Pros: Coffee is freshly ground, stay hot and fresh for hours. Clean up is easy. Cons: Expensive for a home brewing machine. But the name says it all. It's worth it.
Cuisinart Grind & Brew Thermal 10 Cup Automatic Coffeemaker DGB-600BC Most everyone is aware of the fact that in order to have the freshest, most aromatic coffee, one must have those oils present that you can only get from a fresh ...
Pros: Grinds, brews and keeps your coffee warm - all in one machine! Cons: Machine must be cleaned well after every use
It’s a nifty kind of coffee maker that does make an excellent cup of coffee, it’s just that there are a few flaws in the final design. I don’t think they’ll make or break anyone’s choice, but they are something to consider if ...
My marina neighbors gave me the Cuisinart Automatic Grind and Brew coffee maker two weeks ago as a gift for the computer consulting I have given them over the past year. They said the coffee maker was simply too big for the kitchen in their Morgan ...
Pros: Quick, easy to use, a few neat extras Cons: A little expensive
My wife and I have had the Cuisinart Grind and Brew Thermal 10-Cup Coffeemaker since the end of the summer. Yet, we have only used it a couple of times as neither of us are big coffee drinkers. However, we got a heck of a lot of use out of it over the ...
Pros: Keeps the coffee reasonably hot Cons: Everything else -who dealt this mess anyway?
As I wrote this review almost three years ago, and it's been read (as of today, July 27th, 2006) by over 8,000 people, I thought I'd give it a little "fine tuning." I've been a coffee lover for the better part of my 61 years on this planet. ...
Pros: Use fresh, whole beans with ease. Coffee hot without over-cooking. Cleaning a snap. Cons: Hard to see water levels. Can't get hand into carafe.
This is my third Grind & Brew machine. I did not believe that the thermal carafe without a burner would keep coffee hot, but my Dad went ahead and bought one. He performed several days worth of experiments, and he reported good luck, so I went ...
Pros: Great Coffee, Water filtering , Keeps coffee hot and fresh for a long long time Cons: Non
I, like others before me, shuddered when reading some of the really negative reviews regarding this product. This machine makes great coffee. I have never experienced any of the disasters that other people have complained about. To the contrary I ...
Pros: It makes coffee and it's pretty. Cons: The cons in 15 words or less? A writing task that defies human abilities.
For Those in A Hurry: just-the-facts before the longer review. A special service for those who either just want the facts, can't stand long reviews, are ADHD, have had too much coffee, or all of the above. My Advice: avoid this ...
Pros: Timed operation, integrated grinder, reliable, thermal carafe Cons: I hate cleaning it!
Right next to my office is an electronics store with a cafe inside. The daily ritual is to go there almost every day with a co-worker and buy a cup of coffee. Sometimes it's just the lousy house coffee, or a mediocre mocha. At $1 for a coffee, or $3 ...
Pros: Grinds & brews all in one; makes good coffee Cons: May require too much work for some
When I first met my future husband, I was a novice coffee drinker. I bought whatever ground coffee was on sale at the store that week and brewed one cup at a time using a teapot to heat water and a plastic contraption that allowed me to make crude, ...
Pros: Top notch build quality, consistent performance, styling, appearance, thermal carafe Cons: Water level indicator hard to see, inferior blade grinder, water accumulation in grind area
I have been kicking myself for years to break down and write a review for this well appreciated coffee maker. Is it the best coffee maker in the world? Is it the most reliable? Well I seem to think so because this maker has been through several phases ...
Pros: Does what it's advertised to do. . . for the first few weeks. Cons: Did not last as long as a product of this price should.
My wife and I have owned a Grind & Brew Thermal for over two years. While, initially, there were several things we liked about it, such as: looks great, brews decent coffee, can be set ahead of time; after a few months (weeks?) we were disappointed. ...
Pros: None. Cons: Clunky, overly complex, messy, hard to clean, floods, weak coffee, pricey, poor customer service.
We got the DGB-600BC model with the thermal carafe. There is nothing about this coffee maker that is good. On the surface, one might be intrigued by its fully automatic concept and looks: Put "this" in here, and coffee comes out there. Making a good ...
Pros: Stylish, User-friendly, Reliable, Programmable, Easy to clean, Makes great coffee that stays hot Cons: Expensive(but worth it), Grind coarseness not adjustable, Somewhat hard to poor
Despite the hefty price, I decided to buy the Cuisinart Grind and Brew Thermal Coffeemaker because it offered all of the features I wanted in one very attractive package: Programmable- I like to sleep as long as possible. This machine has shaved ...
