## Description

Brand Story By Cuisinart

Review: Only uses 1.9oz beans per pot - I must refute the other reviewer who complains that this coffee maker uses too much coffee. It is not his fault, he read the manual. The manual states that the hopper holds 1/2lb of coffee beans, and that this is enough for 2 pots. What they failed to mention, is that they recommend that you keep the hopper half full. So what they are really saying is that it takes 1/8 lb of coffee per pot. I verified this: I prepared my unit to make 12 cups of coffee. I set the strength to "STRONG", this should maximize the bean usage. I then let the unit grind the beans, when it finished, and before any water touched the grounds, I stopped the unit. I placed a bowl on my digital kitchen scale, and zeroed the scale. I then poured the grounds from the basket into the bowl on the scale. The scale read 1.9 oz., or about 1/8 of a pound. This is exactly the same amount of coffee beans I used with our old coffee maker, some people this it is a lot, but I like my coffee like that. Also, the review stated that the beans were not evenly wetted. Examination of the ground after brewing with my machine did not find any evidence of this. Because the burr grinder created uniformly sized grains, there is little "dust" to soak up large amounts of water, so to someone used to a blade grinder, the grounds may not seem wet enough. All-in-all I love this machine. It is the fourth Cuisinart "Grind and Brew" we have owned, and it seems that they have really fixed most of the issues on this machine. I will give a a history of our machines and the problems we have had with them below: First unit, was similar to a DGB-300,this was a terrible machine. [...] 1) The electronics are located against the heating element. It died from massive electronics malfunctions after only two months of daily use. 2) Not having a thermal carafe, the coffee was burned in the glass pot. I will not buy a coffee maker without a thermal carafe, period. 3) It had the "steam in the grinder" problem, so it required that everything be cleaned and dried after use. If the grinder was not dry, the grounds would clog. Second unit was a DGB-600BC, we loved this machine, even with its faults.[...] 1) It had the "steam in the grinder" problem, so it required that everything be cleaned and dried after use. If the grinder was not dry, the grounds would clog. 2) After a while, the rails the basket slides on to eject, get gummed up. Also the release button jams. It is very difficult to clean. I ended up violating the safety instructions by hosing the lower portion of the machine down with the sprayer in my kitchen sink to get the basket to come out. And then letting it dry for a day before using it. 3) After 5 years of use, it finally just died. The grinder was worn out, and the machine was just nasty. After looking at other machines be bought a second Second DGB-600BC. 1) Same as before, but I was a little better now at keeping it clean. 2) After 4 years the handle on the carafe separated from the top because of plastic fatigue. I put s screw through it into the side of the pot, and we used it like that for another two years. 3) The carafe lids had a major design problem. It is the little float valve that lives under the bubble on the top center of the lid. It gets covered with oil from the coffee, and gets quite gross. I ended up prying the bubble off, which is welded or glued in place, and cleaning this nasty bit with de-greasing soap. That they don't allow all the parts to be dissembled for cleaning is a design disgrace. Once the bubble was pried off there was no way to put it on, as I didn't like the idea of my coffee running through any of the available plastic glues. So we had to constantly fuss with it whenever we made coffee. The insides of this lid need to be cleaned frequently, and Cuisinart should not expect people to just buy a replacement lid that often. 4) This unit finally died after 6 years of daily use because the teeth on the shaft of the motor that turns the grinder stripped out. It wasn't because the grinder gummed up, it just wore out. 5) We have to keep it in a tray on the counter, as sometimes it has "accidents". Well, we just bought the DGB-900BK. [...] 1) It looks like they have fixed the "steam in the grinder" problem, so after use cleaning is much easier. 2) I love burr ground coffee, it is also a little quieter. 3) It still has the nasty lid on the carafe. 4) I don't know it the basket eject button will gum up yet. That will take a year or so of use. 5) We still keep it in a tray on the counter, just in case it misbehaves. I keep buying them, I love the coffee they make. I love coming downstairs in the morning to freshly ground and brewed coffee. If only someone would make an Automatic "Grind and Brew" Italian (or French) Press, I would buy it in a second.
Review: Great coffee maker - We just purchased this as a replacement for an older unit of the exact same model. We really liked our original model, but I spent some time reading the reviews before buying it out of curiosity. We enjoy coffee but I wouldn't say we are coffee snobs. I see a lot of complaints so I'll comment on some of them in my review as well. Our old unit is 6 years old and started leaking water out the bottom signalling it was ready to be retired. We used it daily for those 6 years and brewed 10-12 cups a day using the timer and grinder. We replaced the hopper about 6 months ago because the locking mechanism broke and the carafe about 3 months ago because the gasket on the lid finally wore out. At first I was bummed we didn't buy a whole unit sooner, but I can confirm the hopper and the carafe work with the new unit so we now have spares. I also kept the filter basket since, hey why not. We love the timer and set it to grind and brew automatically at about the same time as our alarm so the coffee brewing is usually done by the time we get to the kitchen. I see complaints about the grind being coarse and there being no way to adjust it. I'm no expert, but I compared the new unit to our Capresso 560 grinder (I use this for french press grinding) and it seemed to match the coarser end of the medium settings. I never did this with the old unit so maybe they adjusted it. I saw complaints about the chute between the grinder and the filter basket getting clogged and can confirm this happens if you don't clean it out once in a while. The manual says to do it every few grinds. You can tell by the sound of the grinder when this is happening. It sounds like it is working really hard. I find I was doing it about every 2 weeks to avoid a clog. Maybe it is me but I think the coffee tastes better if you do it more frequently. I noticed the chute on the new unit is quite a bit wider than the old unit. We've only had it a few weeks but this seems to help with the clogging issue. I recommend cleaning the chute regularly for the best results. A little brush is provided and it is certainly much easier to clean the new wider chute. Another thing I saw people complain about was that the coffee was too weak or too strong. There is a strength setting with 3 levels. Use it. The grinder works in 2 cup increments. We use the strength setting to make say 7 cups by setting it to grind 6 strong or 8 weak and putting 7 cups of water in the reservoir. There isn't any reason you can't mix and match grind amounts and the amount of water it brews. It seems to brew until the water is all gone regardless of grind settings. Experiment until you get what you need. Everyone's taste is different. Be careful though the setting is a toggle button so you can hit it and change the strength settings by wiping the machine off to clean it. The grinder is pretty loud but not as loud as the old unit. I think it is slightly louder than our Capresso 560 but frankly they both make a lot of noise. You can also use the grind off button to brew pre-ground coffee. The carafe will keep coffee hot for at least 4 hours probably even longer with no issue, it doesn't usually last long enough with us to get cold. So yeah, you need to clean the coffee maker once in a while to keep it running smoothly, but most things require some maintenance. Yeah, it is a little inconvenient, but hey... first world problems and all. Overall I highly recommend this machine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best all in 1 Coffee Brew/ Burr Grinder unit
*by J***. on March 5, 2019*

