Cuisinart DCC 2000 User Manual

Coffee On Demand™  
DCC-2000 Series  
For your safety and continued enjoyment of this product, always read the instruction book carefully before using.  
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.  
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.  
Longer extension cords are available and  
may be used if care is exercised in their use.  
If a long 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.  
IMPORTANT UNPACKING  
INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Place the box on a large, sturdy, flat surface.

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. 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- or two-week portions  
immediately after purchasing, and freeze  
them in airtight containers. The best way to  
maximize freshness is to minimize exposure to  
air, light and moisture. So, once removed from  
the freezer, beans should be maintained 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 this can cause the oils to coagulate,  
while other experts disagree. We suggest you  
experiment and decide for yourself.  
INTRODUCTION  
Cuisinart keeps making life easier! Your Coffee  
on DemandTM Coffeemaker eliminates the  
carafe, so all you or your guests have to do for  
a cup of fresh, hot, flavorful coffee is press a  
lever. A double-wall reservoir keeps up to 12  
cups of coffee hot, and Cuisinart's easy-to-  
read Coffee GaugeTM lets you know how many  
cups are left. Get ready to enjoy pure coffee  
flavor, cup after cup, with Cuisinart.  
Element 3: Grind  
The grind is critical for 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. We recommend  
a medium-fine grind.  
THE QUEST FOR THE  
Element 4: Proportion  
The cups on the Cuisinart® coffeemaker are  
5 ounces. Add the amount of ground coffee  
that corresponds 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.  
PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE  
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  
quality 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 Coffee On DemandCoffeemaker.  
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.

MAKING COFFEE  
Before you make the first batch of coffee  
in your new Cuisinart® Coffee On Demand™  
Coffeemaker, we recommend operating  
the coffeemaker once using only water and a  
paper filter. This will remove any dust or  
residues that remain in the system from the  
manufacturing process.  
To program the Auto On (brew start time)  
1. Turn the function knob to “Prog.”  
2. Set the time you want coffee to begin  
brewing by using the minute and hour  
push-buttons. Follow the same instructions  
you used to set the time of day, in the  
To set the time section above.  
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 reservoir area with your thumb  
and forefinger.

lost in wetting the grounds and lost as  
steam during the brewing process.  
c. Grasp stem in one hand. Using thumb of  
other hand, gently press down and pull  
toward you. Compartment will flip open.  
3. Add the ground coffee:  
Remove the filter basket by grasping the  
handle and lifting straight up, and then 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  
in 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  
d. Place the filter in the holder and close the  
water filter holder; you will hear a snap  
indicating it is in place.  
NOTE: Caution must be used when inserting  
the charcoal filter. Improper placement in the  
holder can cause tearing of the filter skin.  
e. 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.

f. Allow the filter to drain completely.  
1 tablespoon per cup. We recommend  
using 1 tablespoon of ground coffee per  
cup, but use more or less to suit your taste.  
g. Replace the water filter holder in the  
reservoir area of the coffeemaker, pushing  
it all the way down to the base of the unit,  
along the reservoir wall.  
NOTE: The maximum capacity for  
ground coffee is 15 tablespoons for  
this 12-cup coffeemaker. Exceeding  
this amount may cause overflow if  
the coffee is too finely ground.  
NOTE: We recommend changing the water  
filter every 60 days or 60 uses, more often if  
you have hard water.  
Replace the filter basket in the filter basket  
holder, making sure the coffee reservoir is  
in place. Flip the lid closed, and press  
firmly to be sure that it closes securely.  
4. Power unit:  
Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. Turn the  
function knob to brew, turn the On/Off knob to  
“On” and release. The red indicator light will  
turn on. Or, set the Auto On function and the  
green indicator will light.  
Replacement water filters can be purchased  
in stores or by calling customer service or  
through the Cuisinart web site.
