A:AnswerJust remove the metal mesh basket and use the paper cones in the remaining plastic basket. Both the metal and plastic baskets are removable for cleaning but the plastic one is necessary for proper Operation
A:AnswerI'd say it's a good quality brand. I've had my old Cuisinart coffeemaker for over ten years and it's always been so quiet. It still works but I just wanted something newer and more modern-looking so I purchased this 14-cup one but it makes these loud banging sounds inside when getting to end of brew, strange. Called Cuisinart and the lady said it shouldn't do that and to return it so I did. I am buying the same one again to see if it was only that particular one making loud noises. I have read a few other similar reviews about loud sounds. :/ Some have said it's quiet so trying my luck to see if I get a quiet one this time. Not much help maybe but just sharing my experience. :)
A:AnswerMaybe you do NOT have the holder fully seated so the release button on the bottom is pushed in by the carafe. It won't let the coffee through if not fully seated.
A:AnswerThank you for asking this question, because it finally forced me to read the manual. Running to the coffee maker every hour, on the hour, to hit the "Brew" button was getting a little frustrating.
Quick answer is yes. I just read the instructions and tried it myself. You can set it to turn off after brewing, anywhere from zero minutes to 4 hours.
All you have to do is hold down the "Brew" button for about 3 seconds, and release the button when the screen starts flashing (it will look like it's flashing the time of day; "2:00" for example). The number that is flashing is the number of hours and minutes that the coffee will stay hot. You can increase and/or decrease the amount of time it will stay on using the "Hr." and "Min." buttons on the left and right side of the screen. Once you've settled on that, push the "Brew" button to save it.
I was really driving myself nuts over this issue, so I really am glad you asked the question.
Also, here's the link to Cuisinart's page where you can download the instruction manuals for coffee makers:
https://www.cuisinart.com/manuals/coffee_makers/
You'll have to scroll down the page quite a ways to find the DCC-3200P1. It's about five rows from the bottom of the page, far right column.
A:AnswerFound the following information on line:
China
Most of the Cuisinart coffee makers are manufactured in China. However, the Cuisinart CHW-12 Coffee Plus is still an American made coffee maker. The Cuisinart can brew a full carafe of coffee on the left and a single cup or travel mug on the right.
I love my coffeemaker.
A:AnswerDo you mean re-set the time? If so, just tap on the Hour button on the left of the display, minute button on the right to chage the time. Just make sure you watch for am/pm indicator.
A:AnswerPage 7 of the manual says to scroll through the clock digits and be sure the PM indicator is showing (it will show on the display) if you are setting a PM time. If PM is not showing, the AM hours are displaying. I hope this helps.
A:AnswerYes but you want to clean it with white vinegar and water as per the instructions so you can get a tasty bit of coffee plus it will extend the life of your machine.
A:AnswerFor coffeemakers, they think of "cup of coffee" as a serving size, not as an actual cup. Anyone who has filled a coffee pot from a water jug knows that the 14-cup carafe is not holding 112 oz (almost a gallon) of water. It seems like the correct answer is "1 coffee cup" = "5 oz" for most coffeemakers. There are even video demonstrations (of course there are) https://youtu.be/TuPmeZ7lB14
