 4 hours again? ..and so on and so on??
I read somewhere that the hotplate can be programmed to remain hot for 0 to 4 hours but can't find any instructions on how to do it. It's frustrating. My fiancé bought this exact same unit a few weeks ago and despite the carafe temperature set to High, the coffee gets cold after 30 minutes past its brew time. How do we fix this? Appreciate your help.
Forgot to tell you I love my cuisinart also. Clean it out once a month with vinegar using 4 cups of water with the first pot standing for a couple of hours to break up the calcium buildup and then remaining to rinse. Yummy coffee.
did you wait for the machine to cool down before you put the rinse water in?
How come the PM sign is not coming up when starting programming the time of the moment is pushing in
Haha, great review!
Unicorns and Rainbows Keeping it 100 why thank you!
lmao love your review. thanks!
Thank YOU!
How does one use the 4 cup button feature? No matter if the button is pressed or not, it will always brew a full cup of coffee. So what does that button actually do or how does one use it to only brew a few cups and not the whole carafe?
If I understand the directions correctly, it brews slower, thus making a smaller amount of water hotter if you're only making 1 to 4 cups with less grounds than a full pot. I never make that small of an amount, but it works for a full pot too and makes it noticeably more robust. Trade off is it takes twice as long.
Filter is to help with calcium build up. I don't use the filters and use filtered water instead.
Viet Tran hmm. no problems so far.. but I think i might try running some brew rite through it... just for the heck of it.
In my Farberware's manual I read the charcoal filter is to help remove chlorine taste from tap water, think of it as a taste and odor cartridge of sorts.
Hey Rocket, have you noticed coffee grounds accumulating between the filter basket and the area where the basket sits? I just purchased this maker two days ago and after this mornings coffee I went to dump out the grounds and notice grounds were packed inside the area where the basket sits.
Yeah it happens to mine sometimes, usually when someone else makes the coffee besides me. I cant tell if its overfilled with grounds, or they're ground too fine where they float up faster than they absorb water. I take the lid off the pot, put it on the hot plate, and wash it into the pot with some water and dump it. Its a pain. I did find that if you use the 1-4 cup button, the water brews hotter and more slowly which takes care of this issue in either case.
LMAO LOVE ATTITUDE!!! Thanks just got one P
Would you happen to know if there is an updated model that has solved any of these issues you mentioned?
I want to order this but am unsure over the condensation that covers the front of the coffee maker.
Not sure. I still have this one and it's still doing great, so maybe it's not a problem after all?
Please subscribe to my channel! I could use all the help I can get!
Rocket Scientist lol
Done 👍
Question.... just got one of these.... only made 2 pots so far... makes good coffee... I have been using starbucks sumatra... with paper filter.... Only question.... on day two I went to make coffee and opened the lid... the entire inside of the coffeemaker was covered in condensation.... this was 24 hours later... we had taken the paper filter out the day before... So is this normal to have that much condensation ? are we missing something... do we need to wipe out the inside and the lid... or keep the lid open and let it air dry ?
Michael Derry it's normal. Mine does it too. I don't even bother wiping it anymore since I use the machine at least twice a day
Your GREAT!
Why thank you! Any relation to Quentin?
No relation I am aware of. And...no invites to his parties. A shame; I absolutely love his mind. Scary huh?
That was great! xD
THANKS IM GOIN TO TARGET AND BUY ONE
Mine gave out after 14 months. I, like you, had an 1100 that lasted 8 years. Thought about going back to that but this machine makes such damn good coffee and it’s actually $15 cheaper than when I bought my first copy of it in January of last year. Hoping this one lasts longer. BTW, for those that are reading, do not waste your time with the lower-priced DCC-500. It makes crap coffee compared to both the 1100 and especially this one.
Sv 2016 Just crossed the 2 year mark, still going strong! Thanks for watching!
Jennie Carlson is using your footage and doing a voice-over review on this coffee maker. FYI
And I found a second one of the same thing too! Thanks so much for letting me know! You're the best!
I was dying when he started washing it and was fake crying. lol thank for making this.
My pleasure
@@RocketScientist thanks for response. Your awesome!
Thanks I think I'm going to get it, FYI real stainless magnet won't stick to it
good deal! This is appliance grade stainless same as a fridge. Not the same metallurgy as a higher non magnetic grade. Just pointing out that its not plastic that looks like steel. Thanks for your comments!
There are many many many types of stainless that can be divided into several main groups. 2 groups (i think) of them are magnetic so not all stainless is non-magnetic.
littlegoobie yeah! and besides, who would want a fridge that you couldn't stick magnets to anyway!
