The Cuisinart DCC-3000 is a 12-cup programmable drip coffee maker that dispenses coffee one cup at a time. A dispenser lever fills a mug or travel cup straight from the reservoir, so no carafe is needed. A light comes on while coffee is pouring.
The removable double-wall coffee reservoir holds up to 12 cups and keeps coffee hot for hours. A coffee gauge shows how much is left. A charcoal water filter removes chlorine, bad tastes and odors from tap water. The showerhead spreads water evenly over the grounds to reduce temperature loss. The filter basket takes the gold-tone commercial-style permanent filter or a paper filter.
The coffee maker is fully programmable. Auto On starts a brew up to 24 hours ahead, and Auto Off shuts it off 0 to 4 hours after the brew cycle ends. A 1-4 cup setting improves extraction, flavor and temperature when brewing fewer than 5 cups. A clean setting signals when to remove calcium buildup. A ready tone sounds five beeps when brewing is done. A power loss back-up system keeps programmed settings for one minute if power fails, a breaker trips or the unit is unplugged.
