The Cuisinart Brew Central 14-Cup Coffee Maker DCC-2200 is loaded with the features consumers want most from a coffee maker. Styled in brushed stainless steel with black trim, this unit has a programmable clock/timer, pushbutton controls with digital display, water filter, 60-second memory reset in case of power loss, brew pause, and auto-shutoff. The Brew Central DCC-2200 has a 14-cup capacity--larger than most others in its class, so you can get more cups from a single pot. The clear glass carafe fits neatly into a 7x7-inch opening in the box-style housing. The entire housing stands 16.5 inches tall by 11.75 inches wide by 10.25 inches deep, and is characterized by elegant curved edges.

You can brew coffee immediately by turning the dial to brew and pressing the "on" button, or you can preset the brewing to begin at a later time, up to 24 hours in advance. Other specialty settings include a 1-4 cup setting, which adjusts the water temperature when brewing a smaller pot; a showerhead water distribution system, which evenly saturates the coffee grounds; a permanent gold-tone cone-shaped filter basket; a ready tone, which signals at the completion of the brew cycle; and a nonstick warming plate. The Cuisinart Brew Central 14-Cup Coffee Maker DCC-2200 is pricier than many other models but combines all the best features for a superb coffee-making experience.
