Cuisinart 2000 vs Mr. Coffee
Cuisinart DCC-2000
Price 100.00 Good Worked well until warranty expired (3 years) Easy to use. Fill and forget until coffee is ready. Politely beeps when brew complete Included gold filter is sufficient; no paper filters needed Coffee flavor is acceptable Bad Re-initialized variable causes 'auto shutoff' to fail after 3 years, relies on safety system to shut off; requires reboot daily Water leaks on to counter 'Carafe - less' design slow; dangerous for filling thermos bottle Activated charcoal filter is extremely expensive at US ~5.00 each Mr Coffee CJX21CP Price 30.00 Good Inexpensive Carafe fills cup or thermos quickly and safely Politely beeps when brew complete Easy to maintain. Inexpensive paper filters make cleanup a breeze Coffee flavor is acceptable Bad Design underdeveloped; will cause lots of hot coffee to leak on to counter if carafe is not inserted at brew time. Illegible clock should be replaced by a single (blinking amber) 'No Carafe' LED Probably has a 'cycle counter' that causes post warranty failure like the Cuisinart Basket valve can prevent carafe from fully seating on heater plate Reservoir gauge difficult to see, for right-handed people Activated charcoal filter is expensive at US ~2.00 each --Winston -- Congratulations Robert Piccinini and Steven A. Burd, WalMart Publicists of the Year! |
