Cuisinart DCC-3000P1 Coffee Maker
About Cuisinart
James Beard and Julia Child both revealed the Cuisinart secret to the public. When the late Carl Sontheimer, the founder of Cuisinart, brought the food processor to America in 1973, they were among the first culinary experts to hailed it as a breakthrough kitchen device. To them, using a food processor was a quick and simple method to prepare delicious and healthful meals.
Our goal is to assist you in “Savouring the Good Life®.” Since 1989, Conair Corporation has been in charge of Cuisinart, and as a result, the brand is still well-known today.
Beyond food processors, Cuisinart is a respected brand. Nobody covers the kitchen like Cuisinart, whether it’s plugged in or not.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

- Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during the brewing cycle.
- Avoid contact with moving parts.
- Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage, always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.
FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
- The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or electric shock to persons.
- The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
OPERATING NOTICE
Clogging and backing up of water and/or coffee in the filter basket can occur under any or a combination of any of the following conditions: The use of too finely ground coffee, using two or more paper filters,
using the gold-tone filter in conjunction with a paper filter not properly cleaning coffee grounds from the gold-tone filter, or allowing coffee grounds to spill over the filter.
Caution: Never open the top cover during the brewing cycle, even if no water is draining from the filter basket, since extremely hot water/coffee can spill out from the filter basket and cause injury.
If water/coffee is not draining from the filter basket during the brewing cycle, unplug the unit and wait 10 minutes before opening the top cover and checking the filter basket.

THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE
- Element 1: WATER
Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that water is as important as the quality of your coffee. If water doesn’t taste good from the tap, it won’t taste good in your coffee. Cuisinart includes a charcoal water filter to remove chlorine, bad taste,s and odors, for the purest coffee flavor, every time you brew. - Element 2: COFFEE
While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor comes from the beans. To achieve the same great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality of coffee. If you choose to grind your beans, buy them fresh and whole. Grind only about a two-week supply at a time, because once the bean is broken, its flavor degrades quickly. - Element 3: GRIND
The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction. If the grind is too fine, over-extraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog the filter. If the grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the maximum flavor will not be extracted. When grinding your beans, we recommend a medium grind. - Element 4: PROPORTION
Add 1 scoop of ground coffee (1 scoop = 1 tablespoon = ~6 grams) per cup (1 cup = 5 fl. oz.). You may wish to adjust this amount according to your taste. Do not use more than 14 scoops (14 tablespoons).
SETTING UP YOUR COFFEEMAKER
- Unwrap the cord and plug the coffeemaker into a grounded outlet. Make sure to remove all stickers and packing materials from the unit.
- Place a large cup or mug (10 oz. minimum) on the drip tray.
- Remove the lid from the water reservoir, then lift the thevoir straight up and away from the coffeemaker. Wash the reservoir with warm soapy water, and rinse.
- Fill the reservoir with water to the 12-cup line and return with a lid to the unit (see Figure 1).
CHARCOAL WATER FILTER
Your coffeemaker comes with a charcoal water filter that eliminates chlorinetastetastes, and odors from tap water.
Inserting the Water Filter
- Remove the filter and filter holder from the polybags.
- Soak the filter, fully immersed in cold tap water, for 15 minutes.
- Press down on the filter compartment on the bottom of the filter holder and pull it toward you to open it.
- Place the filter into the compartment (see Figure 2) and snap it closed. Be careful – improper placement can tear the filter skin.
- Flush the filter by running fresh water through the hole in the bottom of the compartment for 10 seconds.
6. Allow the filter to drain completely.
7. Place the assembled water filter holder into the water reservoir, pushing it down to fit into place (see Figure 3).
MAKING COFFEE
- Insert charcoal water filter
Follow the directions on page 6 for the preparation and insertion of the filter. - Fill the water reservoir
- Remove the lid from the reservoir, then lift the reservoir straight up and away from the coffeemaker.
- Fill the reservoir with water for the number of cups you are brewing, replace the lid, and return to the unit. (see Figure 1). NOTE: If only brewing 2 cups fill with water to the first line marking on the side of the water reservoir.
NOTE: If water gets under the coffee tank or water reservoir, it will end up in the drip tray.
- Set preferences
Push the 1–4 Cup button if you are brewing fewer than 5 cups. - Add the ground coffee
Insert a #4 paper filter OR permanent filter into the filter basket. Be sure that the paper filter is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. Add 1 scoop (1 tablespoon = ~6 grams) of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste. - Before brewing coffee
Make sure the water reservoir is on the unit and the reservoir lid is on the reservoir. Plug into an electrical outlet. - Power unit on
Turn the Function knob to Brew, press the ON/OFF button, and the blue indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto On function and the green indicator will light. - After brewing
When the brewing cycle has been completed, five beeps will sound.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Always turn the coffeemaker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning. Lift the reservoir cover. Remove and discard the filter and ground coffee.
WARNING
Caution: The coffee reservoir may contain hot coffee. Allow cooling before lifting. Remove the filter basket, coffee reservoir, and drip tray. These can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after use.
- Maintenance: Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
- Decalcification: Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.
