It did not work! Returned it. It would grind beans, stop and regrind again. Water would not go down. Awful experience. I reordered another DBG 900 which I had before and am happy now. Only good thing was that the coffee maker was much easier to clean than the DBG 900.

Love the grinder but unhappy with filter basket. Neither paper filter nor gold basket filters grounds out of coffee!! Using both causes overflow. Using both but max of 10 cups of water on medium grind fills basket. Why did I spend extra on 12 cup model???

Smooth, velvety coffee. Love it. After much thought and years of use, II gave up my previous Cuisinart coffee machine (gave it to my son) and decided to try fresh ground beans. Love it! Easy to operate and makes a discernably better cup of coffee. My only question is that we cannot seem to make "odd" number of cups as the dial moves from 2-4-6-8-10-12 cups. I can work around it but just wondering how to make 7 cups, for example.

Only had this coffeemaker for a couple weeks. This morning it brewed about half a pot, the rest overflowed all over the counter & floor. This is at least our 3rd grind & brew. Last one broke, but was hoping cuisinart updated the coffee maker. Limited options for grind & brew.

Was previously a long time user of Capresso CoffeeTeam products but became disappointed the past few years as the machines had frequent operating issues and ,subsequently had to return (on more than one occasion). We decided to try out the Cuisinart line and have been very pleased with it. My visiting sister was impressed and she bought one for herself !

I bought this when my old grind and brew unit wouldn't boil the water anymore, and I'm really glad i did. I should also say the I bought what i thought was the replacement Grind and brew at BB&B, only to find out that it was a propeller grinder with removable inward parts that had to be washed after every use, and I could only put enough beans in for one pot. what a pain! Fortunately BB&B took it back when i returned it after finding this unit. With this unit, i only have to dump the grounds after making a pot, and wash out the filter holder after each use. This pot has an actual burr grinder, which is superior, and a hopper that I can put almost a weeks' worth of beans in. This unit is what I was looking for when I went to BB&B, but they didn't have it. Everything from the old unit has been upgraded, and the only improvement I can suggest is the stainless steel carafe that I had from my original Cuisinart coffee maker.

I had to replace my older model of this coffee maker because I wore it out after 10+ years of amazing brewing. This model appeared to be 'new and improved' and after using it for a while, I agree! Easy operation, quieter grinding and the perfect temperature brew when it's done. I couldn't be happier! If you are looking for an all-in-one machine that does a great job, look no further. Enjoy!

I hate the design of your caraffe spout because it does not pour without dripping. I also do not like that the top of the caraffe does not securely fit on the top, it just kind of sits there. I would think that for as long as you have been designing coffeemakers, you would be able to provide a better designed coffee pot.

Sadly, after about 10 years, our burr and grind coffee maker started having problems. We were quite bummed that our model was no longer being made, and the price had appreciated significantly. Well, we bit the bullet and ended up upgrading with the new model. The grinding is slightly less loud, but the entire grinding/brewing array is much easier to use and clean. The quality of the coffee continues to be excellent. Our one ‘regret’ is that the new model doesn’t come with a 12-cup stainless carafe. We truly enjoyed that feature, even if pouring from it was a pain.

We have been using this coffee maker for about 1 month now, and it has been great so far. Previously we used a spice grinder to grind beans every 1-2 weeks and stored them. Having fresh ground beans daily is a huge difference over pre-ground and the coffee is not bitter. It is easy to just pour beans in the top and let it do the work for you whether you use manual or auto brew. One thing about the unit is the height. It fits under the cabinet with about 1-2 inches of clearance. I have not yet noticed if it creates steam like some of our previous coffee makers, but we have not kept it under the cabinet for now. The grinder isn't too loud, although if I happen to fall asleep in the living room (which is right next to the kitchen) the automatic bean grinder does wake me up - it doesn't wake me up if I am in the bedroom that shares a wall with the kitchen. My husband cleaned the grinder today, it was easy and it took only a few minutes. So far it has been very easy to use and easy to clean. Things we do to keep clean: open it to let it air dry for the day, use filtered water (brita mostly), and change the filters every 2 months. For the price I got it for with a 40% off coupon I am very satisfied. Something for improvement, perhaps having more of selection of grind types, but if you're going from spice grinder to Burr grinder it will be so much better. If the thermal stainless carafe were available at this price for the 12 cup, I would have bought it instead. The only reason I would want the stainless carafe is because I have previously broken the glass types and not because of temperature, the coffee does stay hot in the glass carafe. Overall, we are very happy with the purchase! It has made life easier and coffee taste better!