Pros: Freshly ground/brewed coffee. no heater to scorch your coffee or forgetting to turn off. Cons: A little expensive, charcoal filters need replacing but this coffee maker is really worth it.
This Cuisinart DGB-600BC Grind and Brew Coffee Maker is really a great buy. The Brushed Chrome look is fantastic. After being an owner of the original grind and brew by Cuisinart, this DGB-600BC has many upgrades from the first. With the idea of ...
Pros: Makes good coffee, looks pretty on the counter Cons: MUCH MUCH MUCH patience is needed, not to mention lots of paper towels
My goodness was I excited when I saw this beautifully shiny coffee maker in the local department store. Being a barrista (coffee shop slave) I am particularly interested in the quality of my coffee. I was in the market for something with a built in ...
Pros: Not too many Pros. It does look nice. Cons: Weak Coffee. Leaky carafe. Coffee too cold. No grind settings. Wet grind basket after brewing.
I bought this coffee maker so I can stop grinding my whole beans manually every few days or so. Manual grinding is messy, and I thought it would be great to have fresh ground beans each day. Well, the Cuisinart is nice (looking), it has many of the ...
Pros: fast brew time. auto shut off. quiet grinder. Cons: thermal carafe spout
This is the first grind & brew coffee maker that I have ever had. Actually this is the first grinder that I have ever had, and I have to say you can definetly taste the difference in fresh ground and brewed coffee. I don't think I will ever be able to...
Pros: This product has a water filter, a thermal carafe, and is very easy to clean. Cons: The sudden, programmed grinding noise should be preceded by warning beeps to prevent shock.
The Cuisinart Grind and Brew Coffeemaker DGB-600BC is not only attractive on the counter, it is even ...
Pros: Great concept, looks great Cons: Poor design, makes a huge mess when it (frequently) malfunctions drips every time you pour
We bought this coffee maker almost 6 months and have tried to convince ourselves we like it but could not. Why did we try so hard to like it? Because the concept is great and it is a very attractive coffee maker. We recently moved into a new house ...
Pros: Stylish, won't scorch coffee, stainless carafe keeps coffee hotter for longer, produces very little steam. Cons: No removable reservoir, more parts to clean than typical coffeemaker
My housemate is leaving in a week and taking his $35 Mr. Coffee with him, so I knew I had to buy a coffeemaker soon. I decided to splurge and get the dream machine--one that would grind beans and brew into a thermal carafe. When I started looking for ...
Pros: As good as it gets. Cons: Is $150 really too pricey for this dashing looking machine?
Owning a perfectly good coffee maker and grinder made it difficult to justify buying this product, particularly after reading some of the negative reviews. I finally decided to indulge myself since I like gee-gaws and this looks neat. One of the ...
When my Braun died, it was time to upgrade. I paid $150.00 for this machine, which seemed like a lot, but I am an optimist. On the up side, this machine will keep your coffee hot for a long time without concentrating it or having it end up with that ...
Pros: Sleek design. No hotplate. Thermal carafe keeps coffee warm for an hour. Cons: Major design flaws. Made of thin plastic. Scorched coffee taste when using normally roasted beans.
I love the design of this coffeemaker, but it has some serious design flaws that I hope are addressed in the next generation of Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffeemakers. I purchased this particular product because of the sleek design and the grind and brew ...
Pros: Great coffee from a good looking appliance. Cons: The price to some
The Cuisinart DGB-600BC is an excellent product for those who want fresh ground beans as the start of a good cup of coffee. Using this product is no more work than grinding your own beans with a separate grinder and drip coffee maker. In fact it is ...
Pros: Sleek design Cons: no coarseness control, pot leaks, entire maker leaks
This automatic grind and brew thermal pot has a
sleek design and a timer so you can set the maker to brew automatically and be ready when you wake up in the morning. The grinder is a blade grinder that doesn't allow for any adjustment of the...
Pros: Brews very good coffee. Carafe keeps it hot! Toss out the grinder. Cons: lotsa pieces to clean, bean hopper could be bigger.
Last month the unit began emitting smoke from the rear when my wife turned it on. I contacted Cuisinart via Email and they asked me to return the unit, then sent us a brand new one. That is outstanding support for a unit that was almost two years old. ...
Pros: Load it up, and let it go. Makes the mornings easier. Cons: You have to clean everything before use.
Well, the old coffee maker with carafe blew up. So my wife and I started looking for a new machine. We knew that we wanted another carafe, since it keeps the coffee hot for a very long time. The problem is that there are very few carafe coffee makers ...
