This is the best video on use of the Cuisinart 14 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker DC3200. Far better than Cuisinart's own videos. The Cuisinart direction manual is fine for electrical safety, but it's abysmal re: how to use the coffeemaker. I followed the directions pg. 7 and 8 of manual re: flushing the coffee maker before the first use. I precisely measured 14 cups of water according to directions, only to have the water pour out of the back of the machine all over the countertop. To program the machine to make coffee using the directions was hopeless! I was ready to send this machine back! If I had not seen this video this coffeemaker would be out of here! Now, I will give it a try. It's on probation!
Great explanatory video. I just wanted to clarify the Carafe Temp button sets the hot plate temperature, not the brew temp. I set it to low so the brewed coffee doesn't get burnt after sitting on the hot plate for a stretch. I think the 1-4 and Bold settings may change the brew temp, but the manual is fuzzy on how those features work.
Thanks and you're correct that button is for the hot plate. Even still, with a full pot or 1 - 4 cups I get 155 at best with this model but could just be only the one I got. Other coffee makers I covered on this channel range from 160 - 170, percolators even hotter.
I purchased this coffee maker 2 days ago because it always rates pretty high. The bold feature on this operates like higher-end models where it brews, pauses for a few moments, brews and pauses so it extracts very well. The temperature of the water coming from the shower head stays in the 195 to 205 degree F range and is making a tasty hot cup of coffee.
I don't know if you still have this machine or not but after seeing this video, I did the thermostat check and mine got up to 186 and that was in Medium setting. May I suggest doing the test putting the thermostat in the carafe; when you transfer the coffee to a cup, it drops temp because more than likely, your cup is at room temperature.
What is the meaning of 1-4 button? How much water should be in carafe if doing 1-4? Why does it mean if u dont click 1-4? U didnt show how to actually run it, just the settings button. A lot missing here.
I can not make this machine work. I set up with water and coffee and press brew. Light is on button, but nothing happens. Plus I can’t find a way to turn off the lit button to try something else
How do I get it to brew just 3 cups ? I push the 1-4 and if I have the reservoir full it will brew a half pot . Is that the problem I just need to put the amount of water in cups that I’m wanting I can’t leave reservoir full all the time
Thanks for explaining i have just purchased this last week i don’t know what i am doing wrong, it doesn’t through whole water. water will stay in filter basket 🤔 What i am doing wrong?
There’s a market for videos that just explain how to do the most basic thing. Not how to set the timer or to program it. But you know…how to actually make a cup of coffee in these indecipherable things. Vacation travelers facing new products would thank you.
Bon vidéo, mais zut… pour mon besoin (réparation du circuit d’eau bouillante) il manque un angle de vue: l’angle de côté qui montrerait le couvercle ouvert afin de voir le petit bras et le tout petit tube ! Y a t’il pu pas un bouchon sur celui-ci?
How to brew regularily without timer: Open the top Fill carafe with water With top open look for the basket inside, put a filter in and coffee grounds, Close the lid, and hit Brew the button in the middle. It will start brewing. (Copied from another comment somewhere)
I have one I jus cleaned yesterday n put around 10 c water in tank n programmed it to brew at 8am w the 1-4 c button but it brewed the whole 10 c 😆 so it was weak coffee, since I didnt have a ton of grounds in it
OK I just have one simple question how do you turn this coffee machine to brew coffee right here and right now not all these other programs about setting the coffee for tomorrow or how long for it to stay hot I'm just trying to figure out how to turn this thing on there is no brew coffee button that would be really really nice
If I fill the water to 14, but hit the 1-4 button, does it stop after 4 cups? The manual says it brews a stronger taste, but isn’t that what BOLD is for? I’ve never tried the 1-4
Will the coffee maker not keep the coffee warm if I have the auto on selected? I’d like to brew early in the morning and keep it warm for 4 hours and so far it isn’t working
Keep Warm and Auto on are two separate features. You need to set the Keep Warm to however long you want it (from 0 to 4 hours) but it defaults to 2 hours out of the box.
Just put in the amount of water you want, the 1-4 button is really useless IMO. The temperature hotplate will not adjust if the brewing is on, unplug and then select the low med or high. Also no need for a paper filter.
