Welcome to my article. Today I will be reviewing the Cuisinart DCC-1100 coffee maker. Hopefully after reading the next few paragraphs you will be a little bit closer to deciding which coffee maker is ideally suited to your needs and more confident when it comes to making a purchase.
Let's start with the brewing temperature. The Cuisinart DCC-1100 brews coffee at approximately 197 degrees. This is not bad at all and compared to many other coffee makers available today which brew at anywhere as low as 175 degrees. I must say that I think personally the brewing temperature should be just over the 200 degree mark for the "perfect" flavor to be extracted, but the Cuisinart does a solid job.
Cuisinart Coffee Makers
The way that the hot water is dispersed over the coffee grounds during the brew process is something that is often overlooked by buyers. However if we are not careful we will most definitely be disappointed with the flavor that results. Some coffee makers just pour the water in a stream over the coffee, this almost invariably results in a ring of coffee that doesn't get touched by the water and therefore no flavor is extracted. The Cuisinart DCC-1100 does a good job when it comes to this however and because it has a shower head, there nothing but the smallest amount of grounds that miss out on the water.
We have the option of using either paper or the cone mesh filter with our machine here. I won't say that one method is better than another, but just the effects we see from using each. Using the paper filters typically results in a slightly better filtering process but perhaps not all the flavor extracted, while the mesh filter gets all the flavor (strength) but leaves a residue of coffee grounds in the pot.
Thanks for reading.

Cuisinart DGB-600BC Grind and Brew, Brushed Chrome Overview
With its sleek Italian styling, brushed stainless finish and "loaded" feature package, you'd expect nothing less than a fabulous cup of coffee. And you won't be disappointed! From filtering the water, to grinding the beans, to keeping your brew hot, not to mention having it ready and waiting for you first thing in the morning, this handsome machine does it all, and then some.Cuisinart DGB-600BC Grind and Brew, Brushed Chrome Specifications
When the aroma of freshly brewed coffee--from freshly ground beans--wafts into your bedroom in the morning, you won't need your alarm clock. Preset this coffeemaker for your desired wake-up time, add coffee beans to the grinder, and in the morning the beans are ground to a medium grind and hot coffee awaits in the 10-cup stainless steel, double-wall insulated thermal carafe. You can also program the machine to start brewing at the end of a dinner party to avoid having to get up from the table, or to have hot coffee waiting after a brisk winter walk. When making fewer than five cups of coffee, use the 1-to-4-cups setting to improve extraction and heat; coffeemakers without this setting often lack the time to heat up properly, and coffee comes out cooler. A disposable charcoal filter removes chlorine and odors from tap water, improving coffee flavor, and should be changed every few months. Other features include a gold-tone commercial-style filter (or use No. 4 basket-style paper filters); capacity to use preground coffee instead of beans; 30-second Brew Pause, which allows a cup be poured before brewing is complete; and an audible tone to indicate the pot is ready. The grinder removes for easy cleaning, and all removable parts can be washed safely in the upper rack of a dishwasher. The Cuisinart Grind and Brew measures 15 by 8 by 7-1/2 inches, and comes with a three-year warranty. --Ann BieriSAVE NOW on the special offers below!
