Product Description
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.

Amazon.com Review
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

5 out of 5 stars Great coffee maker....   October 7, 2008
C. Pinto (Peekskill, NY United States)
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!

5 out of 5 stars great coffeemaker   September 20, 2008
G. Frill (PA)
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!


4 out of 5 stars Cuisinart Grind and Brew   September 1, 2008
K. Hazuda (Centreville, MD)
I ordered this to replace a white Melitta grind and brew, which we loved but had just worn out. The Melitta's are no longer available in white. I am pleased with the Cuisinart. The price was certainly right. It makes a great cup of coffee. The unit is larger, I would've preferred a more slim-lined size. Overall, I am very satisfied.


4 out of 5 stars Good Coffee - Lasted 5 years for me   August 25, 2008
Craig A. Rothe (Philadelphia, PA)
I had two of this model. Each worked for about 5 years. The last one had its motor just shut down on me. Still - I think that is good compared to what other reviewers reported. I mean - how long should these last? 20 years? I don't know. Anyway, 4 stars for holding up to everyday use while producing great, consistent coffee.

I used mine EVERY day... never had the labels wear off the machine, never broke a part. I guess I was more careful with mine than other people? I cleaned it and even used the dishwasher on some parts. For me, the problems I had were with the internal motor/grinder. Each model I owned retired after 5 years.

Otherwise, this gave the BEST coffee I have ever made at home. Fresh ground coffee - and those who know it can tell a good coffee. After about ten combined years of owning this one model, I am looking around to see if there are more advanced models out there.... but for the third time, I may choose this model again as the others don't seem to look or work much better. For me, calling Customer Service about my coffee maker is not an option. I will be too far gone by that point... and so will that coffee maker.



1 out of 5 stars Weak coffee, hard to clean, not durable   June 17, 2008
Mitch Deerfield (Florida)
The design is such that you do not get maximum taste from the coffee beans. Stay away from this model. A chore to clean, plus mine broke about a year after I bought it.

In a way, I am glad. I got a Melitta coffeemaker to replace it and the coffee tastes much better!