Coffee makers - electric percolators and drip - are ALL built in Asia and DO NOT work!!!!!! Most people just want a simple coffee maker --- they don't make those anymore. Coffee is also NEVER HOT!!!!!
Did not help me the coffee maker after it gets done making the brewing the coffee it cuts off instantly I don't want it to do that I don't have the instructions for these stupid coffee maker because it was given to me and it is also an older model than what I am seeing on the interview
I’m at an Air BnB with this kind of coffee maker, just trying to get it to turn on and brew some coffee! Challenging!
same 😭
Me too!
Me Third!
Now, it’s working! Thank you!
@@sramirez777 so we all here for the same reason 🤣
Pour water in and hit brew
You did a great job explaining the proper use of this coffee maker.Thank you
I had this coffee maker for almost a year!
The features make it soooo much better! Great tutorial- thank you!
Great to hear! Nice to read these vids are helping people.
Straight to the point and well spoken. Thank you.

Thanks for the thorough demonstration! My new Cuisinart DCC-3200 will arrive from Amazon in just a few hours. Can hardly wait!
Super video…. You have a good temperament to teach. Back ground music spot on!
Best video explaining I found very simple and clear 👌🏻
I hate reading directions but you explained it perfectly. Thanks for the help.
Great video, clears up everything no need to read the booklet ,thanks
Thank you so much! we were wondering what the "auto on" and "auto off" buttons controlled. You did a great job of explaining those features
Glad it was helpful!

I've had this model for 4 weeks now and my coffee has been hot each time it's brewed... with the carafe temp set to M. Good video! :) - 04/27/23.
Very easy to use and gives great HOT coffee.
Thanks , I just bought this for my 80 years old mother . I will gave her the informations !
Great video. You explained everything very well.
Thank you for the explanations. Now I know how to set things up what I needed to do.
What is the meaning of 1-4 button? How much water should be in carafe if doing 1-4? Why does it mean if u dont click 1-4?
U didnt show how to actually run it, just the settings button.
A lot missing here.
Thank you my dad isn’t home and I’m craving coffee lol

Hi, could you please explain and show how to clean this coffee maker? you mentioned vinegar, how much vinegar to water ratio? Thanks
Perfect tutorial so easy. Thank you
Thanks! I encountered this coffee maker on vacation, and I couldn’t get it to work!
I can not make this machine work. I set up with water and coffee and press brew. Light is on button, but nothing happens. Plus I can’t find a way to turn off the lit button to try something else
Thank you x12 for this, I was so lost LOL!!
Whats the purpose of the plug in the water reservoir that has two holes in it?
Good video. Thanks for sharing. Like the BG jazz....
I am confused about the 1-4 cup setting. What if I just want 1 cup?
just add 1 cup of water and push brew.. I never use the 1-4 button.. If I need 3 cups..I add 3 cups of water with 3 tablespoons coffee..
Thanks a Million this helped me set mine up...
Thanks for explanation of coffee pot very easy to follow
How do I get it to brew just 3 cups ? I push the 1-4 and if I have the reservoir full it will brew a half pot . Is that the problem I just need to put the amount of water in cups that I’m wanting I can’t leave reservoir full all the time
Thanks for explaining
i have just purchased this last week
i don’t know what i am doing wrong, it doesn’t through whole water. water will stay in filter basket 🤔
What i am doing wrong?
Great job. Helpful as hell. Thank you.

Thank you, very easy tutorial 😊
This was extremely helpful !!!! Thx so much ! I even took notes. 🙂
Hi have older version..filled with water and coffee..press the brew button... lights up, after about 2 mins it beeps and turns off...any advice amigo?
Good explanation but I need to know about the filter.
Thank you so much for this video!! You’re awesome
Awesome video. Told me everything not just one thing
Is there a way if i fill the water reservoir but i only want 6 cups of Coffee?
Excellent! Very clear. Danke!
this was very helpful!! thank you
What happens with the 1-4 button? 🐊🏌🦅🇺🇲
Hi my (new) machine is hot to the touch (sides and back of machine) and took 10min to brew one cup. Is it broken ?
Bon vidéo, mais zut… pour mon besoin (réparation du circuit d’eau bouillante) il manque un angle de vue: l’angle de côté qui montrerait le couvercle ouvert afin de voir le petit bras et le tout petit tube ! Y a t’il pu pas un bouchon sur celui-ci?
