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

I have severe psoariatic arthritis in my hands. I was finding it hard to lift my insulated steel coffee pot due to weight. I was debating whether to spend the money on this. I found one on Amazon Resale that was around $58. I was so happy! It said "like new", "only box damage". I thought this is great. When it arrived, no visible box damage. The coffeemaker sent to me was filthy with dirt, scratched, and had burnt on coffee, both in the brewing chamber, and caked around the heating element where coffee isn't supposed to be. It didn't have the paper or permanent filters as described. There was no manual either. I downloaded that myself. It took me 3 days to thoroughly clean it. That said, it's working for now and I enjoy the hot coffee on demand. Not having to pick up the pot anymore is a plus. It brews faster than my old one did. The coffee tastes great. I really like Cuisinart products. I have a single serve Cuisinart also. I hope it holds up. I never purchased from Amazon Resale before, so I guess buyer beware.

After going through at least 4 different brands of coffee makers, this IS THE ONE!I cannot begin to express my frustration with the number of "trash" coffee makers I have ordered and returned before finding this absolute GEM!This is a "carafe-less" unit that features some impressive capabilities, including programmable start and shut-off times.Very easy to clean and set up, and above all, it has excellent build quality!I have had a couple of bad experiences with another brand of carafeless makers; they leaked, and the taste of the coffee was NOT the greatest, not to mention that when it dispensed, the coffee was NEVER HOT. I usually had to stick my cup in the microwave for 30 seconds to get the coffee HOT! (See Hamilton Beach).This one is NOT that! Steaming HOT coffee every single brew, and the built-in warming timer keeps the coffee HOT until the unit shuts off.If you are looking for a new coffee maker, I cannot stress enough how wonderfully made and great this maker is.I am TRULY SATISFIED with this purchase, and would highly recommend it for purchase.

This is a well thought out coffeemaker. I love that it does not have a glass carafe to break, and that it fills one cup at a time neatly and cleanly. The little light over the cup is a huge help, especially on an early winter morning so I don’t overfill the cup. I have recommended this machine to several people and they love it as much as i do. I just wish there were a way to back up the programmable part so it isn’t necessary to do it all over each time I unplug the machine or the power goes out. Thanks for a great product!

Our coffee maker broke, and based on recommendations from 2 friends, we decided to purchase this coffee maker. Great coffee maker!! We set it up the night before and wake up to steaming hot coffee. Unlike our old coffee maker that had a carafe, the reservoir in this coffee maker stores the coffee, keeps is steaming hot, and then dispenses it when you are ready. After coffee sits in a carafe for a while, it cools off and is not steaming. This coffee maker is a great buy. Very happy with our purchase.

We've had some time to use it and now I can share my thoughts. Overall, I really like it, but it definitely has flaws. The unit needs to be a little bit higher to allow travel mugs to fit under the pour spout. I wish I could set the heater to stay on longer than 4 hours (I would prefer 8 hours). I think the filter stick is a silly design choice, just make a snap in holder for the filter I don't need the long stick, which comes loose and floats around in the water tank sometimes. The coffee does taste great; the unit does a good job brewing. It is easy to clean, mostly, but I wish the warming plate was removable for even easier cleaning. The "ready tone" became extremely quiet, and we can no longer hear the beep when it's done brewing. I love the "fuel gauge" so I can always know how much hot coffee remains. Overall, I'm happy with it.

This coffee pot has been absolutely amazing and one of the best we've had to date. As someone who loves coffee, I expect a lot of my coffee pot and while it may not be the fanciest we have owned, Cuisinart delivers with this coffee pot. With its compact design and fairly inexpensive price tag, I have been very happy with this compact coffee pot in my relatively small kitchen. Best of all, it produces the best-tasting coffee rather quickly, allowing us to enjoy our morning coffee without much hassle. Along with being very durable, I love this coffee pot's functionality, which allows me to enjoy a great cup of coffee without many breakable parts that require constant cleaning (I had glass carafes). It is very easy to program it and even delay brewing, making it a great coffee for any coffee lover!
