I've only had it since Christmas but, so far it works great. Once I determined the amount of coffee grounds needed to suit my taste, it's working just fine. The easy setup and cleanup makes it a joy to work with.

I have owned several DCC-3000 coffee makers over the last several (>10) years in my primary home and a second home. I recently purchased two new DCC-3000P1 tank-type coffee makers after one of mine would continuously overflow its coffee grinds basket, making a mess of the inside lid, basket and tank of the coffee maker. While the new ones were nearly identical, one had the identical tapered gold filter basket as my previous DCC-3000s while the other had a slightly different, slightly smaller, more uniformly round gold filter basket. Oddly enough, of my two new DCC-3000P1 makers, the one with the old style basket overflows just like my previous one while the one more round basket does not. Very frustrating that I unnecessarily replaced a good DCC-3000 when all I probably needed to do is find the new-style gold filter basket. Very frustrating!

We requested this for a Christmas present because we had used a previous model at a friends. It is bigger than expected and made with cheap plastic. The coffee tastes fine and brews very quickly but the basket overflows easily and makes a mess inside the coffee maker. We like not having a pot, one less thing to show water deposits.
I would recommend this to a friend!
