I just made this purchase of this coffee machine at a thrift store for a $10.99. It's so awesome and cool looking but for 2 days I had no idea how to turn this thing on. Thank you for making this video. You make it easier for people like me to understand this coffee maker.
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 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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
Just bought the 14 cup brew central. Only ever used Keurig so brewing coffee like this is new to me. The coffee maker has the permanent gold-tone filter. If I want to use a regular filter do I just insert it into the gold tone filter over top of it or am I supposed to remove the gold tone filter and replace it a regular filter?
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
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.
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.
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’m at an Air BnB with this kind of coffee maker, just trying to get it to turn on and brew some coffee! Challenging!

You did a great job explaining the proper use of this coffee maker.Thank you
Straight to the point and well spoken. 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.
I hate reading directions but you explained it perfectly. Thanks for the help.
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 👌🏻

Great video, clears up everything no need to read the booklet ,thanks
I just inherited this model, this was so helpful! Thank you!
Skip to 2:30 if you wonder what that symbol is. It means the coffee is done alert tone is off 😮 Great video. Thank you
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.
Great demo. Just what I needed to know
Hi, could you please explain and show how to clean this coffee maker? you mentioned vinegar, how much vinegar to water ratio? Thanks

Great video. You explained everything very well.
Very informative…I appreciate your help in setting my auto off time. Thank you so much!
Is there a way if i fill the water reservoir but i only want 6 cups of Coffee?
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.
Yeah, watched a few videos no one is explaining what the 1-4 setting really does
Whats the purpose of the plug in the water reservoir that has two holes in it?
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! This video was amazing, excellent tutorial !! ❤

What happens with the 1-4 button? 🐊🏌🦅🇺🇲
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..
Is there a re-heat feature?
Thanks a Million this helped me set mine up...
Thank you so much for this video!! You’re awesome
If you want four cups of coffee, what is the best level to fill it up to and how many scoops of coffee?
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?
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?
Thanks! I encountered this coffee maker on vacation, and I couldn’t get it to work!
This was extremely helpful !!!! Thx so much ! I even took notes. 🙂
this was very helpful!! thank you
Does the blue backlit display always stay on? Even when the coffee maker is off?
Excellent! Very clear. Danke!
Does it auto shut off after an hour or two if you don’t set it???
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?
Awesome video. Told me everything not just one thing
Just bought the 14 cup brew central. Only ever used Keurig so brewing coffee like this is new to me. The coffee maker has the permanent gold-tone filter. If I want to use a regular filter do I just insert it into the gold tone filter over top of it or am I supposed to remove the gold tone filter and replace it a regular filter?
You can insert the paper filter directly in the brew basket and remove the permanent filter. I believe this takes the cone style filters.
Can the Clock backlighting turn off
Hi my (new) machine is hot to the touch (sides and back of machine) and took 10min to brew one cup. Is it broken ?
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
Is the charcoal water filter completely
Optional and removable? I’m already using filtered water
It's both optional and removable.
Is there a way that you can turn back on the hotplate after the time hotplate timer has expired?
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

What is the wattage of the coffemaker? Could that be a clue to how hot or not, the coffeee was brewed to?
I appreciate the help, thanks!
Thanks for great video.
Why does water remain in the filter part even after it sounds ready?
Great walk through
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
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.
Awesome! Thank you!
What kind of filter?
Hit the spot!
Good explanation but I need to know about the filter.
Muchísimas gracias 😊
Thanks. Perfect info...
Ours has started making loud clicking sounds and the coffee is just trickling. Anyone know if this issue is repairable?
What if mine does not have a turn on button?
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.
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.
Thanks. Learned a few things here….
Good video! Mine is over 8 years old and won't turn on. I guess it's time for a new one!
Buenos días.
Porque a mi coffe se le enciende bold una vez que ya está apagado. Gracias
Thank you for sharing
Gracias por las instrucciones
How can I make a instant coffee!??
Have it and learning 😊
Why fo i need the filter?
Thank you!
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?
Watching this tutorial because Im one of the promodiser of this product,
1:21 Sticky? Why?
Thank you.
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.
