Brew Central DCC-1200NASC

My Cuisinart is 22 years old, was very well regarded at the time for taste. It's still going strong.

Buying something today--right now --no one can say. Brand names with long standing reputations change over time..... I can say I have a Cuisinart drip machine that's over 20 years old. Moccamaster is well regarded still but will either of those, that I buy today be around in 20 years----don't know.

There seems to be a middle---I was about to push the button on a Breville Precision Brewer but my Cuisinart Brew Central Programmable --DCC1200 , I've had it well over 15 years. It makes a consistent good cup of coffee--still going strong. I mostly make pour over but every time I think of getting a new machine I think I'm covered. What I do like about the Breville --but I can't speak for longevity, is it can do pour over--why I'd want it to--not sure but it could.

IDK--have a cuisinart that's over 20 years old. It was well regarded at the time. Just got a Moccamaster and hands down it made good coffee, better than most restaurants and cafes I frequent. I do pourovers mostly---Kalita or Hario -both units last decades.

I have a 20 year old Cuisinart that the past 5 years was only used for when I had guests. I've mostly been doing pourover on a ceramic Hario or Kalita. I recently splurged on the MM KBGV (got one for $240 on Black Friday week Amazon-returned it because I got a lighting deal on one for $179). I did a head to head comparison of taste between my MM and the Cuisinart. The MM tasted notably better taking the same amount of water, same amount of coffee and brewing in both machines. That said it's not going to match my pourovers but for drip coffee, it's about the best drip I've tasted in over 50 years of drinking and making coffee.

If you want regular drip coffee the best home coffee maker I’ve ever used is cuisinart brew central 12 cup coffee maker. Next to no maintenance. I’ve used it for decades.

We use a Cuisinart Brew Central. 10 years old and still works perfectly.

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.

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

Same. This is really reliable and consistently brews a really good pot fast. We descale every few months, maybe 3x year if I’m good about it.

This is what we bought last year when our 10 year old KitchenAid was slowly dying (do not take that as an endorsement of KitchenAid lol). We love it!
