Cuisinart DCC-1000BK 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Black Feature

• Programmable warming plate keeps coffee hot up to 4 hours
• Automatically pauses 30 seconds when carafe removed for midbrew pour
• Charcoal water filter; GoldTone filter eliminates messy paper filters
• Measures 13-3/4 by 8 by 11 inches; 3-year limited warranty

Programmable for automatically brewing "wake-up" coffee at a selected time, this coffeemaker brews up to 12 cups. A replaceable charcoal filter improves the water, and a permanent Gold Tone filter replaces paper filters. Other features include a spray head that distributes water evenly through the ground coffee; a glass carafe with a stylish stainless-steel band; a scratch-resistant nonstick warming plate; cord storage in the rear (push in the cord to conceal it); a window that shows the water level; and a pause function for a midbrew pour when the carafe is removed. For peace of mind, you can program the warming plate to shut off at a specified time (up to four hours) after brewing. Clad in gleaming black plastic that easily wipes clean, the coffeemaker measures 13-3/4 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 11 inches deep (including the carafe handle), and carries a three-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack


This coffeemaker has all the most sought after features. You can set it up the night before to have coffee ready and waiting when you need to grab a cup quickly in the morning. Or, you can interrupt the brewing cycle if you start it in the morning but just can't wait those few minutes until the end of the cycle. It comes with a permanent filter, and a charcoal water filter. After all if you make a cup of coffee with lousy tasting water, it only stands to reason that the end product will suffer.
