Fix leaking problem
This used to be a 5-star coffee maker that lasted forever! Something changed over the past couple of years in the making of it or the internal design. We tried four in a row and all leaked from the bottom all over the counter. This should be a solvable issue for Cuisinart. I want to love this again. Great warranty but weary from packing & returning!

Best coffee maker design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dad bought my first one of these over 10 years ago. At first, I was irritated at my dad because I had an idea of what a coffee maker should look like and this clearly was not it. I am so glad that Cusinart reimagined the coffee maker. I love this coffee maker. It is easy to program, I wake up to freshly brewed coffee, and the coffee stays hot (2-4 hours depending on which setting you choose) until it comes out. There is no thermal loss, as is usually experienced with carafes. The only downside to this coffeemaker is that because it is not yet ubiquitous, visitors can be a bit flummoxed in the morning when trying to get a cup of coffee.

I keep purchasing this model
This is the third purchase I have made of this same coffeemaker over the last 12ish years. I use it every day and it always delivers a great cup of coffee. Easily programmable for timed brewing. It’s the only coffeemaker that I will purchase. I have even recommended it to family members…who have purchased it also.

Good design but product is not long lasting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] On my third one that has died. They are great while they last but this one lasted 11 months. I will enact the warranty but it's disappointing that the product doesn't last. I like the design and that it doesn't have a carafe which is why I keep buying it. But maybe I should look at other brands.

Best Product
This is the 3rd Cuisinart on Demand Coffee Maker we have owned. The prior one was still working well after 10 + years. The Coffee amount indicator wasn't working as a small piece had broken off. That piece is more sizeable in the new one. Love this style. Would highly recommend.

Reliable
Second one of the same. Serves our needs. Must turn dial after auto brew then back to reinitiate auto. Clean light goes on too often with no reason since we use purified water.

Very disappointed
I bought this coffee maker. Was very disappointed in the cord. It was less than 12 inches long. Had to have extension cord to fit to socket.
1 reply from Cuisinart team - 1 month ago
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand the cord length may not be ideal for every kitchen setup; the cord length on this model is an intentional design feature and positioning it closer to a countertop outlet may help provide greater flexibility. Thank you again for your comments, as your feedback helps us evaluate future product enhancements and improvements.

Best coffee maker I ever had
I love the fact that this coffee maker doesn't have a carafe. No worries about breaking a glass one or coffee not being hot. So easy to use!

A Long-Time Owner - Honest Review
I’ve owned three Cuisinart DCC-3000 coffee makers over the years, and the fact that I keep buying the same model says a lot about how much I like it. The biggest advantage is the convenience. Instead of pouring from a carafe, you simply press the lever to fill your cup. It’s quick, easy, and much less messy. The coffee stays hot and tastes great even after the brewer automatically shuts off. The built-in Clean reminder is another nice feature. It periodically reminds you to run a cleaning cycle, making routine maintenance easy to remember. Since I have a whole-house water softener, mineral buildup isn’t much of a concern, but I still appreciate the reminder. My biggest complaint is the coffee level gauge. It’s useful, but on every unit I’ve owned, it’s eventually stopped working. Cleaning the coffee reservoir is also a little more work than washing a traditional carafe. I did have one defective unit that had to be returned because the Clean light started flashing during the initial rinse right out of the box. Fortunately, the replacement worked perfectly. If Cuisinart improved the durability of the coffee gauge, updated the display, added smart/Wi-Fi features, and tightened up quality control, this would easily be a five-star coffee maker. Even so, it’s still my go-to coffee maker after all these years.

Coffee on Demand 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker
Only two weeks in using and already the machine is leaking from the dispenser hole where the cup would set underneath. Manual says the coffee dispensing valve may be clogged, but seriously this soon! I have put in a whole house water system to prevent machine wear down, and this just seems crazy I've got to cross my finger every time I use it hoping it doesn't flood the counter. On top of having to clean the heck out of the coffee filter area when grounds just stick to the the water dispensing holes. Very disappointed in this unit and may be returning it this week.
1 reply from Cuisinart team - 1 month ago
We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Coffee on Demand® 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker. If coffee is leaking from the dispenser area, we recommend ensuring the dispensing lever returns fully to the closed position, rinsing the dispensing valve with warm water to remove any coffee residue, and confirming the reservoir is not being overfilled beyond the maximum fill line. For additional troubleshooting assistance and product support, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901047702. Thank you for sharing your feedback—your comments help us identify opportunities for improvement in future models, and we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.

Better than I hoped
This pot maintains heat so well.;I had a regular drip pot that did not keep 4-5 cups warm for long; do not miss a carafe.

Great coffeemaker!
This is the second coffee maker of this brand and type that we have purchased. The first lasted 17 years and gave us excellent service. A testament to the service and durability of Cuisinart products. This glass carafe-less maker brews excellent coffee, and is very stylish. We would highly recommend.

No different then a regular coffee pot except you get one cup at a time instead of a pot

A Convenient ‘No Carafe’ Coffee Maker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been using this coffee maker for perhaps 20 years now. The initial one was replaced once. Then we moved and, for a while, had two, one in each house; then we sold the second house and gifted the other to a family member. I have a box one in my storeroom just in case the current one needs to be replaced. After such a long time, it's become a legitimate member of the family. I'm gratified to see the coffee maker is still available (though its price recently changed).

Best coffee maker hands-down!
This is my second one of these. The first lasted more than 5 years. It makes the best tasting coffee, no pitcher to scrub (or break), and keeps it nice and hot until you finish it. This one may last even longer for me, as it took a bit of a learning curve to find the best cleaner and best schedule for doing it. I have found that most Cuisinart products are extremely well made and reliable, and this coffee maker is no exception.

Love Love this pot
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my favorite coffee pot like this. I can use my own coffee with filters and coffee comes out so smooth. When the coffee makers go on sale I always buy another one for back-up. This is my 5th one.

All the Perks!
I purchased this coffee maker to replace an older one that was still working but was slow to dispense coffee and the taste was just so-so. This coffee maker is quite the opposite. The upgrade I enjoy the most is having the light underneath where the cup sits so you can see the cup fill and won't under or overfill. It also dispenses coffee at the right speed. Not too quick or slow. The coffee also has a much better taste and is hotter than my other coffee maker, so maybe that's why the coffee tastes better. It's easy to fill, reload with coffee and set the timer each evening so I have fresh coffee when I wake. I can only say positives about this coffee maker and glad I made the purchase!