Good video! Mine is over 8 years old and won't turn on. I guess it's time for a new one!
CAn u tell me how to increase the temp coming out of the pod side of my 4n1 cuisnart please
It about 140 should be 185 , the coffee pot side does
Great walk through
Have it and learning 😊
Why does water remain in the filter part even after it sounds ready?
How to brew regularily without timer: Open the top Fill carafe with water With top open look for the basket inside, put a filter in and coffee grounds, Close the lid, and hit Brew the button in the middle. It will start brewing. (Copied from another comment somewhere)
Is there a re-heat feature?
I have one I jus cleaned yesterday n put around 10 c water in tank n programmed it to brew at 8am w the 1-4 c button but it brewed the whole 10 c 😆 so it was weak coffee, since I didnt have a ton of grounds in it
I did the same, did you figure it out. Do we need to add just 4 cups which defeats the point. Or am I missing something?
Thanks. Learned a few things here….
How do I use dgb-850
What if mine does not have a turn on button?
Good video
OK I just have one simple question how do you turn this coffee machine to brew coffee right here and right now not all these other programs about setting the coffee for tomorrow or how long for it to stay hot I'm just trying to figure out how to turn this thing on there is no brew coffee button that would be really really nice
I go over that at around the 3:17 mark. Just select the "brew off auto off" button which serves as an on/off button
Is the charcoal water filter completely
Optional and removable? I’m already using filtered water
It's both optional and removable.
Thank you!
Thank you very helpful ☺ 😊
Great thanks!
I appreciate the help, thanks!
Thanks for great video.
Awesome! Thank you!
Does the blue backlit display always stay on? Even when the coffee maker is off?
Thanks. Perfect info...
Is there a way that you can turn back on the hotplate after the time hotplate timer has expired?
Watching this tutorial because Im one of the promodiser of this product,
Gracias por las instrucciones
Thank you.
What kind of filter?
Ours has started making loud clicking sounds and the coffee is just trickling. Anyone know if this issue is repairable?
Buenos días.
Porque a mi coffe se le enciende bold una vez que ya está apagado. Gracias
Thank you
Can the Clock backlighting turn off
Using this coffeemaker as high mode, it’s not as hot as I’d like either, so I put my cup of coffee in the microwave every time. 😮
What is the wattage of the coffemaker? Could that be a clue to how hot or not, the coffeee was brewed to?
s/b 165 minimum. Thanks for letting me know.
I need to know how to use the clean button and you went through everything except for that. UGH
If I fill the water to 14, but hit the 1-4 button, does it stop after 4 cups? The manual says it brews a stronger taste, but isn’t that what BOLD is for? I’ve never tried the 1-4
No, it will brew as much water as you put in the tank.
I have a one of this..my problem is how to keep warm the coffee?? Can you help???
You need to set the Keep Warm to however long you want it (from 0 to 4 hours) but it defaults to 2 hours out of the box.
Muchas gracias me sirvió de mucho
Will the coffee maker not keep the coffee warm if I have the auto on selected? I’d like to brew early in the morning and keep it warm for 4 hours and so far it isn’t working
Keep Warm and Auto on are two separate features. You need to set the Keep Warm to however long you want it (from 0 to 4 hours) but it defaults to 2 hours out of the box.
Just put in the amount of water you want, the 1-4 button is really useless IMO. The temperature hotplate will not adjust if the brewing is on, unplug and then select the low med or high. Also no need for a paper filter.
How can I make a instant coffee!??
1:21 Sticky? Why?
If you unplug the coffee machine will you use all programming , such as time etc?
Yes, if it is unplugged after a certain amount of time it will lose the programming.
Clean light won't come off after cleaning it. Never will I buy Cuisinart again
Coffee makers - electric percolators and drip - are ALL built in Asia and DO NOT work!!!!!! Most people just want a simple coffee maker --- they don't make those anymore. Coffee is also NEVER HOT!!!!!
the instruction say theres a "brew pause" feature. where is at?? LOL
Did not help me the coffee maker after it gets done making the brewing the coffee it cuts off instantly I don't want it to do that I don't have the instructions for these stupid coffee maker because it was given to me and it is also an older model than what I am seeing on the interview
