Cuisinart DTC 975 Programable Auto Brew 12 Cup Coffeemakers

I'll admit before I start that I didn't actually need a new coffeemaker before buying this!

That said, my old coffeemaker wasn't brilliant and I found the flavor deteriorated very quickly from whilst sat on the warming pad. I was looking for a coffeemaker with a thermal carafe in order to keep it nice and hot and also for a larger capacity given the number of coffee drinkers who pass through my house.

As someone who's been through a few coffeemakers in my time, I knew from the stores, wholesale clubs etc that Cuisinart was a pretty prominent brand and after some more investigation, I decided that the Cuisinart DTC 975 Programable Auto Brew 12 Cup Coffeemakers looked like the number one contenders.

Our experience with Cuisinart DTC 975 Programable Auto Brew 12 Cup Coffeemakers:

So far, I'm delighted with the results. The large carafe keeps even my family in coffee, the quality of taste is great and the temperature is kept just right in the thermal carafe for at least 8 hours with no staleness creeping in due to the fact there is no warming plate.

When the coffee has brewed, the coffeemaker beeps to inform you then the lid seals it and the machine switches itself off which is a nice feature.

Cleaning and maintenance is very straightforward with the base just needing a wipe with a damp cloth while the basket, carafe and lid can be washed in hot water then rinsed thoroughly.

So, are we happy with our purchase of Cuisinart DTC 975 Programable Auto Brew 12 Cup Coffeemakers? Yes! The flavor is much improved over our old system and there is far less bitterness as you get with cheaper makers.
