A lot of customers agreed that this coffee machine brews consistently good coffee. The taste and flavor are better than what you get from other coffeemakers.

Some customers have complained about the filter cup that is quite hard to seat. This results to overflowing water and grounds all over the counter. The warmer is also too hot giving a burnt taste to the left coffee in the pot. The side water gauge is difficult to read.

You need to pay attention to the settings on the top and front indicating the amount of water processing. Watch it when you fill the water container prior to brewing, it takes more water to produce the four cups marked on the carafe. After brewing there will be lesser water.

Cuisinart DGB-700BC Grind-and-Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffee Maker Review

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 16:38:20 +0000

Cuisinart DGB-700BC Grind & Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker w/ Decalcifier is a fully programmable coffeemaker with a burr grinder for superior coffee. The special burr grinder grinds the coffee without influencing the integrity of the bean, so the true flavor is maintained. The sealable bean hopper holds up to a half-pound of beans, and the strength selector and the grind control functions fine-tune intensity and volume.

Cuisinart DGB-700 Specifications:

Color: Brushed chrome and black
Capacity: 12 cups
Height: 16.25 inches
Length: 8.44 inches
Depth: 10.66 inches
Weight: 11.9 lbs.
Warranty: 3-year limited

You can easily brew 12 cups of coffee with the fully programmable feature of Cuisinart Grind and Brew Coffeemaker. The unit has a built-in burr grinder which automatically grinds beans right before brewing, and its grind-control function makes it easy to program the amount of coffee to grind from 2 to 12 cups. Its strength selector feature allows you to choose from strong, medium, or mild coffee.

Additional features are adjustable automatic shutoff (from zero to four hours), a grind-off option, and an integrated 2- to 4-cup feature, as well as a Gold tone commercial-style permanent filter and charcoal water filter to remove impurities, and a brew-pause function for sneaking a cup midbrew. The warming plate works well and defaults to a 2-hour delay before shutoff. Keeps the coffee good and hot.

Some customers had issues with the coarse grinding. Since the grind is coarse, you need to double the amount of the coffee beans. Increase in bean consumption means spending more money.

Another issue would be the design of the carafe. The spout is too small and you can barely get a stream of coffee coming out. It takes quite a while to fill up a cup of coffee. To make things worse, you have to take the lid off the carafe to get the last remaining cup of coffee.

The filter hopper pops open occasionally during the brewing cycle and hot water bursts all over the counter.

Cons:

Carafe drips when pouring
Grind is coarse
Uses twice as much coffee beans

Overall, the Cuisinart Grind and Brew Coffeemaker that’s easy to use, easy to clean, makes great coffee for a reasonable price.
