cuisinart brew 1200 vs 2600
352601
I assume you're asking for a comparison, or opinions on the two? My mother has the 1200 so I am very familiar with it. I bought the 2600 because it improves on the 1200 in two areas. One is that it's easier to see the water level as you're pouring. With the 1200, there are notches inside the water reservoir, but it's a very small opening and hard to see into it while pouring. The second one, and most important, is that the 2600 eliminates the 'backwash' effect of opening the lid. On the 1200, water condenses and sticks to the lid. When you then open the lid, water often dribbles down the back of the maker and onto the counter. The 2600 fixed this design so that the water drains back into the reservoir. Other than that, as far as I can tell, the two are relatively equal.

I have owned six or eight 1200s and Two 2600s. We have a lake house as a second home and have a lot of family on holiday weekends. The 1200s at both homes have been very good coffee makers. we bought two 2600s because of the 14 cup capacity. They are now in my garage and I replaced them with new 1200s. For some reason the 2600s would float the coffee grounds more and create a mess on the lid that was difficult to clean up. Even when we would just make 10 cups the same thing happened. Disappointing but not worth the purchase. The 2600s will go to Goodwill or salvation army.

Thank you for your input. I was trying to find out if the ss780pc was an upgrade or not, and you answered that question. I personally would purchase the ss780pc due to the fact that it has twice as many k-cups (at least $25 value) plus the additional water filters. You'd save money in the long run by spending the additional $10.

Probably best to check with Cuisinart directly. Either call or on their website.

No. That is a big advantage of this coffeemaker over Cuisinart. However, this one has some annoying issues of its own - see the reviews.

Breville 260 square inches vs Cuisinart 240 square inches. Breville heating units are embedded in the grill plates and get hotter and they lose less heat. Drip tray easier to access in Breville. Cuisinart has individual temperature adjustment for top and bottom; Breville does not. Breville costs twice as much.

Ours did the same thing. We had the 10-cup model and needed to upgrade so we bought the 12 cup Cuisinart. It is super quiet and makes a great cup of coffee.

I called Cuisinart awhile back. They told me the ss700 model and ss780pc models are the exact same brewer. The difference is, some were packaged to sell at certain stores, some at other stores and were given different model numbers accordingly. The one major difference though, is that the ss700 comes with 12 sample k-cups and one charcoal filter, whereas the ss780pc comes with 54 sample k-cups and 6 charcoal filters. Both versions are sold here on Amazon.

Yes they are nearly identical. The only differences are the color of the faceplate on the base and the included recipe books are slightly different. They have the same base (other than the faceplate color), same carafe, same tamper, same buttons, same lid, same cord, same warranty, and exactly the same performance. The packaging will be different though. One will have a picture and labeling for the 300 and the other will have it for the 7500.

i did not purchase this item for this reason. however i am certain a back issue of 2600 could answer your question.

This one is bad, too. So is the Cuisinart HM-50. I'm not sure why we have to choose between powerful and slow! :)

I asked Cuisinart about this, they said, none. The EPC-1200 is the model they sell through Costco, apparently. Its indistinguishable.

They are fairly similar in most aspects (my in-laws have Cuisinart) and both work well. I believe the pre-set temperature settings are slightly different but not significantly. One thing I prefer on a revile is that temperature setting buttons are on base and not handle. The labels on the buttons on the Cuisinart handle wear off fairly quickly due to handling. Base on Breville is slightly larger which has obvious pros and cons. I also feel (with no proof) that the Breville has a slightly better balance when held and full. Basically it is a few small things that make me prefer the Breville, but both do the job reliably and effectively.

I notice that Cuisinart CTO-390PC is selling at Costco for $99, and Cuisinart TOB-195 looks almost exactly the same but is a different model number is $179.99 at Bed, Bath

I'm not sure what this question is about. The Cuisinart MultiClad Pro line is VERY good quality, seems to be 18/10 quality, both in the weight and the quality of stainless steel. I have a whole line of the MultiClad Pro. The lesser-priced line below the MultiClad Pro isn't NEARLY the quality, Stay away from it. Marianne

No temp adjust for the hotplate like on the last Cuisinart I owned, but I always had that one on "high" anyway. The coffee is hot. Consumer Reports rates these and a specific Mr. Coffee model in the top because they sustain the proper brewing temp to extract the best flavor from the grounds. There are probably cheaper makers that will be serviceable, but I have had good luck with my last Cuisinart, I prefer a cone filter rather than a basket, I grind my own coffee and this one does offer 4 different brew strengths to fine tune your brew (Reg, Bold, Reg 1-4 cup, Bold 1-4 cup).

I was going to buy the 12-cup (1000 count quantity) BUNN coffee filters but the BUNN representative advised against it. He said that the 12-cup is a commercial filters and are not designed for the home model (which pushes out (sprays) its water at a higher velocity and, as a result, the commercial filters have a tendency to collapse inside the coffee basket of the home models. The BUNN representative then recommended the A10 model listed on Amazon. I'm still researching other 8-10 cup coffee BUNN filter models and am trying to determine if the A10 is different than other (boxed) BUNN coffee filters...to-wit: BCF100-B, BCF250 and the 20106.0000 models. One place on Amazon lists the BCF100-B (BUNN Coffee Filter?) as for the 10-cup...yet Costco lists the BCF250 as the filter for the BUNN commercial coffee maker. (In reality, I suspect that the 100 and the 250 portions of the designations refer to the quantity shipped per box, etc.) AARGH! Why does the buying of a simple item like a coffee filter require an engineering degree? Mike

I believe that single serve doesn't come with the machine. I also believe that you can get it with a different model, but it can't be used on a 1200.
