This is a replacement for my old Cuisinart coffee maker which I had for about six years or so (the predecessor to this model). I loved my old one even with some of the little quirks it had. It beat out any Braun or Krupp pot which I had ever owned. This new updated model is a winner. All of the small annoyances have been solved, such as the small fill tank opening, the dripping cover that leaked back into the fill tank, and finally, thank you Cuisinart people, a water level guide on the outside of the unit. The front knobs on the front are now also easier to see and use. As my other Cuisinart did, it brews superior coffee and quickly. I find it takes about one minute per cup… 12 minutes for twelve cups, not bad at all. Yes, the unit does make some clicking and popping noises when it is new, so did my old one. But that goes away in time as the unit gets “broken in”. I do not think you can find a better coffee maker on the market.

Who in the world would have a coffee pot as a best friend? When you make and drink 5 to 7 pots of coffee a day you need a best friend. You need a friend who is there for you anytime you need one and that friend has to be consistent; i.e., one good pot after another. The DCC-2600 is my new best friend. In a short time it has performed better than its older cousin, the DCC-1200. The DCC-122 is still right up there with the DCC-2600; however, I wanted a 14 cupper and it is perfect.
The coffee tastes the same: great. It still takes about one minute per cup. That is perhaps a tad too much time but I don’t care. I can always do something else while it is brewing. After all, a super cup of coffee is worth waiting a few minutes. I can always set the timer and have it ready when I awaken. The setting process is still simple enough for me to do. I really like being able to see the plain water display on the outside instead of having to strain and look over the top of the pot. That’s a nice enhancement just as it the anti-drip change Cuisinart made.
I’m not an interior designer; however, I like the changes made to the outside appearances of this pot compared to the DCC-1200. I just looks better to me. The included gold filter is a nice touch and its inclusion should be a constant; however, I still prefer the cheap, paper filters. Paper filters are easier to clean up from than the gold filter. That is the only reason for my statement.
Best friends do not let you down and this pot pumps coffee without one retort. It works well and performs the job with vigor.

We take coffee very seriously in my house and when our old Cuisinart broke I wasn’t sure I wanted another. But they fixed the design problems (hard to pour the water without spilling, no visible water gauge) and it makes great coffee. Highly recommend it.

Positives:
14 cup capacity
Keeps your coffee hot; even better than the thermal carafe coffeemakers!
Easy to load
Easy to clean
Negatives:
The carafe lid is prone to leak on rare occasion
Other:
Do not put the carafe lid in the dishwasher as the heat will alter the shape of the lid and you will be prone to excessive leaks from your carafe

This is my third Cuisinart coffee machine … other two were the 12 cup model — kissing cousin to this upgrade.
They greatly improved the features on this machine — water level is now visible from the OUTSIDE and it has an added feature of selecting the flavor for “regular” or “bold”. Of course the charcoal filter continues to be a plus feature.
As mentioned above, this is my third Cuisinart coffee maker. My first was a result of Consumer Reports’ high rating … purchased it around 2001 or 2002 — I forget. Anyway, it worked well until it was almost 3 years old (warranty period is 3 years) … it started making a snapping & popping noise while brewing. As it was still under warranty, I shipped it back (at my expense) and they replaced it with a refurbished model.
All in all, if you really enjoy your morning cup of coffee (and having it ready as soon as you step into the kitchen) … I highly recommend this upgraded model. You won’t be disappointed!
