Editorial Review:
Cuisinart DGB-300BK 10 cup coffee maker, black. Freshly ground coffee: The coffeemaker lets you grind your favorite coffee beans and then automatically puts the grounds into the filter to brew. Fully programmable with an easy to read LCD display for auto-on function and variable heater plate setting. Great Taste: The coffee bar flavor system is the same special brewing system found in commercial coffeemakers. Simply set the number of cups being brewed, for coffee bar flavor at home. Long lasting taste: The Taste KeeperTM lid is designed to minimize oxygen flow into the carafe so coffee stays fresher, longer. Express Coffee: The brew pause feature allows you to pour a cup of coffee before brewing has finished. Consistent Flavor: The 1-4 cup setting allows you to make only a cup or two without altering the flavor of the brew. Variable automatic shutoff, self clean setting with time to clean monitor, grind off function, 1-4 cup setting, large LCD clock, cord storage, gold tone filter and 3-year limited warranty.
For coffee that's as fresh as the neighborhood coffee shop, but served at home, try Cuisinart's Automatic Grind and Brew coffeemaker. It makes it easy to enjoy fresh coffee with the utmost convenience--ground whole-bean coffee pours directly into the filter basket at a pre-set time for instant brewing. The maker does all the thinking, with a range of programmable features: set the machine to grind and brew at exactly the right time, predetermine the coffee's temperature, and program the machine to turn off a half-hour later.
Other features take the guess work out of coffeemaking as well: the flavor setting ensures the optimal amount of water is used for a rich, aromatic taste and no acidity or bitterness, and the large easy-view water window makes sure the right amount of water is added. The gold-tone permanent filter also enhances coffee flavor for a hardy, rich taste. A self-clean feature lets you know when calcium buildup is interfering with the machine's operation; turn on the self-clean cycle to make quick work of grime. Daily cleaning of the machine is somewhat involved since all individual parts must be removed, so prepare for slightly longer clean up in exchange for time-saving upfront.
Two additional caveats: The grinder is noisy, as most grinders are, and cannot be turned off midgrind. And the coffee bar is taller than average coffee machines, so make sure you have a spot for it with plenty of below cupboard space. --Emily Wolf

Loud and doesn't last long:
We've had ours for a couple of years. It brews good coffee, but the grinder is very loud. It didn't come with a permanent filter, we had to buy our own. And it has broken twice on us: the latch on the cover broke within a couple of months the first time, and now after another 2 years is broken again. (Without the latch to click it in place, it refuses to brew, so it is an important part.) The carafe cover also broke off on us (little tabs broke), and the part that allows placing the brewing on hold also... more info
This is our third unit--worth the money:
I just ordered our third DGB for a mere $69. After reading product reviews of the new Burr Grind and Brew, I opted to stick with our tried-and-true white DGB. I bought our first 2 DGBs together. They were reconditioned by Cuisinart, and cost me only $25 and $35, shipping included, through the Amazon Outlet store. I ruined the first unit by trying to remove coffee/bean staining on the water reservoir by using diluted Pine-Sol. I should have known better (note: pine oil stays in plastic. Taste and... more info
Great coffee maker....:
Well, I don't understand why all the hate for this little machine. It's a darn good coffee maker. We've been using this machine for 2 years now, with excellent results every time. OK, sure, the labels can rub off if you use Windex, but, this will happen with ANY kitchen product these days. Anyway, it grinds very well, works just fine, and makes a great cup O' Joe! Chris
great coffeemaker:
Wonderful product difficult to find as it is discontinued. Like it better than current models. Received my coffeemaker quickly and it works great! If you are looking for a basic grind and brew coffeemaker with a trusted brand name....this is for you!
