Product Description
Coffee Without the Carafe!
Cuisinart lets you have your coffee on demand! The Cuisinart DCC-3000 Coffee on Demand dispenses one cup at a time with an easy to use actuator. Hold up to 12 cups of coffee in the double-wall coffee reservoir. The easy to read coffee gauge lets you know how many cups of coffee are left, and the included charcoal water filter keeps your coffee tasting great. The DCC-3000 makes coffee easy-- its fully programmable with 24-hour advance brew start, programmable auto shutoff, self-clean, and a 1-4 cup setting to brew smaller amounts that still taste delicious. Remove both the coffee and water reservoirs for easy clean up.
Note:Coffee grounds/particles are accumulating coffee container where the brewed coffee exits the container, which prevents the gasket from sealing correctly when the dispense lever is released. When/if this happens, the valve needs to be rinsed with tap water while holding the valve (located on the bottom of the container) open to flush any grounds/particles out.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I really like the controls. They are simple...like the Cuisinart DCC-1200, but better arranged. A button replaced the on/off toggle on this new model, but it is otherwise quite similar. If you've own other Cuisinart's like me, you will be instantly at home with this unit.
Somebody must actually read these reviews at Cuisinart, because they did increase the size of the clock to the point you can comfortably read the black numerals on the electronic blue background from about five feet away. No longer must your squat down or get on your knees to program it with your reading glasses on. (But I'm still waiting for one I can see from across the room at the dining table. I know you techs at Cuisinart can do this!)
The setup for the clock is almost identical to the DCC-1200 I purchased several years ago, and that made an already easy task very simple perform. With that done it was time to put this jewel to work.
Pull it out from under the cabinet, Open the left reservoir and pour in H2O to the 12 cup line (water reservoir is scaled 3-12 in 1 cup increments). Want to make a 3 or 4 cups really fast...yes you can. There is a button for that.
You have your choice of filling it on the machine or lifting the reservoir off and taking it to the water source where it might be more convenient for your particular setup. Lifting the hatch on the right hand side of the brewer exposes the coffee reservoir and coffee basket carriage in which sits one of those gold screen baskets. In this instance it is nice to lift the basket out and load it on the counter, otherwise I'd have coffee all over the counter and brewer. There isn't much more to do to remove the coffee reservoir when time for cleanup later. I use a paper filter in the basket to keep the grounds in the coffee to a minimum.
A full 12 cup brew was just under 10 minutes without some of the loud steam sounds familiar in the DCC-1200. That's an unexpected plus. Put in your favorite mug or cup, press the dispense button and...Holy moly...what is that? A light came on above the cup so you can see how full you are pouring! Awesome!!! A nice little LED light that should outlast the coffee maker. (I tell you folks, they'll get that clock up to the right size. You just wait and see!)
And the acid test...taste. It was really quite good. I didn't have anything in the house except some classic roast Folgers, but it was very good...way better tasting than average. Yep...a keeper. I drank the reservoir dry after several hours. I did not experience burnt tasting coffee as mentioned by some other reviewers. I would probably have appreciated it if they had kept the three position switch for the carafe temperature from the DCC-1200, in this model, but as I said, no burnt taste so far.
Cleanup was very simple and I've already got it programed for Auto-Run in the morning. Do I miss the carafe from my old DCC-1200? Nope! In all seriousness, you will be happy with this coffee maker too. Cuisinart has designed and produced another excellent coffee maker. Is it perfect? No...But what is? They certainly have made some major improvements and I can almost promise you that Cuisinart is not through designing and building great coffee makers that last a long time so you can get your value from them.
Don't forget that you are getting the added protection and customer service from Amazon who have gone out of their way to make you happy and keep you there time after time.
Update on March 02, 2015: I've had this Cuisinart DCC-3000 for 8 months now and am still extremely pleased with it. For those who asked about filling tall cups in this thing...yes you can. Secret? This coffee maker has a long enough electrical cord that you can pull the unit out to the edge of the counter. Actually, I pull it until it's hanging 1/3 over the edge. Pull out the drip tray and set it to the side, and then you can fill up that giant mug from the 7-11 store. Really! I do it nearly every week before going to a bible study where we drink lots of java. If that clearance issue was stopping you from buying this great coffee machine, wait no longer.
I'm not a coffee connoisseur nor a caffeine addict. I just appreciate what little does enter my system, be the best of its intended purpose. I grew up on a ranch with 'Hobo' coffee ( coffee grounds in water, simmered over a fire and sifted through a sorta clean neckerchief). The means were crude, but the results equivalent to the French Press...... well, sorta.
