Cuisinart DCC-1150BK 10-Cup Classic Thermal Programmable Coffeemaker

I just received this coffee maker last week and so far it lives up to my expectations.

This unit is well made and nice looking. It is a little bigger than my old cheapo Mr. Coffee. It is as easy to use and program as any coffee maker.

The carafe is especially nice, it is very well insulated and keeps coffee hot for hours and it doesn't spill a single drop. It is a little on the heavy side if that's any concern.

I think it uses slightly more coffee than my old Mr. Coffee. Once I figured that out I get a wonderfully smooth and robust pot of coffee, just delicious. I have been using the "1-4" button to double heat the water and that may make the difference.

I had read some users had a mess on their counter top because the lid didn't seat properly. This is ridiculous, put the lid on, give it a 1/4 turn and you're all set, it's that simple.

Many things may lead to this machine making a great pot of coffee - the double heating of the water, cone shaped filter, charcoal filter and the fact there's no burner to keep cooking the coffee to death.

The LCD clock on the front is hard to see and is of little use other than for programming, but I hardly think one buys a coffee maker to use as a time piece.

Well recommended!

Quick edit.....I made coffee at 10am this morning. Around 6pm I dumped out the little bit that was left over and it was still hot; not piping or steaming hot plenty warm enough to be enjoyed. I'm pretty impressed with the carafe!!

As far as I can determine this coffee maker doesnt exist and never did.  Its not on the discontinued list. The only place I could find the model number was on a Sears marketplace seller but its not the same coffee maker. Usually when a new model comes out the number is higher i.e., DCC-3750 would be newer than DCC-2750 which looks the same but has the buttons on the front not the base. .You won't be able to register the coffee maker because the web-site doesnt recognize the model number. There is a three year warranty so be sure to hang on to your receipt. Customer service assures me this is a great coffee maker and the warranty will be honored if you have the receipt.  Also there is a list of parts included with the coffee maker so don't lose it. If you need parts you won't be able to find them by the model #.  According to the serial # the coffee maker was made in 2012.

Having said all that, the coffee maker works fine.  Ive been using a Keurig, with refillable cups, for a couple of years but its a PIA if you have guest or you want more than one cup of coffee so this sounded like a good alternative.  Im no great coffee connoisseur; I just need something to get my heart started in the morning.

You should pre-heat the carafe with hot water like you would any thermos. You don't have to remove the lid to pour the coffee. You can use the gold filter or a paper filter.  They include a few, and one charcoal filter, to get you started.

The pot is easy to set to have your coffee ready when you get up and if you want to sleep in a little the coffee will stay hot.  This works well for me because I need a cup of coffee before I know whats going on. Im embarrassed to tell you how many times Ive pushed the button on the Keurig and forgot to put the coffee pod in or put a cup under the drip. The coffee maker beeps five times when the coffee is ready.

The reg heat setting works for me although I use the x-hot if I don't plan to drink the coffee right away. I don't know if it makes a difference. In case of a power failure your settings will be saved for one minute. The carafe and lid are dishwasher safe in the top rack. Made in China. Thats about it.

Only one month in operation - makes an excellent cup of coffee.  Operation set-up was simple and the LED readout gives you prompt notice for maintenance.  Simple operation -- good results.  Wish I had purchased it years ago.

I purchased this coffeemaker two months ago and I have been thoroughly enjoying it. It makes 12 cups, the strength of the brew is programmable and it will stay on for up to 4 hours; it also reheats which is a great feature. It is easily cleaned, a bonus for me. I would not hesitate to buy another one exactly like it.

I purchased this to replace my old Cuisinart Grind & Brew with thermal carafe.  Although this does not have a grinder, (have my own separate grinder anyway) my main reason for a replacement was, the coffee was never really hot enough.  No matter what I did, the first cup would be warm to hot, the second cup would be lukewarm only after an hour.  The thermal carafe always made the coffee taste funny.  The Bunn HG Phase Brew makes a piping hot cup of coffee, in a glass carafe.  It does take between 6 - 10 minutes to complete the brew cycle, but it is programmable and can be ready when you wake in the morning.  When I make my coffee for after dinner, I just set it all up before I clean up the kitchen.  By the time I'm finished cleaning up, the coffe is ready.  No regrets for dumping my Cuisinart for a Bunn.

I LOVE Cuisinart's Coffee-on-Demand coffee makers. Their 3 year warranty is fantastic too and they DO honor the warranty.

They OBVIOUSLY listened to all the complaints about the DCC-2000. I had 2 of those. The first one died 3 times and was replaced by Cuisinart. Even though I LOVED that coffee maker, the condensation in the lid dripping down the back and the obvious electronic issues, I didn't love. After the first DCC-2000 died after warranty, I loved it so much (looks, function and coffee taste), I bought another one and NEVER had an issue with the newer one (except the condensation in the lid). That DCC-2000 is now heading off to college with my son. That's why I bought this one. Woot!

It is a GREAT looking coffeemaker, though I really do like the more retro look of the 2000 better. I like the round coffee gauge on the 2000 better than the rectangle on the 3000, but that's just a small nit. It's still a great looking coffeemaker and that coffee gauge works perfectly.