I sometimes wonder at the people on here; whether they're a little lazy, over-expectant, or just not used to the concept behind an "all in one" design, which is more of a jack of all trades idea than a "specialist" one. I've had the older version of ...
Pros: It works. Stylish. Good coffee. Reliable. Cons: Takes time and care to set up because of all the cleaning requirements.
I'll start with the drawbacks: 1. You will need to do a lot of cleaning before making coffee, each and every time. 2. You will need to do a lot of cleaning before making coffee, each and every time. 3. You will need to do a lot of cleaning ...
Pros: Grinds a very tasty cup of coffee. Cons: Makes an unforgivable, unmanageable mess every time.
My boss bought this coffee maker for his office. He's big on presentation, about things that look snazzy, like say, a chrome coffee maker that grinds and brews great coffee for his morning meetings. The first time he showed me how to use it, he gave me a...
Pros: Perfect coffee, EASY to clean, so so nice looking! Cons: a bit loud when grinding, slow to pour due to tight seal on carafe.
I received this coffeemaker as a Christmas gift, was very excited as it came out of the box.. it definitely looked high tech, and quite elegant sitting on my counter, complimenting my black and silver tea kettle and espresso maker. I took a trip to ...
Pros: Sleek design, great coffee, easy to use Cons: a pain to clean, tends to overflow and leak, too many parts
This was a gift, and I value it a lot. Though, I probably wouldn't have bought it for myself otherwise. It is a bit more then I need. First, the coffee maker is a really nice looking device. With the stainless steel casing and the sleek design. It ...
Pros: Great coffee, freshest possible pot from whole beans ground right at brewtime. Cons: Cleaning, while not difficult, is a hassle if you're making multiple pots back to back.
My wife and I have been through many coffeemakers in the past 10 years. Mostly, because we like to drink coffee and like to try different machines for varying results. My wife and I have this longstanding battle that goes back to our earliest days of ...
I purchased the Cuisinart Grind & Brew to replace a 4 year old Braun. The primary reason I bought the Cuisinart was for its looks (the stainless look matched the rest of my appliances), but also for its advertised functionality. I have used it now for...
Pros: Fresh, yummy coffee. I like the way it looks and tastes. Cons: Cost. Cleaning required.
As a daily coffee lover, I needed a new one and this showed up in the house. At first it seemed so complicated to take all the pieces out. I finally get that figured out, and cleaning it proved just as difficult. I am used to dumping the filter and ...
Pros: Your coffee is ground and brewed when you wake up. Cons: Your coffee tastes horrible, and you've got a mess on your hands.
While it might seem like a great idea to have a coffee maker that also grinds coffee, this particular configuration has a number of major flaws: 1) Too many parts. I don't know about you, but I can't stand to wash the 7 separate parts each time I use ...
Pros: Style, Function, Keeps coffee hot for hours. Cons: Can be hard to pour without a mess, hard to see water level
Coffee is ground, made, and hot when you wake up and stays hot for many hours. But drawbacks do exist... FUNCTION: I fill the carafe with water at from the sink, or use bottled water. Either way, there is no way on the pot to tell how much water you ...
Pros: Coffee maker with a grinder and a thermal carafe Cons: Carafe design, basket style filter, no grind control, water reservoir, cleaning
I'm so sad to to take it back, but it's going back. I didn't know you could screw up making a coffee maker, so alas, I didn't look at reviews before I purchased. I saw a good price plus a coupon, and bought.
Before I even made a pot of...
Pros: Great cup of coffee, easy to use Cons: Having to give all of the components an extreme washing after each use
I first discovered this product while visiting a friend for four days and immediately bought one. I was recommended to several brands of beans so I had no trouble making the best coffee I ever tasted. Its greatest flaw, as stated by many reviewers ...
Pros: Handsome unit. Cons: Nightmare to clean. Coffee doesn't stay hot enough to drink.
We received this product as a gift three months ago and we are trying hard to like it (since we know what it cost the person that gave it to us). There are only two things we can say on behalf of this product; it's stylish and it saves energy (without ...
Pros: Excellent coffee, looks great on counter, cleanup no biggie for me at least. Cons: Coffee carafe didn't hold coffee very hot, but a little experimenting solved problem (see review)
I visited my local Williams-Sonoma store recently and saw this machine on display. The staff was patient with me as I proceeded to open it up, inspect the parts (checking for quality and ease of use and cleaning), and reading the user manual. I've had ...