Ok here we go with a completely honest review with long term input. I have had this exact unit for over 11 years with almost no issues what so ever. I did have to replace a item due to me getting lazy and.putting stuff in dishwasher which ya don't do. But until last week when it gave up the ghost again due to me letting it crash over in trunk if car ,oops. Anyways there was no hesitation in buying this unit again. #1 I drink a ton of coffee each day for joy and medical reasons,20-40 cups. #2 this unit is only one that has a Burr grinder,best type grinder for coffee beans. #3 Cuisinart makes good stuff and I'm not sure how long this has been in market but that it still is says a lot. Now to address some negative postings I've seen on Amazon. First no matter what you buy mass produced you can have issues occasionally not to mention the lovely handling during shipping that occurs,nuff said. Secondly there are goof balls that post reviews that are completely unfounded and untrue. I'll use the goof ball who stated his heating tray that his pot sets in has electrical shorts in heating element and arcs. Uh Sorry goof ball that isn't a heating pad and has no electric in it it's a tray for dbl insulated pot to rest in ONLY. Now another saying it takes them 30 minutes to clean. Well if it dies your a waste of space as from washing items by hand takes me ohh few minutes tops to removing bean tray when beans need replacing,best time to do takes me oh another 2 minutes. Drama queens I guess. So Here we go actual review time😁. As stated I drink a ton of coffee and this unit alwaymakes a great coffee. The Burr grinder is definitely the main reason and of course coffee bean choice is totally individual taste. You have 3 strengths of grind levels,low ,medium.and strong flavors. Yes it has programmable option if want to use. Typical time for say 6 cups is few minutes maybe 3-5 depending. This unit also which is super nice feature a water filter that if you keep replaced seriously helps keep flavors from getting funky from treated water supplies. Bean tray holds about half a pound of beans and easily filled at top of machine.Pls make sure when filling water reservoir not to get water in this tray area. I use faucet sprayer and insert into water tray to avoid it,using coffee pot is much tougher lol. Ok cleaning lol that some find so very hard LMAO. Uhh wash by hand all items,pot,spinner thingy that pulls apart,coffee basket,and basket holder. Literally just quick wash/rinse is all needed. Ok Bean tray at top of machine ! There is a channel under this tray that needs to be brushed clean,I do this Everytime beans need be filled 😉. This new unit they made a few changes to make it much easier,ty Cuisinart. Ok take top cover off and then twist large black dial knob to left or counter clockwise until tray pops loose.set unit aside and look below that and you'll see a lever that moves to left with spring effect and a tab believe both gray color now. Take that tab and push towards back of machine slowly ntil it pops loose and swings open. You have now entered the mysterious channel lol. Take supplied brush and sweep coffee grounds from back in tunnel while at same time holding that lever to left and sweep ground into a napkin that should be sitting where coffy pot goes had I told you before now LMAO. That's it I mean first time it gonna take a few minutes but after literally 1-2 minutes max and this is only once every time beans need be refilled and this is just MY ROUTINE. So in all of you don't buy into all this K cup stuff that actually cost a bunch more than this way and doesn't come close to same flavors this unit is top notch in my humble opinion. I have had coffee beans from Kona flown in to all kinds of different types from around the Globe you can get. Love some hated some but funny I have settled on 8 o'clock regular flavor coffee beans which you can buy 2#'s for around $12 and last you a month or so depending on useage,me 2 weeks. When tried K cups it was about $.75- 1.00 cup figure that with my 20-40 a day brews. Well I'm done ranting n ravjng but hope you give this unit a try if serious about coffee and I'll say if you contact customer service they are super at Cuisinart. Luv Y'all Enjoy
