Programmable Filter Brew™ 12-Cup Coffeemaker  
DCC-1000  
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 spreader  
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.  
SPECIAL CORD SET  
INSTRUCTIONS  
A short power-supply cord is provided to

While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the  
flavor should be from the coffee. To achieve  
the same great quality cup of coffee you  
receive at a coffee bar, you need to use the  
same quality beans.  
The Quest for the  
Perfect Cup of Coffee . . . . . . . . . . . .Page 3  
If you choose to grind your own beans, buy the  
beans fresh and whole, only about a two week  
supply at a time for maximum freshness. Once  
the coffee bean is broken, its flavor degrades  
very quickly. If it is not practical to buy small  
supplies, we recommend you separate larger  
amounts of beans into one to two week  
portions immediately after purchase and freeze  
them in airtight containers. The best way to  
maximize freshness is to minimize exposure  
to air, light and moisture. Once beans have  
been removed from the freezer, maintain them  
in a sealed container at room temperature,  
since damaging condensation occurs every  
time the beans are removed from the freezer  
or refrigerator. Note that some coffee experts  
advise against freezing dark-roast beans  
because it can cause the oils to coagulate,  
while others disagree. We suggest you

INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations on your purchase of the  
Cuisinart® Programmable Filter BrewTM 12-cup  
Coffeemaker. This model comes with a  
charcoal water filter. The water filter ensures  
great tasting coffee without all of the impurities.  
This Programmable Filter BrewTM 12-cup  
Coffeemaker also comes with advanced  
features such as a 24-hour programmable digi-  
tal clock with delayed brew, automatic shutoff  
and an audible beep that signals the end of the  
brew cycle for convenient, great tasting coffee.  
experiment and decide for yourself.  
Element 3: Grind  
The grind is critical in proper flavor extraction.  
If the grind is too fine, overextraction and  
bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may  
also clog your filter. If grind is too coarse, the  
water will pass through too quickly and the  
desired flavors will not be extracted.  
THE QUEST FOR  
THE PERFECT CUP  
OF COFFEE  
Element 4: Proportion  
The cups on the Cuisinart coffeemaker are  
4.5 ounces. Add the desired amount of ground  
coffee, corresponding to the number of cups  
being brewed. Many coffee bars and the  
Specialty Coffee Association of America  
recommend adding 2 rounded tablespoons  
of coffee per 6 ounces of water. Some  
coffee manufacturers recommend using one  
tablespoon per cup. We recommend using 1  
tablespoon of ground coffee per cup, but use  
more or less to suit your taste.  
It is generally agreed that there are four basic  
elements critical to the perfect cup:  
Element 1: Water  
Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the  
quality of the water is as important as the qual-  
ity of the coffee. A good rule of thumb is that if  
your water doesn’t taste good from the tap, it  
won’t taste any better in your coffee. That’s  
why Cuisinart has added a water filter to the  
Programmable Filter Brew12-Cup  
Coffeemaker. The charcoal water filter  
removes chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for  
the purest cup of coffee every time.  
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground  
coffee is 15 tablespoons for this 12 cup  
coffeemaker. Exceeding these amounts  
may cause overflow if the coffee is too  
finely ground.

AND BENEFITS

2. Water Reservoir  
3. Showerhead (not shown)  
Distributes water evenly over coffee,  
reducing temperature loss as water  
passes through grounds.  
The Programmable FilterBrew™ 12-cup  
Coffeemaker is designed to produce great coffee  
and, at the same time, remain easy to use and  
easy to clean. A flip top cover allows for easy  
access to the water reservoir, filter basket, and  
water filter. We made a water reservoir with a  
large fill area for easy filling from both the front  
and sides of the unit to minimize spills. Our  
unique showerhead minimizes temperature  
loss by evenly distributing the water onto the  
grounds. A water filter guarantees the purest  
coffee, and the handgrip on the filter holder  
makes holder easy to insert and remove. The  
carafe is heat resistant with a comfortable grip,  
knuckle guard to prevent accidental burns, and  
a dripless spout to make pouring safe and easy.  
This deluxe model also has programmable  
capabilities for auto on and off times, so your  
coffee is fresh whenever you want it, any time  
day or night.

a snap indicating it is in place.  
g. Hold the filter under cold running tap  
water for 10 seconds to flush. You should  
place the hole openings in the side of the  
unit directly under the water stream.  
h. Allow the filter to drain completely.  
i. Replace the water filter holder in the  
reservoir area of the coffeemaker, push-  
ing it all the way down to the base of the  
unit.  
NOTE: if you leave the control knob in the  
auto-on position and let the auto-off function

