Cuisinart Coffee Maker, 12 Cup Programmable Drip, DCC-3000P1, Black

After one day of use and two brews, I'm very satisfied with the Cuisinart DCC-3000. Like another user said, it's tall! But there is about 1 3/4" clearance to my cabinets. Like another Cuisinart I've owned, I had to pull it out from under the cabinets anyway to prepare it to brew, so what's the problem? Slide it out, throw in the coffee and water, and then slide it back. Haven't most of us done it that way for years? 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.

Nothing good ever lasts forever, sadly. And this is never more true with a mechanical device. But awesome design does last a lifetime and Cuisinart's coffee maker is just such a design. Each of them have lasted around eight years - a small miracle these days - and they've made awesome coffee each and every day. Our current model is still doing fine but has developed a weird leak that leaves a small puddle underneath. I bought this current one as a back-up and because the Prime Day deal was too good to pass up. We won't be unpacking the new one until the current one decides to give up. So what is so awesome about this coffeemaker? Well the coffee, obviously, to begin with. But more than that, it's the single serve (with a small light over the dispenser) cup that stays hot for two hours before turning off the heater automatically. Coffee taken at the two hour mark is never burnt. Coffee taken at the three hour mark is still pretty hot and coffee taken the next morning still tastes awesome (though I like mine microwaved for a minute but my husband drinks it cold!). It is easy to clean - all the parts go in the dishwasher (well except the machine itself). You can use a metal filter or a metal filter with a disposal filter or just a disposal filter. The metal plate/grate under the coffee dispensing area catches any drips plus condensation from the machine (via a slot). This grate is removable to fill bigger "to-go" cups. The water bucket is removable to fill manually at the sink and also has a built-in device to hold a water filter if so desired. The water is heated to the correct temperature and then is dispensed via a "shower head" over the coffee grounds. Most coffee makers only have one hole but not this one! It's programmable - you can set it up the night before with water and coffee grounds, set the timer and voila! Coffee will be hot and ready for you the next morning... My only quibble with this machine is that the first version we owned had a much better dial that showed how much coffee was left in the pot - the second (and now third) have a dial that is a little deceiving in that it's square not oval. So halfway down means there's only one cup left - not half of what was made. Overall, we've been so happy with this coffeemaker that we've bought three in the last 17 years and the third is just a back-up for when #2 finally gives up.

Es excelente esta cafetera, merece cada peso que inviertes

My coffee maker suddenly broke so I read several consumer reports and this model was in most of them if not all of them, ranked No. 1 via one report from the official "Consumer Reports" brand. 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.

同じものを使用中なのですが、延長保障が切れたのと故障した時に販売終了だと嫌なので、 予備の保管用に購入しました。 （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。

Excelente cafeteira. Está é a segunda que compro. A outra durou 10 anos.

大変、便利に使わせていただいております。 なお、自宅のほうでも使っているのですが、修理等は、どのようにすればよろしいでしょうか 少し調子が悪いのですが（古い分）連絡先が、あればお知らせください。
