New Product Cuisinart BrewCentral Coffee Maker

The scoop

Coffee lovers, take note: the Cuisinart BrewCentral Coffee Maker just landed on shelves, and it looks like a serious upgrade for your morning routine.

This is a fully programmable 14-cup drip coffee maker that brews both hot and iced coffee. It features a stainless steel and black finish with a digital display for setting brew times, and it comes with a glass carafe designed to keep coffee at the right temperature via an adjustable warming plate.

What stands out here is the versatility. Between the over-ice brewing feature, the 1-to-4 cup setting for smaller batches, and the shower-head brewing system that Cuisinart says optimizes coffee grind extraction, this machine seems built for households with different coffee preferences. The included gold-tone reusable filter is also a nice touch since it cuts down on paper filter waste and ongoing costs.

Bottom Line: If your current coffee maker is on its last legs, the Cuisinart BrewCentral’s mix of programmability and iced coffee capability makes it a compelling option for the price.
