Cons
Con More expensive in the long run
The Nespresso capsules cost more than buying high quality coffee beans in bulk. Over time the difference in price will considerably add up. While there are cheaper capsules available, none of them deliver the same taste as the Nespresso capsules.
Con Can only be used with capsules
You won't be able to use regular coffee with this coffee maker. This can be quite inconvenient if you ever forget to restock the capsules, since most stores don't sell them.
Con Can be difficult to position
This coffee maker has a short power cord (17.7"/45cm), which requires you to position it very close to an outlet. If there's no handy spot on the counter with an outlet nearby, you'll be forced to use an extension cord.
Con You can't make a latte without foam
This coffee maker has no setting for making a latte without foam. You can only choose between a small or a large amount of foam.
Con Inconvenient water tank
Filling up the water tank of the Cuisinart DCC-3200 is not as simple as filling the tanks of some other coffee makers because of its inconvenient location.
