Cuisinart DCC-750 F.A.Q.

How do I clean my Cuisinart DCC-750 coffee maker?

To clean your Cuisinart DCC-750, start by turning off the machine and unplugging it. Remove the carafe and filter basket. Wash them with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. For descaling, fill the reservoir with a mixture of one part vinegar to two parts water and run a brewing cycle. Rinse by running a cycle with clean water.

What should I do if my coffee maker won't turn on?

First, ensure that the coffee maker is plugged into a working outlet. Check if the power cord is damaged. If the machine still doesn't turn on, try resetting it by unplugging for a few minutes before plugging it back in. If these steps don't work, consult the user manual or contact Cuisinart customer service.

How can I prevent my coffee from tasting bitter or burnt?

To prevent bitter or burnt tasting coffee, ensure you are using the correct coffee-to-water ratio. Avoid using too fine a grind, which can lead to over-extraction. Regularly clean your coffee maker to prevent buildup that can affect taste.

Why is my coffee maker leaking water?

If your coffee maker is leaking, check if the carafe is properly positioned. Inspect the water reservoir for cracks and ensure the filter basket is seated correctly. If the problem persists, it may require professional repair or replacement of faulty components.

How often should I replace the charcoal water filter?

The charcoal water filter in the Cuisinart DCC-750 should be replaced every 60 days or after 60 uses, depending on your water quality and frequency of use. Regular replacement ensures optimal water quality and taste.

Can I use pre-ground coffee, or do I need to grind my own?

You can use pre-ground coffee in the Cuisinart DCC-750. However, for the best flavor, it's recommended to grind your own beans just before brewing. Adjust the grind size to medium for optimal results.

What is the best way to store my coffee maker when not in use?

When storing your coffee maker, ensure it is clean and completely dry to prevent mold and mildew. Store it in a cool, dry place. Keep all accessories, like the carafe and filter basket, together to prevent loss.

How do I program the auto-brew feature on my Cuisinart DCC-750?

To program the auto-brew feature, press and hold the 'Program' button until the display flashes. Use the hour and minute buttons to set your desired brew time. Once set, press the 'Program' button again to confirm. Make sure the 'Auto-On' function is activated.

What type of coffee filters should I use with my Cuisinart DCC-750?

The Cuisinart DCC-750 is designed to use standard basket-style paper filters or the reusable gold-tone filter that comes with the machine. Using the correct filter type ensures optimal brewing and prevents grounds from entering the coffee.

How can I adjust the strength of the coffee brewed by my machine?

To adjust the strength of your coffee, you can vary the coffee-to-water ratio. Use more coffee for a stronger brew or less for a milder taste. Some models may have a 'Bold' setting to extend the brew time for stronger coffee.
