User questions & answers

Question:	Is the thermal sleeve removable so that the carafe can be washed in the dishwasher? I went on KA's site and this particular model with the sleeve i
Answer:	The water tank is available for separate purchase.
Question:	Does this model have removable water reservoir
Answer:	You can select time for Plate temperature to a maximum 4 hours after brewing is complete. Heating the brewed coffee for more time adds bitterness to the coffee taste. It is advised to consume brewed coffee as early after brewing cycle completes. I am very pleased with this purchase.
Question:	Does the carafe lid come off for cleaning
Answer:	Yes, and also at the end of the heating plate cycle. If you set your plate warming for 2 hours, it will beep and cut off the heat after two hours. The two hour cycle starts at the end of the brewing cycle. A timer on the display shows how much time is left on the heating plate cycle.
Question:	does the Thermal Sleeve really make a difference keeping the coffee hot longer
Answer:	China

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the replacement caraf number for the 12020b
Answer:	Agitation doesn’t change flavor. The roast of your beans does. Also the size of grinding process will effect relative concentration of flavor.
Question:	Does anybody know where I can find a replacement glass coffee pot for this machine
Answer:	The bottom piece is essentially an electric plate that feeds electricity by magnetic convection into a heatinf element in the bottom of the lower pot. A full rolling boil shoots the water through a tube into the upper chamber where the bubbling action extracts the coffee from the grounds. When the water finishes boiling upward, leaving a nearly empty lower pot, the heating element clicks off. After a short cooling period, the coffee drops into the lower pot through the filter, leaving the grounds behind. Bodum pots, made of plastic instead of glass, work the same way.
Question:	My carafe broke what model is used here
Answer:	Maybe 5 min or less
Question:	is the basket cone shaped
Answer:	The question is hard to understand. The display light is on always even at night

User questions & answers

Question:	is the carafe glass or stainless steel
Answer:	It's amazing to me to see comments on anything but what is exactly described within this link for the DCC-3200P1. No, this isn't the DCC-3400. Yes, it has a glass carafe. The description says so in three places. Nowhere does the description mention a stainless carafe - NOWHERE. The photos show glass (I agree two of them have what looks to be coffee brewed, but at least one photo clearly shows an empty GLASS carafe.
Question:	Can you take the carafe out and pour a cup of coffee before it is totally finished brewing (without it continuing to drip
Answer:	Yes you can pour a cup of coffee before it is totally finished brewing. It does not drip. Once you return carafe it just finishes filling. There is no problem with a drip. Per the instructions. It tells you it is ok to do and it works perfectly
Question:	Whar, besides style, is the difference between dcc3200 and dcc
Answer:	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.