Is it loud? I just bought a Nija and I like it but it’s so loud during the brewing process. It does something called blooming which means it pulsates the water into the coffee grounds. It does it every 3 seconds, stopping and pumping, so you hear the loud brewing water pumping. I’ve had it a week and I’m ready to trade it for this one. But I’m seeing reviews about peeling and rusting on the warming plate after a year. Any thoughts?
It pops a little toward the end of a brew cycle, not enough to bother me.. my dog doesn't like it very much..
Can you tell me who makes paper filters with for this 3200 with higher sides ,so I can put more grinds in it ?
No idea. I think a #6 is a bit larger..
Has your clean light come on? Mine does ALL the time. I change the filter, I run the water through a free times, and then it comes back on. . . .it seems to change the taste of the coffee.
Never really noticed. To be honest I didn't even know it had one.
Love you video! Say it like it is :) Please color some eyes on your hand when talking. I love it! You are awesome!
Glad I could lend a helping hand! Badummm tshhhh!
I would like to know how to keep the coffee hot after brewing. My wife insists on keeping the brew button on, but I think we should only choose the level of carafe temperature without pressing any buttons after the brewing. Could you tell me what to do? Thank you.
the brew button is on/off. the temp button just sets the temp, nothing else. Wife is correct.. Sorry pal!
@@RocketScientist thank you. I like your video, especially the part that you made fun of those people complaining about that they have to wash the carafe manually
@@davidchen6401 Thanks man! Enjoy your coffee!
Question - what is your ratio for coffee to water to make a good cup of coffee?? Just curious
Well, It's not an exact ratio. That grinder I used in the video... I heap that over until beans spill on the counter, grind it, dump it in, and add 12 cups of water. If I really need some serious wake-up juice I'll pour a cup from a half-brewed pot when it's nice n thick. Pretty much I'm not satisfied unless I have heart palpitations from it. I may have a slight caffeine addiction, not sure.
Ok - i buy ground coffee so was hoping you might know roughly how many tablespoons that is to 12 cups water.....thanks
Did you say go make a fresh pot? Well that's what I read. I measured it out for ya just now. 18 Tbs leveled off with my finger. Hey, now I know what to tell others when they ask! thanks David B!
I like mine stronger than most people and the most coffee i can get out of a #4 cone is 7 cups of water going in, resulting in 6 "cups" in the pot. This is with the coffee cone filled about 3/4" from the top and it expands to the very top when done. If i use any more water than 7 "cups", i find the coffee too watered down like restaurnat coffee. The way i look at it, you compare it to a real espresso machine, the ratio of coffee beans used to coffee extracted is around 1:1 so how is it possible to get 3/4 gallon of good coffee from less than 1 cup of ground beans?
lol @ coffee snobs. I don't even drink coffee yet (reason I'm watching reviews) and was like, "THAT'S how he's filling his machine?" Nevertheless, great review.
conquestlife haha thanks! Whats really funny is I have a water jug machine 5 feet away from the coffee pot and I dont use it. Cheers!
Do you know Dakota
UPDATE. I just ordered the same one you have at Wal Mart online for $80. Mine just turned 14 years old December 2nd (I found the receipt) and the 1-4 button on mine is starting to give out. Otherwise I used it as late as this morning. The other new one is still in the box in the laundry room but I just wanted something different. We'll see. Yours still going strong??
Well.. yes and no... I have since moved a little over 5 years ago and now I'm on really hard well water. The well water killed it almost immediately. Up until I moved, it worked perfectly, so I don't blame the machine. Got a replacement, same model. Installed filters on my water main and its been good since! Just need to clean it more often is all..
@@RocketScientist Understood. I always run filtered water. That may be one reason I have had the longevity.......
so how is it so far? You still using it? or did you have to purchase another one? I just bought one, shipped, and it's not delivered yet.
Still using it! It's been excellent!
I never put the pot in the dishwasher. Always wash by hand.
You're getting less coffee due to grounds absorbing water
👍👍HAHAHA!!..great Review
Let's say you have the carafe-plate temperature set for (M) medium and set for 4 hrs.to keep the coffee warm after it's been made. But then after the 1st hour....you decide that you want to increase the temp and change the "keep warm plate" temperature to a higher setting? (Example: From (M) medium....to (H) High.) Can we change the "keep warm plate" temp setting AFTER the coffee is already made?? Thanks, Rocket guy ;) 🤗 🚀
Sylvia Yep! Turn the it off, select desired temp, then turn it on again. It will beep again like it just finished, but the temp will be whatever you set it at while off.
I'm sure it's a typo...but when you said "Turn the it off" what is "the it" ? Also, won't turning the 'on' button make the machine start making coffee again? (it can't possibly be THAT intuitive? lol This thing is smarter than me!!! ouch. lol
"it" was indeed a typo. Once it's done it's not going to brew more coffee unless you add more water.
