I’m enjoying having the grinder and coffee maker in one. I enjoy a full bodied dark roast brew. In order to achieve the taste I prefer, I must set the number of cups to one step above the water quantity. Otherwise I’m very pleased so far with this coffee maker.

I got mine about a year ago and ran into trouble with it but thanks to the warranty it was replaced by cuisinart. I must say the new model is much improved and still makes a great cup of coffee. Going back to an old drip non bur coffee maker made us realize how much we love this one! Great value, price and warranty you can't go wrong.

This was a warranty replacement for the previous generation model, the DGB-1400BCPC, that was defective. This model has design improvements with the way the ground coffee is delivered from the grinder to the basket that is much better than the DGB-1400BCPC design. The downside is that the maximum number of cups of you can choose to grind is 12, which is the size of the pot. This does not give you enough flexibility if you're trying to make 12 cups of coffee stronger than the grind control allows. Selecting the strongest grind does not brew our coffee as strong as the previous model, so we have to choose to grind 12 cups of coffee at the strongest grind selection, but only brew about 10 1/4 cups. Still, at this combination of choices, the coffee isn't as good as the DGB-1400BCPC. We have tried other combinations of choices and amount of cups to brew, but this is the closest.

This coffee maker makes the best coffee. The burr grinder is superior to the blade style grinders. This is my second time ordering this model. The first has been working for about 5 years and still does, I just needed a new coffee maker for my second home. There are a couple of flaws with the product. If you forget a filter or try to use a paper and the wire filter, the grounds will get into the pour stop valve and make the coffee overflow and make a mess. There is also rarely a time when the maker doesn’t make a little bit of a mess with grounds getting out. Also, after a while (every year or so), you may notice fewer grounds and weaker coffee. The grinder tends to deposit some grounds into the bean feeder area above the grinder that slows the flow of the beans. There is a guard above this that makes it difficult to access. You can, however, reach the blockage with a skewer with a kink in it. You can also see the area using your phone camera once you find just the right position. Regardless of these issues, I would order one of these again. Based on messiness, I would deduct a star or two, however, the flavor is just so good, that it deserves the full five stars.

I love the ease and taste of the coffee. My criticism is that the carafe leaks from the black collar onto the counter. Also I noticed the clock had changed auto brew by an hour...turns out the clock gains two minutes over each 24 hour period. I'm hoping this is just a fluke and not a pervasive issue. I will contact customer service tomorrow so let's see how Cuisinart stands behind their products, I've always held them in a positive light. 🤞

Purchased as a replacement for similar Cuisinart coffee maker with stainless carafe. Replaced due to a problem with the lid/pour spout. Leaked badly and got tired of fooling with it. This coffee maker is identical except for this one has the glass carafe and is 12 cups rather than 10. The good is it grinds and brews nicely. The bad is this lid will not snap in place, thus you have to hold it with your thumb so it does not fall off while pouring. Unlikely to purchase another Cuisinart. Quality Control is not to acceptable standards and I do not want to go through more aggravation like I did with the last problem. Have not had long enough to attest to longevity.

After using for about 5 days starting making weak coffee. The strength setting was the same, same beans , same amount of water. Now just making 10 cups of water with 12 cups setting on machine. We had the discontinued dgb900 with insulated carafe for years that made perfect coffee. Hate they changed it …

I’m incredibly happy with this coffee maker! My Bonsen Kitchen burr grinder coffee maker had been leaking for a while & after years of use, I researched this Cuisinart model & decided to give it a shot. I’m particularly impressed with the build quality & faultless functionality. A lot of thought has gone into the design, from the ease of use with the filter basket compartment to the grind-off feature. You can stop the grind with a press of a button if you feel it’s enough for your batch & the brew cycle just picks up form there. There’s a couple fool proof alert features if you forget to replace the filter or fill the reservoir before brewing. The seal seems tight in the bean container & the carafe hasn’t spilled during a pour once. Minimal drips on the heating plate when pouring that first cup before the brew cycle finishes & you don’t have to worry about the heating plate turning off before you’ve finished with the pot. Just enough settings to configure & intuitive to figure out how. Overall very pleased & hope to use this for years to come!

Works very well. So nice to have the grinder and brewer in one machine.

I LOVE my new coffeemaker! It makes my mornings so much more enjoyable! That fresh ground & brewed coffee waiting for me, as I sit down to enjoy it, just lets me know it's gonna be a good day! Sometimes we need a break before we even start the day and my Cuisinart Burr Grind & Brew afords me that! I'm an evening coffee drinker too so you know I don't need to frequent those pricey shops around the corner. I've got the best coffee in town right in MY own kitchen! :-D
