My Cusinart DCC-1200: brewed coffee isn't flowing into the carafe |
Background and Identification
Cuisinart is a home appliance brand owned by Conair Corporation, an American small appliance, personal care, beauty, and health product seller. The Cuisinart brand produces home appliances like cookware, ovenware, kitchen tools, and kitchen accessories. Cuisinart was founded in 1971 to produce an electric food processor to the U.S. market.
Prior to the invention of automatic drip coffeemakers, coffee was primarily brewed in coffee percolators, which is a type of pot used to brew coffee by cycling the boiling liquid through coffee grounds using gravity until the desired coffee strength is produced. Percolators often produced burned and bitter flavors in coffee, so the Cuisinart coffee machines were designed to produce a more uniform brewing temperature.
Cuisinart manufactures several coffeemaker types, including fully automatic, single-serve brewers, ones with built-in coffee grinders, and those with strength and temperature control. Cuisinart automatic drip coffeemakers brew coffee by pouring hot water onto ground coffee beans, generally using a filter. Used coffee grounds are retained in the filter and the brewed coffee seeps through and is collected in a pot, carafe, or mug.
Cuisinart coffeemakers can be identified by the name “Cuisinart” printed or embossed on the front of the machine. Cuisinart coffeemakers can hold between four and 14 cups of liquid and also come in a variety of colors such as stainless steel, black, copper, white, and red.
