There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Taste: Coffee in the 3200 is more flavorful. A new machine might be expected to be better, but I think they've gotten the flow and temperature of the brewing process better.
Temperature: The brewed coffee is much hotter. Both units have three temperature settings for the hot plate, but the settings on the 3200 are hotter.
Size and Capacity. The 3200 handles 14 cups compared to the 1200's 12 cups. Yet as you can see from the photos, they are the same height to fit on a counter. They seem to get the extra capacity by making the 3200 a little deeper from front to back. We've been surprised at how useful the extra capacity is.
Carafe: The new glass carafe is just like the old one, only larger. It pours nicely with or without the lid on it. The new lid works the same as the old one, popping off and on. (I read some complaints about the lid on an intervening model with a spring opening, but if so, they fixed that by going back to the 1200 style).
As far as I can tell, there isn't a version of the 3200 designed for a thermal carafe like there is for the 12-cup models. I prefer the glass carafe because it keeps the coffee hotter longer, and I can always pour the coffee into a thermal carafe if I want to.
Water Filling. The bigger size also increases the size of the water fill hole. The lid on the top of the 3200 unit raises to 90 degrees straight up, where the lid on the 1200 tilted further back and out of the way. Still the 3200 is easier to fill, and I suspect that the restriction on the tilt may help preserve the integrity of the hot water tube.
Sneak a Cup. Taking out the carafe to sneak a cup during brewing worked great on the 1200 with little dripping, and still does on the 3200.
Basket. The basket on the 3200 is very similar to the 1200, but a slightly different shape to accommodate more grounds for 14 cups. Actually, grounds just barely fit with a 4 cup paper filter in the new basket, and sometimes go above the filter in the basket. The basket actually seems more designed for the included gold filter.
Water filter. The 3200 uses the exact same carbon filters and filter holder as the 1200, but the holder seems to fit more snugly in its hole, which may help prevent clogging (see below)
Beep. The 3200 allows you to turn of the coffee-ready beep if you want.
Controls. Controls on the 3200 are a little easier. The 3200 uses all push buttons with no switches. Separate hour and minute settings make it a little easier to program and set the clock. There is a new "Bold" setting which does indeed seem to result in stronger coffee. There is still a setting for smaller, 1-4 cup pots, but I never use that. You can still set the hot plate to stay hot for up to 4 hours, which is important to me. There is a fairly bright blue glow from the LED display on the 3200.
Cleaning. There was a sensor button on the hot plate of the 1200 that's gone on the 3200, so the plate stays cleaner. The extra stainless steel looks good on the 3200 but probably shows smudges more and might benefit from special cleaner fluids.
Coffee Grounds Overflowing and Clogging. This was the biggest problem before, and I don't know if it's fixed, but it seems better. On the 1200, if you put too many coffee grounds in the filter it could overflow in the brewing process, and sometimes grounds would get into the water system and clog the tube. The 1200 was designed not to be repairable, but customers tried anyway with some difficulty. After one successful repair, we eventually had to replace the 1200. So far, we have not had any overflow issues with the 3200. The larger basket (with possibly a bigger drip opening), the deeper reservoir and longer case, and the more stable, non-tilting lid may help with this, but we will see how it works over time. I do notice that they made the bottom panel easier to remove, with regular screws instead of Torx, if it ever comes to that. My one tip for users is to always use the filter holder with a filter in it, even if your water is fine, because that should help prevent grounds from getting into the heating system.
In all, the 3200 is an excellent replacement for the 1200, and worth the extra money if you are choosing between the two models new.

The good: makes great coffee! Very easy to program. The ability to turn off the alarm is great. Water view window is easy to access. Looks nice.
The bad: I'll start with the least of the bad--the cleaning. I think the 'clean' button is inferior to just putting in your water/cleaner and turning on the pot to brew. The two times I used the 'clean' button, I could not get it to turn off unless I unplugged the machine for several minutes. This was after running cleaner through it 2-3 times. When I just brew it with cleaner, it turns off after one cycle.
The worst: the leaking. The machine is pretty, but the design is kind of awful. If you lift the lid post-brewing (doesn't matter how long you wait...1 hour or 12 hours), water will run down the back of the machine. And it's not an insignificant amount of water. It can soak a kitchen towel. Any time I lift the lid now, I shove a towel against the back of the machine, or it will leave a mess on the counter and under the machine.
The area to pour water into the machine is quite small compared to others. It's easy to dump a lot of water down the side of the machine if you're not careful. So, I shove another towel on the side as well when I am filling it.
Overall, I do like it. The leaking is a bit ridiculous, though. I hope that they'll revamp the design on this somehow before I have to buy my next one.
I own several cuisinart products, and they will replace parts that have failed.without any cost. This rarely happens.
This machine makes hot coffee without a burnt or plastic taste. Milk does not need to be heated. I found I use less coffee and have great rich flavor. A shower head on coffee process provides excellent extraction. I used a paper filter. Coffee ground to medium setting. Charcoal filter used.
The coffee is hot, flavorful, smooth, and I’m using less than a pour over method. No plastic taste at all. No drips when pouring.
After trying a few other brands that were highly disappointing, I’ve learned stick to a brand that works. This is a keeper.
Thank you cuisinart.