Thanks! I was worried if I didn't add water...that the machine would break. This thing is expensive and even though I got it on Black Friday...I didn't want to break it quite so soon! lol Thanks again. :)
I purchased one for $51 had a small ding on the side
Will the bottom plate rust after a while?...
My old one did. This one is starting to get worn but it's not rusty yet. I'd imagine it will eventually.
@@RocketScientist Yeah, I notice it's going to rust after watching pass halfway video.. My coffee maker bought from Walmart, still works, but the hotplate rusted bad, I cleaned out the rust once but it came back..
It would have been nice if you would have shown how to set the timer for preset coffee : (........but! You are really funny. Lol.....talk to the hand???
I have this problem with my machine where the basket filter holder gets jammed or something. Like liquid is not coming down the hole whenever I brew coffee or wash the machine. Anyone know what gives?
Jimmy it's a pretty simple spring valve at the bottom. As long as it still moves freely, should be good. It will not flow unless it's seated all the way in the machine. Make sure it's facing the correct way and push to make sure it's all the way in. At least that was the problem last time I created a coffee waterfall.
It's pushed all the way, facing the same way as your machine. I called the company and they sent me multiple baskets but it still seems like it won't work.
Jimmy hmm.. Are you using a different carafe that's not as tall as the original?
I'm using everything that came with the box. So i don't think so
Jimmy Dang, OK.. Grounds too fine? Charcoal filter plugged? Well water with sediment or scale plugging things up? If it's none of those, I'm out of ideas.
dude you are hilarious!
Funny, you addressed social media opinionated trash talkers (because you know they're coming) My wife and I are in the market for a coffee machine, so here I am. Good review.
Amazon is full of counterfeit on popular brands.....I hear it all the time. If you're getting a good deal, it's probably a fake.
How or when does the hot plate turn off?
2hrs. It shuts off automatically
Rocket Scientist thanks, and the unit has to be left on obviously for the plate to stay on for the two hours, right?
@@russellbehrman correct
Thanks bro
Dude, I have the exact same coffee maker that I bought for $59.99 at Costco, though that was like 4 years ago. Now Costco has a similar but different model for that price. This same model is $98 now on Amazon, go figure.
Ok so I got this same pot, and I love it. I as well decided to do away with the charcoal filter. I didn't think there was a difference and didn't feel like spending money to replace them. I do have a question though. I haven't had this for a year yet, and I have noticed that the coffee is only brewing small portions at a time. I'll fill it for 10-12 cups but only brews like 4 cups. The 1-4 cup light is not on so its not like I accidentally bumped it. Any ideas what that could be?
Dustin Markward it could be that the coffee absorbed some of the water
It brews 14 weak cups
FYI magnet won't stick to real stainless.
Flat Top It's been discussed at length if you scroll down the comments. It's appliance grade stainless just like every stainless fridge on the planet.
No way can you brew more than 10 cups without overflowing the basket. Nothing but grounds in my brew! The warmer is peeling after 1 year and it’s the most awkward water filling machine I’ve ever used.
Glad you mentioned the grounds thing. I found since moving to my new house I went from city to well water, and this machine DOES NOT like well water. Causes an eruption every time. Filtered water doesn't do that. No idea why. Also seems less likely if I use the bold setting for 12 cups.
great review. keep that format with just your hands doing the talking.
still holding up??
Well.. yes and no... I have since moved a little over 5 years ago and now I'm on really hard well water. The well water killed it almost immediately. Up until I moved, it worked perfectly, so I don't blame the machine. Got a replacement, same model. Installed filters on my water main and its been good since! Just need to clean it more often is all..
Costco has it
I have had my DCC-3200 Cuisinart for three years and it's developed a problem. The problem is that the many heat and cool cycles of the warmer has caused the plastic that holds the warmer in place to sag. This causes the carafe or pot to sit too low. Because the carafe sits too low, the check valve on the bottom of the filter housing does not open wide enough to allow the coffee to come thru at a good rate. Because the coffee does not come thru fast enough, the water in the filter housing fills up and overflows back into the reservoir which takes the coffee grinds with it and it makes a big mess. I don't see a fix for this sagging or distorted base around the warmer; it's plastic. I see this as a real defect in the design of this coffee maker.
I'm going to buy a different brand of coffee maker. This one just didn't hold up very long. Three years is not long enough to make it a reliable unit, and it's too expensive for such an early failure, in my opinion.
Wow yeah theres no fixing that. I guess its a consequence of penny pinching companies cranking these out by the millions.
would be cool if you painted a face on your hand.
use filtered water. crap in = crap out.