I found the DCC-3000 complies to our requirement. We live in a split shift environment. My son is up way early, I pop up an hour later and my wife, with her international marketing is up as I'm leaving. With the soft heat warming feature and internal brewed coffee storage container, we all receive a fairly good cup of coffee. I did find the first couple cups of coffee ( when it begins brewing 12 cups) is a little stronger, and it is not as hot, since the temperature of the first few cups are absorbed by the cooler components of the machine. However, at the end of the brewing cycle, that cup is definitely the best. And, fairly consistent an hour later.
My ideal coffee dispensing machine would accommodate a full one or two pound bag of coffee beans, hard plumbed to the RO water filter supply. Ground, brewed and dispensed, one cup at a time, hot and fresh in less than 30 seconds. I would consider that 'On Demand'. Yet, it would be at a cost of flavor loss without steep time.
The Grind feature of our prior Cuisinart was quickly bypassed. The internal humidity would dampen the grinding beans not allowing them to be properly blown into the straining container, and requiring special attention to function. The glass carafe was nice for appearance and viewing the content, but it required higher heat to keep at a good temperature. The stainless steel thermal container retained the temperature longer requiring less heating, but a loss of the familiar glass. Both of which are still just another item to deal with in the process of acquiring a cup of coffee. These are the features I considered when deciding to purchase the DCC-3000. After a few months of operation, the most I can pick on is the level gauge. Which, in itself, is the most feasible compensation for not physically viewing the brewed content volume. Not high tech, but it works.
The price is well over the first coffee pot I used, but as long as they last, their features of convenience, ease of use and overall appearance, this unit is well worth the space it occupies on my counter. Yes it does deliver a good cup of coffee, as I demand..... and no neckerchiefs were harmed during the process.
Top reviews from other countries
I was intrigued by the notion of no coffee pot. I thought it was a really nice-looking machine. But in theory, I felt like there would be more cleaning to do because the coffee is stored inside the machine in a reservoir, and I assumed it would be tricky to clean that out every day.
I decided to just give it a shot. It arrived and right away, I thought it looked a lot more impressive than I'd expected. It's a very sharp looking machine. Also, it keeps a pot of coffee hot longer than your typical coffee pot, in my experience. This is important to me as I drink coffee for hours after I wake up.
First night, I set the coffee maker to brew a pot 10 minutes before I would be waking up. I got up that morning, came to my kitchen, viola. Fresh brewed coffee, no pot, just a convenient tab you press down like when you're getting coffee in a hotel lobby.
Have had it for about a week now. Cleaning the coffee filter out and the coffee reservoir (the chamber that holds the whole pot of coffee inside the machine, is much easier than I expected. Both the coffee filter and the coffee reservoir/chamber have convenient little handles, and they slide right out of there with ease. And then it's really easy to rinse them.
I can honestly say that so far, this coffee maker has been much better in general than I expected. It looks nicer than I expected, it's easier to operate and clear than I anticipated, the coffee stays hotter and taste better than I'd expected.
Really good buy here.

(クイジナートはアメリカのメーカーのため、修理の際は保障期間中は代替品と交換になるはずです。)
味はお湯を沸かして手で淹れるのと明らかに違い、このコーヒーメーカーで淹れたコーヒーは
まろやかで飲みやすいと思います。
温度が低いという意見もあるようですが、私はちょうど飲み頃の温度で満足しています。
大勢で集まる時も大活躍で、飽きのこないデザインも注目の的です。
味も満足ですが、このデザインは国産メーカーにも見習って欲しいですね。
1. The dispensing system, as I don’t carry the pot to a table, I just pour a cup when I want it.
2. No more crusties on, or the finish coming off the bottom burner.
3. Looks much tidier on the counter.
With respect to the complaints of others:
1. The power cord is enclosed in a cavity at the back of the machine. It is about 2’ long. The unused cord is out of sight and tidy. BUT, I did have to pull harder than I expected to get it to begin to come out.
2. Drips and leaking - the dispenser has a spring loaded valve similar to any coffee maker where you can steal a cup while brewing. If grounds escape the filter they will likely break the seal. THIS MUST BE KEPT CLEAN.
3. Carbon filter - there is a holder for it, so it does not float around as at least one reviewer stated. Don’t know if it actually does anything, I use filtered water to begin with.
4. Heat - serves a hotter cup than the machine it replaced.
5. Clock / timer while not intuitive works - read the manual.
Cons:
1. It requires more cleaning, more regular cleaning than a standard machine - see drips
2. While everything that requires cleaning is modular and lifts right out, the reservoir has a lip all the way around the top which prevents easy draining of old coffee or rinse water. I’d like to see a spout area.
3. The manual could be a bit more detailed, to avoid most of the above complaints.
I like it. For me the pros far outweigh the cons. It is a tidy looking machine that makes a good cup of hot coffee. I will leave a cup under the dispenser while brewing and I won’t have it brew when I am not attending it.