I LOVE the light on the clock...I can now actually SEE the time on it. That's always a plus when it comes to clocks. ;) I really like the new separate water tank. I can still fill it from my kitchen hose, so it never has to be removed unless it needs to be washed. The flow on this unit is smooth and even and the light over the cup is FANTASTIC! Now I can dispense coffee in low light. It makes delicious coffee too. I changed NOTHING in the way I make my coffee and it tastes just as good as it did in the DCC-2000.

All the controls are intuitive...simple to set and easy to use. It even tells you when it's time to be cleaned. That's a great feature. I haven't used the 1-4 cup setting yet, but I'm sure it works just as good as all the other great features. I used the Auto-On this morning and it worked. I awoke to wonderful, freshly brewed coffee. You can also set how long you want the coffeemaker to stay on...1-4 hours.

Coffee-on-Demand is one of the best things to happen in coffeemakers. It's not quite as convenient as a Tassimo, Pods or K-cup single serve, but it's also not as expensive because you're not buying the expensive single serve Pods or Kups. You really DO pay for THAT convenience. Not having a carafe to deal with is a huge plus, IMO.

If you're in the market for a new coffeemaker, I highly recommend the Cuisinart DCC-3000 Coffee-on-Demand. Cuisinart's 3 year warranty ALWAYS brings me back to their products.

Should I have any issues with this new Coffee-on-Demand, like I did with the 2000, I will come back and update my review. If it's not updated, then you will know all is well. :)

On edit: I just tried 4 travel mugs that we have and only one fit WITH THE BOTTOM DRIP PLATE MOVED OUT...the one that fits is 6 1/2" tall.

If you are looking for a great hot cup of coffee, easily programmable and easy to use, Cuisinart has hit another home run.  We replaced a 15+ year old Cuisinart with the DCC-2650 and couldn't be happier.  The coffee stays hotter, you can adjust the temperature of the hot plate and adjust the length of time the pot stays on after brewing.
We did our research, and this was the coffeemaker of choice, hands down.  I always go to the manufacturer website before searching.  It helps to weed out discontinued products and problem items.
I am fussy about my cup of coffee, and the DCC-2650 by Cuisinart has satisfied my parameters completely.  Enjoy a cup of jo'.

I have had a gring-and-brew thermal coffeemaker for more than 4 years.  It made hot coffee and held it hot longer than any we had.  Grind portion of old pot was always a little tough to clean, and it was loud.

If any of you have found many coffeemaker pots tend to drip as you pour, this one is your answer: It pours fast, and it does not drip.

New DCC 1150 operates just as well, without the need to clean up after grinding.  PS:  the old thermal carafe is still functional with new pot, so I now have two carafe's for use with larger groups.

Only complaint:  Would have liked it to still be stainless sides, oh well...

I read all the reviews and was a little apprehensive about getting this model but I am very happy with this coffee maker. I got this one to replace a larger thermal carafe Cuisinart model that died so I am used to the fact that the thermal carafe feature will not keep the coffee piping hot for hours but that's okay with me. If it is a little cooler than I like, I just zap it in the microwave for 25 seconds.
This maker makes a great tasting coffee and the size is perfect for me as I am the only coffee drinker in the house and 8 cups is plenty.  I also like the more compact size as it fits better on my countertop.

Only complaint is that the permanent cone shaped gold filter recommended on the website does not fit with this coffee model as it has a basket shape so I ended up returning the permanent filter and picking up some paper coffee filters which work fine.

We find the Cuisinart DCC-100 a great little coffee maker. It is true that the swing out filter is hard to operate but it snaps in place when closed properly. When you pour out of the pot you can't lift the lid or it drips moisture, if you leave it closed and pour through the little spout it does fine. We love It!!!

A very good coffee maker, easy set up and definitely like the auto program mode. Brews coffee either bold or medium with a touch of a button! Very satisfied with this purchase.

THE COFFEE-MAKER HAS A SLEEK MODERN LOOK. I LIKE THE PROGRAMMABLE FEATURE AND GREEN NIGHTLIGHT. THE COFFEE POT HAS ONE OF THE BEST 'SPOUT' TO POUR FROM THAT I HAVE USED.

This coffee maker has everything I was looking for: it grinds the beans, it's programmable, it has a timer you can set to keep the coffee hot.  A lot of parts to clean every time you make coffee, but it's worth it!

I like it . It is easy to program and I like that it is marked everywhere for how many cups of water you have in the coffee tank and also inside the Coffee maker. The best thing is that i do not have to worry about breaking the Coffee pot.

Unit was very easy to set the current time as well as the scheduled brew time. The thermal lot keeps the coffee not for at least an hour without using a heater plate. Saves electricity and keeps the coffee tasting better. Best part is it actually pours a cup of coffee without a huge mess!! Only dislike is that the display is angled down slightly making it a little hard to see.

Great coffee pot for the money, has the minimum basic features including programmability and auto turn-off after 2 hrs.  Very easy to clean & load coffee/water.  Why pay more?
