smartscallion's Full Review: Cuisinart DGB-600 10-Cup Coffee Maker
This was the worst coffee maker I've ever owned.
The first time I used it I shocked the whole house with the noise from the grinder. I've had grinders all my life and sure they can be noisy. But this was like an air-raid siren! I am unable to use the grinder feature in the morning because it wake the whole house! This is unfortunate since morning is when most people would use this machine.
So, I decided to trudge on without using the grind feature (despite the fact that I was annoyed at having payed so much just because it has that feature!) But then I discovered the joy of the cleanup. I don't care if some folks think it's a breeze to clean. These folks must not have anything to do but stay home and clean appliances all day. I swear it demands more daily maintenance than my wife does!
Every morning I have to wash and dry, or lay out to dry, seven big complicated pieces. God forbid I forgot to do it, or was rushed and couldn't. Then I'd realize at bedtime that I needed to deal with it all then if I wanted to use the program feature.
This machine was a nightmare. I returned it and got a Capresso MT500. It doesn't have the grinder. But it does have the thermal carafe and program feature. The coffee is just as good and the carafe pours better.
