Cuisinart Coffee on Demand DCC-3000 vs Technivorm Moccamaster Cup-One Brewer

I love our new Cuisinart coffee maker and plan to purchase a back up one in case Cuisinart stops making this particular model . I love the concept of making a pot of coffee without a carafe and being able to dispense one cup at a time. The dispenser light and coffee gauge to monitor the coffee amount left in the resevoir are such convenient features and ours work well. The resevoir is easy to clean and this coffee pot is very nice looking

After reading many reviews and looking at many coffee makers, I wanted a reliable, non-espresso, single-cup coffee maker and this one got very good marks from the coffee subreddit and from several friends who know coffee well. It's easy to assemble, easy to use, makes a single 10oz cup of coffee with extremely reliable, consistent temperatures in 5-6 minutes for the cost of water, one 10-cent filter, and 17oz of roasted coffee that I grind with my Encore grinder fresh. I usually drink a single cup per day and no one else in my family drinks coffee, so making a whole pot is a waste. This is cheaper than the pod machines, better coffee (if you buy it--and fresher), and still very fast and consistent

I just can't stress that enough at 189 in canada, i don't think i would kind of pull the trigger on that. That's not my style, but definitely if you c...

Literaly one of those plastic dental picks that I use for my teeth. For the money that this machine costs, its not even close to being worth it. Machine was returned without a problem.

It's got like a reservoir. It keeps it in and then that warming plate at the bottom keeps it nice and hot. Just curious, yeah and the reservoir keeps ...

It’s a great coffee maker but beware if you live at a high elevation. I live in Colorado which is over a mile above sea level, consequently water boils here at about 203 degrees. The Cup-One relies on the boil to send the water up from the heating coils and down the spout to your coffee in the basket. The whole point of this coffee maker is to ensure the water is at the precise temperature and volume so it brews at Gold Cup standards which is between 195 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit

And, the coffee never tastes like it is fully brewed. I keep the internal reservoir clean, and wash the bottom hot plate before each use. I am not a fan of the left side water reservoir, either. Even when I take it off and put it in the sink to add water, I still find it hard to see the respective cup fill lines

Extraction time is regulated by the small hole on the bottom of the filter holder slowing the flow of the water. However, this hole is so small, that if even so much as even a HINT of coffee ground misses your filter and gets inside the holder, it will clog and you will have a mess to clean up. I love the taste of the coffee this thing brews, but it clogs up so frequently that I cannot recommend it.

That's pretty nice. Okay, let's see how hot that cup of coffee is right around 165, so i've been drinking the coffee. It makes a very good cup of coff...

Coffee tastes great as it does not have a bitter aftertaste. Great for households where only 1 person drinks brewed coffee. Easy cleaning. Cons: I've been trying out this coffeemaker model for a week now and in the beginning, I didn't mind nuking the coffee straight into the microwave right after brewing as I found its' hotness a bit tepid for my taste

EDIT (8/24/18): If the "Clean" light comes on every time you run a brew cycle -- even after prior repeated cleanings -- you can probably fix this issue by unplugging the unit for at least one (1) hour, preferably longer. Doing this apparently resets the machine back to its factory settings. As I documented below (yes, I know this review is WAY too long), I had cleaned my DCC-3000 repeatedly and the "Clean" light kept coming on no matter what. There are a lot of complaints about this related to this model and its predecessors

#1 The overly long and thick power cord comes out of the side of the machine as opposed to the back by the wall #2 The filter basket is plastic and feels like a Mr. Coffee maker you would find in a hotel room #3 There is no drip shutoff so you have to stand there waiting for the last drip or you will have a mess #4 the brew cycle takes a long time. Maybe all this is nitpicky but added together I didn't enjoy this machine.
