Home Brewing
Continues to Enjoy Increased Popularity
At
a time when store-made coffee is fast becoming a luxury item, it's more
important than ever to have a great coffeemaker at home that recreates the
professional coffee experience. The
average coffee drinker spends more than $1,000 annually on this work-day staple
(with a store-bought cup being nine ounces and the average American consuming
3.2 cups per day*), and that's a conservative estimate.
Cuisinart
is providing consumers with an ever-growing range of new product options to
make it easier than ever to brew, pour and enjoy a great cup of coffee at home. The FlavorBrew®
12-Cup Coffeemaker (model no. DCC-750/BK), the FlavorBrew® 10-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker (model no. DCC-755/BK) and
the Brew Central® 14-Cup Coffeemaker
(model no. DCC-2600) are designed to help java aficionados save money while
consistently recreating a professional coffee drinking experience in the
kitchen.
All
three Cuisinart coffeemakers are fully automatic with 24-hour programmability
to permit home brewers to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee at any time, and are
designed with features such as a 60-second reset that "remembers" settings and
where the machine was in the brewing process, adjustable auto shutoff (1 - 4
hours) and Brew Pause® technology.
Additionally, the Brew Central® 14-Cup Coffeemaker includes a strength
selector and an adjustable carafe temperature to provide added customization
options as well.
What to Look for When
Purchasing a Coffeemaker:
Customized
Features:
Cuisinart's
new coffeemakers have various other features, including the 1 to 4-cup setting
that allows consumers to brew smaller amounts of coffee to the same exacting
standards that apply to a full pot. The
Brew Central® Coffeemaker has two additional features as well: an adjustable
carafe temperature (high, medium and low) that maintains consumers' desired
serving temperature even after brewing is complete, as well as strength control
(regular or bold) to suit any coffee drinker's preferences.
Convenience:
Both
the Brew Central® and FlavorBrew® lines are equipped with a 60-second reset
power loss back-up system that provides a one-minute protection against power
failures or tripped breakers.
Additionally, all units incorporate Cuisinart's Brew Pause® technology
that stops the flow of coffee from the basket to the carafe to allow consumers
to pour a cup of coffee midway through the brewing process.
Taste:
Cuisinart's
latest coffeemakers are designed to allow coffee enthusiasts to make the
perfect cup of great-tasting coffee every time, at a fraction of the cost of
store-bought java. To that end, all
three units have a gold-tone commercial-style permanent filter, as well as a
charcoal water filter that removes chlorine's taste and odor from tap water for
improved flavor.
Design:
All
the new Cuisinart coffeemakers feature sleek styling that will complement any
kitchen. With a compact design that
saves counter space, the FlavorBrew® models are available in black or white
with a stylish control panel with LED indicators. The extra large, 14-cup
capacity of the new Brew Central® is perfect for households with multiple
coffee drinkers, and is designed with an LED control panel and brushed chrome
housing with black accents.