starts blinking.  
2. Fill the water reservoir:  
Remove the carafe from the heating plate.  
Open the carafe cover and fill with cold water  
to just over the amount of coffee you are  
making. This is to account for the amount of  
water lost in wetting the grounds and lost as  
steam during the brewing process. Close the  
carafe cover. Lift the lid of the water reservoir  
and pour the water from the carafe into it.  
Replace the carafe on the heating plate.  
To change the hour and minutes, use the  
pushbuttons as you would to set the time  
of day. The Auto Off time can be set from  
zero to four hours in minute increments. At  
the end of the keep warm cycle, two beeps  
will sound. If no auto off time is set, the  
coffeemaker will turn off after two hours.  
3. Add the ground coffee:  
Remove the filter basket by grasping the  
handle and lifting straight up, and place it  
on the countertop. Insert a #4 paper filter or  
permanent filter. Be sure that the paper filter  
is completely open and fully inserted into the  
basket. It may help to fold and flatten the  
seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add the  
desired amount of ground coffee,  
corresponding to the number of cups being  
brewed. Many coffee bars and the Specialty  
Coffee Association of America recommend  
adding 2 rounded tablespoons of coffee per 6  
ounces of water. Some coffee manufacturers  
recommend using one tablespoon per cup.  
We recommend using 1 tablespoon of ground  
coffee per cup, but use more or less to suit  
your taste.  
MAKING COFFEE  
Before making the first pot of coffee in  
your new Cuisinart® Filter BrewDeluxe  
Coffeemaker, we recommend operating  
the coffeemaker once using only water  
and a filter paper. This will remove any dust  
or residues in the system that remain from  
the manufacturing process.  
1. Insert the Water Filter  
a. Remove the filter from polybag and soak  
in cold tap water for 15 minutes.  
b. Remove the water filter holder from the  
coffeemaker by lifting it out of the reser-  
voir area with your thumb and forefinger.  
c. Hold the water filter holder lengthwise  
and place thumbs in slots directly under  
arrows.  
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground  
coffee is 15 tablespoons for this 12 cup  
coffeemaker. Exceeding these amounts  
may cause overflow if the coffee is too  
finely ground.  
d. Pull open in opposite directions with  
thumbs.  
e. Place the filter in the holder recess area  
at the bottom of the water filter holder.  
NOTE: It will only fit correctly in one end  
of this unit.  
Replace the filter basket in the filter basket  
holder and flip the water  
reservoir lid closed. Be sure that it closes  
securely in place.  
f. Close the water filter holder; you will hear  
7
Before brewing coffee:  
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh  
cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.  
Make sure you have replaced the glass carafe in  
its position on the warming plate and closed the  
top cover. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.  
Never immerse base unit in water or other  
liquid. To clean base, simply wipe with a  
clean, damp cloth and dry before storing.  
Wipe warming plate with a clean, damp  
cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials  
or cleansers to clean the warming plate.  
Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir  
with a cloth, as lint may remain.  
4. Power unit:  
Turn the function knob to the “On” position and  
the red indicator will light. Or set the Auto On  
function, and the green indicator will light.  
5. During and after brewing:  
The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to  
remove the carafe from the heater before brew  
cycle is finished. The brewing process does  
not stop during this period; only the flow of  
coffee from the basket. Do not remove the  
carafe for longer than 30 seconds or the coffee  
may overflow from the basket stops. While we  
offer this feature, we do not recommend you  
pour the coffee before the cycle has reached  
completion, since the coffee brewed at the  
beginning of the cycle has a flavor profile  
which is very different from the flavor at the  
end of the cycle. Removing a cup during  
the brewing cycle will alter the flavor of the  
finished pot.  
DECALCIFICATION  
Decalcification refers to removing the calcium  
deposits that form on the metal parts of the  
coffeemaker over time.  
For best performance from your Cuisinart  
coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit every  
so often. The frequency depends upon the  
hardness of your tap water and how often  
you use the coffeemaker.  
To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity  
with a mixture of 1⁄  
3
white vinegar and 2⁄  
water.  
3
Turn the function knob to on. One cycle should  
be sufficient to adequately clean the coffee-  
maker. When the cycle is completed, the five  
beeps will sound. Then run one cycle of fresh  
cold water through the unit before using the  
unit again to brew coffee.  
Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it  
before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee  
at the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat  
stronger than the coffee at the top.  
CLEANING AND  
MAINTENANCE  
REPLACING THE  
WATER FILTER  
Completely clean and dry all parts after  
every use.  
a. Remove the new filter from polybag and  
soak in cold tap water for 15 minutes.  
b. Remove the water filter holder from the  
coffeemaker by lifting it out of the reservoir  
area with your thumb and forefinger.  
c. Hold the water filter holder lengthwise and  
place thumbs in slots directly under arrows.  
d. Pull open in opposite directions with thumbs.  
e. Remove the old filter from the holder and  
discard.  
Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove the  
plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.  
Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and  
discard the paper filter and ground coffee.  
The filter basket can be washed in warm  
soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned  
in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all  
parts after use.  
f. Place the new filter in the holder recess  
area at the bottom of the water filter holder.  
NOTE: It will only fit correctly in one end of  
this unit.  
g. Close the water filter holder; you will hear a  
snap indicating it is in place.  
h. Hold the filter under cold running tap water  
for 10 seconds to flush. You should place  
the hole openings in the side of the unit
