Cuisinart DGB-300 10-Cup Coffee Maker

Pros: Freshest coffee possible, many programmable features, attractive, large capacity.
Cons: Slow brewing time, a virtual nightmare to clean.

Just be sure to employ some other hapless victim to clean the darn thing after you have reaped the benefits! But more on that later……

Among lots of other useful thingies AnniWitch got for Xmas this year was this ultra-cool CUISINART Coffee...

Pros: Great coffee. Saves space. Timer function so you can wake to a fresh ground pot.
Cons: Noisy. Difficult and time consuming to clean.

I purchased the Grind & Brew mainly because I wanted to save kitchen counter space over a separate coffee pot and grinder.

For normal operation, using the Grind & Brew is simple enough. You start by measuring the amount of coffee you want...

Pros: Great coffee - no bitterness, timer, warming plate heat control, good value.
Cons: More parts to clean that a standard brewer, large footprint and awkward shape

I am a real coffee lover and have been searching for years for a coffeemaker that can deliver a (near) Starbucks level brew at home. However, I am also somewhat frugal ;-) and never wanted to re-mortgage the house to buy a high end brewer. When my last ...

Pros: Does most everything for you, and makes good coffee
Cons: You might have to watch that lockdown clip, because it could be broken and won't run without locking it down on top. And it doesn't wash my coffee cup for me :-(

I was recently looking to get a coffee machine that they were rating in here top of the line at $199. However, I found this machine at Sams Club for $79.95. At there website it goes for $179.95. Am I glad I found this little deal, it makes coffee...

Pros: Makes great tasting coffee and is easy to use.
Cons: Not easy to make multiple pots of coffee.

WARNING! You will want a daily cup of coffee after using the Cuisinart DGB-300. We were not drinking coffee everyday or even weekly before we got the Cuisinart. I preferred fresh ground coffee and did not like having to grind the beans before...

Pros: Fresh ground coffee, large capacity and good quality construction.
Cons: Poor design, large footprint, hard to clean, noisy, inefficient, weak coffee.

I love my sister dearly for she is very thoughtful and giving. Therefore I continue to try and improve this particular gift which I treasure. But if I had bought this coffee maker myself I would have taken it back.

This is a beast of a...

Pros: Only product on the market to grind and brew in one step
Cons: It is prone to breakage due to moving parts

I have used my Cuisinart Coffee Bar for about three years. Over the past three years this product has performed well but I have experienced a number of malfunctions putting it out of business for weeks at a time. In the end, I still love my Coffee Bar....

Pros: Elegant and sleek looking
Cons: Anemic coffee, too many parts to clean, too many features

Having only recently been a coffee-lover (about 8 years), I really enjoy a fresh brewed cup from only the freshest beans. I try to stay away from too many bells and whistles in any product that I buy - more things that can and will break.

This...

Pros: Lots of features, great coffee, great warranty, great price from Kohl's
Cons: Why so aerodynamic? Does it plan to fly? Also, odd-shaped carafe

UPDATED AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF -- SEE BELOW! Are you tired of reading short reviews, obviously penned by someone who had a preconceived notion of what a product would be like, bought the product, took it home, used it, and found it not to be what ...

Pros: This brews the BEST coffee I have ever had
Cons: Takes a good 15 minutes to clean every day

We originally came into contact with this lovely machine through a couple we purchased it for as a wedding gift. After two weeks of receiving it, they sent us a thank you card raving about how great their coffee was, better than anything at any of the...

Pros: Grinds and brews great-tasting coffee in one machine.
Cons: Poorly designed plastic hinges/spring mechanisms

I received the Cuisinart DBG-300BK as a holiday gift in December 2007. Having used the machine for a month, I am overall very satisfied with its performance, but there are a few areas which need improvement. OVERALL: The coffeemaker is only ...

Pros: Makes a great pot of coffee. Has an efficient self-clean feature. Holds the coffee at the temperature you prefer.
Cons: High-Maintenence. It is a tedious process to clean, dry, and reassemble the pot to simply make a second pot of coffee.

Two years ago we remodeled our aging kitchen. When I emptied my old cupboards and cabinets I was dismayed at the sorry lot of small appliances I had accumulated over the years. Most of them had seen better days, MUCH better days. I discarded a few,...

Pros: Simple to use, easy to clean, makes an exquisite cup of coffee, very classy-looking.
Cons: A bit expensive, although you'll find it's worth it.

Over the years, I have become something of a coffee snob. I used to believe that coffee was coffee, and bought store-brand coffee all the time. Then I tried Starbucks coffee, and soon I was buying the bags of gourmet coffee, already ground. Then I...

Pros: Great taste, great smell, perfect cup of coffee
Cons: none

The Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker is a coffee lover's dream come true. As all coffee lovers know, there is nothing like a cup of coffee made from freshly ground beans. Although this coffee maker is packed with features the best part of this...

Pros: Steam-free, good coffee
Cons: Cumbersome clean-up

We had a gift certificate from a catalog company and the only product my wife and I could agree on was this coffee maker. Our old Braun had run its course and become an annoying, noisy dribbler. We've had this deluxe Cuisinart for a few months now. So...
