I have a Cuisinart coffee on demand DCC-3000 and it keep on dripping after you take a cup of coffee

After repeated attempts to fix our Cuisinart coffeemaker gauge, I noticed a metal mechanism in a grooved area at the inside front of the coffeemaker. I was able to push it up and down, which caused the level indicator needle to go back and forth between empty and full. Determined that the hook at the front of the coffee reservoir matched up with this mechanism. There wasn't enough tension in the hook to depress the metal mechanism. Ordered part #DCC-3000CR for my coffemaker model through Cuisinart.com. Just installed the new coffee reservoir and the gauge now works!

Owner's manual? Call their customer service. Usually they are quite helpful. No Owners manual? Google make model maybe serial number.

I've gone through 2 DCC 3000. The first one was replaced for free within the warranty period. The second machine also now drips from time to time from the dispensing spout.
I believe the problem is a coffee ground gets stuck in the dispenser and the reservoir will leak until it's empty. My solution isn't a good one but it works. After pouring each and every cup stop and watch to see if it's still dripping. If not you can walk away. If it IS dripping keep tapping the dispenser until the ground is dislodged and the leak stops.
Inconvenient but it works.
The real solution is to return it and but another brand. Cuisenart will not refund your money. They will only replace it and only replace it with the same model.
Of course you'll still have the same issue with the replacement.

Press the "CLEAN" button and it will light up red. Then press the "ON/OFF" button which will light up blue. Be patient, nothing happens right away, but the cycle has begun. In a few minutes the water reservoir will begin to empty. This self-clean/decalcification process takes approximately 30 minutes. Then pour the water/white vinegar solution out of the coffee reservoir, rinse the water and coffee reservoirs and run one cycle of fresh cold water through before using to brew coffee.

yes

make shure its full of cold water you must use cold

Do you have the DCC-2000?

To delime a multi-cup coffee maker, mix white vinegar with water (1/3 vinegar and 2/3 water) and fill the water reservoir completely. Then turn the coffee maker on. Wait until the unit completes the "brewing" cycle and beeps 5 times. Turn off the coffee maker. Discard the liquid after the cycle. Then fill the reservoir with clean water and turn on again. When this cycle completes, again discard the liquid. Repeat the water rinse if you notice an odd taste to the coffee afterwards. (If the coffee maker still has deposits, repeat the vinegar cleaning cycle and rinse cycles.) There are commercial deliming products, mix them with water following the package directions.

The manual for the DCC-2000 is available as a link here: http://www.cuisinart.com/products/coffee_bar/dcc-2000.html . The direct link to the manual is http://www.cuisinart.com/share/pdf/manuals/dcc-2000.pdf .

I hope this helps.
