Cuisinart Grind-and-Brew DGB-700BC 12 Cup

Pros: Great tasting hot coffee
Easier to clean than Melitta
Easy to Program

Cons: None really

The Bottom Line: I love it!

Review: I am a previous owner of the Melitta Mill and Brew - when I could no longer find replacement parts for that coffee maker I decided to give this product a whirl.  I LOVE IT!  It is easy to clean - much easier than the Melitta.  Not sure why ...

Pros: Makes great tasting fresh coffee!

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: A great choice if you are a coffee fanatic and want a coffeemaker that grinds and brews.

Review: After considerable research for a coffeemaker that would grind and brew the freshest tasting coffee, I decided to purchase the Cuisinart Grind and Brew DGB-700BC. It has a 24-hour programmable timer and will brew 2 to 12 cups of coffee whenever you ...

Pros: Great coffee, low maintenance.

Cons: Quite loud, takes a few minutes longer, may be too expensive for some people.

The Bottom Line: Best all in one I've found, with little clean up hassle.

Review: I had the first model of the Cuisinart Grind and Brew for several years, and while I was happy with the coffee, it came with a price. Taking apart all the parts and cleaning was a pain. Eventually the basket got stuck, so it was time to replace & ...

Pros: Awesome coffee, easy to clean, attractive. Costco $89

Cons: None

Review: I've had two other Cuisinart Grind and Brew machines, neither of which had the stainless steel carafe. The first one was purchased about 7 years ago, the second purchased to replace the first because we wanted to change from white to black. Both the ...

Pros: looks, all-in-one appliance, price

Cons: grinder shoot is hard to keep clean, water reservoir is difficult to reach

The Bottom Line: It's a nice machine but the time you save not having to grind the beans separately is made up for in having to clean it.

Review: I bought the 700 model last weekend after reading reviews of the model with the carafe (900 model I believe). Since I tend to drink coffee over the course of a few hours, I decided I’d rather have a burner to keep the coffee warm rather than have to use ...

Pros: Automatic timer was nice to set for the morning.

Cons: A few leaks did occur when the grind holder came out of place.

The Bottom Line: A good purchase if you like the ability to grind your own beans. If not a grinder, a less expensive model would suffice.

Review: We received this coffee maker as a wedding gift five years ago. We have used it nearly every day since and it has lasted up until last week when I broke the decanter rinsing it out after using it. I will consider buying a new one but since the decanters ...

Pros: -Coffee taste.
-Program function is great.
-Can adjust amount of grinds.
-Appearance.
-Storage for beans.

Cons: -More cleanup than regular makers
-High price
-Grinder burnt out after 3 weeks
-Coffee pot lid poorly designed

The Bottom Line: -Good design
-Great coffee
-Bad implementation for certain parts (grinder and grinder chute).
-Undecided if its really worth the money. At this point its not. Depends on how long the replacement lasts.

Review: We bought the Cuisine Art DGB-700bc after some research as one of 5 "Christmas gifts for us bought together". I read the directions and understood what cleaning had to be done daily.It is cleaned daily (grinder is wiped down ...

Pros: Convenient grinder, good looking.

Cons: coffee isn't hot, difficult to pour carafe, hard to clean grinder,

The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this product: the coffee isn't hot enough, the grinder chute often clogs, and the water receptacle is difficult to reach.

Review: I bought this model two weeks ago at a gourmet kitchen store. Cuisinart is a reputable brand and this model had all the features I was looking for. After using the machine daily for two weeks, I am already looking for a better coffee maker. Here are ...

Pros: Stores 1/2 pound of beans. The burr grinder is a major improvement. Easy programming.

Cons: Cleaning the grinder is a nuisance. It gets blocked too easily!

The Bottom Line: I would suggest that people think twice about purchasing this machine until Cuisinart improves the grinder mechanism and the related cleaning issues. I had two units with the same problem.

Review: Definitely watch the 20 minute CD that comes with the machine as it will answer all of your questions and resolve most of the issues that people are having. Overall it makes a really good pot of coffee and you can adjust the strength from weak to ...

Pros: Holds 1/2 pound of beans

Cons: Jams up in the coffee shoot.

Review: My husband bought this coffee maker for me to Christmas 2007. It worked great the first day, and then the coffee shoot jammed up. After taking it all apart and reading the trouble shooting in the owner’s manual; it continued to have the same ...
