Cuisinart - Brew Central DCC-1200NASC

BLUF: This is the best drip IMO. https://a.co/d/ciHzANO Moka, Areopress and pour-over are fantastic for yourself, but if you need coffee for a crowd the cuisinart is the way to go. I do like a Moka Pot (SS), Aeropress is also good, I have a pour over that I used for years, and have a Kureig with reusable pods. The only coffee method I dislike is French press. Could be the situation I had them in but coffee always seems bitter and over extracted, but could just be my experience at other people’s places as I don’t own one. go.

Honestly? Something like a Cuisinart or Breville or Ninja is just fine for her. A Moccamaster or an Aiden are absurd, terrible recommendations for someone who doesn't care that much about coffee, lol. That's like buying a Pappy Van Winkle for someone who only drinks Bud Light, or a Traeger for a vegetarian. If they aren't into coffee, they're not gonna care about "SCA certified" or any of that quality stuff. In fact, they probably care more about how it looks, how fast it brews coffee, and maybe some of the other bells and whistles attached like a programmable timer. Don't spend money on something that's purely built for quality coffee; spend on the features instead.

I have been very pleased with my KitchenAid drip coffee maker the past two years. Just prior I tried Cuisinart, OXO, and Braun and was not happy with the coffee flavor and other features like size/configuration. The KA brew is very tasty imo and since it is programmable, I come downstairs every morning to the smell of a fresh pot. It has stainless trim and a sleek glass carafe so it looks nice on the counter as well.

My parents love their Bunn that I think they've had for about 20 years now. They use it every single day. My Cusinart from facebook marketplace for $10, has also been a good purchase :D

Cuisinart drip maker from Costco with the giant tub of pre-ground Folgers. BIFL with cash left over. After decades with people who have to have hand-ground organic coffee grown from the droppings of Antarctic fairies and brewed by free-range locally steamed orphan tears, I’m glad to be able to drink coffee and get on with it. Our grandparents knew a few things.

I’ve had mine for 12 years and always recommend it 

I have a cuisinart and it’s great

I have a Cuisinart 12-cup that’s been used almost daily for at least 12 years, maybe longer? Got it as a work anniversary gift from the company points program. In contrast, my mom went through three Mr. Coffee 4-cup makers in that same amount of time.

We have a Cuisinart coffee maker. It's our second one after the old old one failed. Makes the best coffee. It's so good, we see in many tv programs' kitchen or office. Now there's just two of us. We still have the Cuisinart but our daily consumption is only one or two cups a day. So we use a Keurig. But we use reusable plastic pods. I buy good ground coffee and spend much less than the K pods.

We had a Cuisinart before buying a Moccamaster. Cuisinart is a spray and pray coffeemaker. Moccamaster makes a much better cup of coffee.
