The PerfecTemp is a long-running bestseller for households that drink a lot of coffee. It brews up to 14 cups, hotter than many drip machines, with a Brew Strength Control for regular or bold coffee and a 1 to 4 cup setting that adjusts brewing for small batches. Programming is fully automatic over 24 hours, and Brew Pause lets you grab a cup before the cycle finishes. The current DCC-3200NAS version adds an adjustable warming plate with Low, Medium, and High settings, so coffee stays at the temperature you prefer. It also has self-clean, adjustable auto-off, and an optional ready tone.
The DCC-3200NAS replaces the earlier DCC-3200P1, which Cuisinart has discontinued. The two are otherwise the same machine.
