The Bottom Line: This is THE coffee maker for lovers of fresh coffee! It does have more parts to clean but it is TOTALLY worth it.

Review: I Love this coffee maker. I have a black one. We've never had a problem with it. Well, actually it just broke yesterday, but only a little bit,(after being used HARD for almost 3 years) and yet, I still love it.
The part the broke is the little...

possible top lid latching failure with careless use

The Bottom Line:

1/3 to 1/2 the cost of those designer grind and brew machines

Review: I am not a coffee snob but I am pretty picky when it comes to a good cup of joe, it has to come across at the right strength not bitter and with a good aroma. I have suffered through the years with mediocre coffee brewed through the likes of many a Mr. ...

Pros: Customize any feature you want, steamless, makes great coffee

Cons: Takes time to clean, top lid very cumbersome to open & add water.

The Bottom Line: If you're a coffee drinker who likes grinding their own beans, then run to the store to buy this machine!

Review: I originally bought the Krups Aromatime grind & brew. My dad bought the Cuisinart Grind & Brew. This time I wish I had followed in my father's footsteps!

What a great coffeemaker this is! Here's why:

* It doesn't create steam...

Pros: Great coffee - no bitterness, timer, warming plate heat control, good value.

Cons: More parts to clean that a standard brewer, large footprint and awkward shape

The Bottom Line: I would recommend the Cuisinart DGB-300 to all coffee lovers. The built-in grinder and the "Coffee Bar" system combine to brew a very fresh, non-bitter cup of great coffee.

Review: I am a real coffee lover and have been searching for years for a coffeemaker that can deliver a (near) Starbucks level brew at home. However, I am also somewhat frugal ;-) and never wanted to re-mortgage the house to buy a high end brewer. When my last ...

Pros: Reliable. Timer. Fresh ground coffee. All pieces dishwasher safe.

Cons: Bean reservoir doesn't hold extra large amount of beans.

The Bottom Line: If you are lazier than squat, this might feel like a hassle, with all of it's removable parts, especially if you do not have a dishwasher. Great reliable product though!

Review: I LOVE STRONG, FULL BODIED COFFEE. I am pretty sure my blood type is ESPRESSO ROAST. I hate being in the kitchen and doing kitchen chores. I LOVE STRONG, FULL BODIED COFFEE. This type of coffee maker is the BEST as nothing beats waking up to the ...

Pros: Does most everything for you, and makes good coffee

Cons: You might have to watch that lockdown clip, because it could be broken and won't run without locking it down on top. And it doesn't wash my coffee cup for me :-(

Review: I was recently looking to get a coffee machine that they were rating in here top of the line at $199. However, I found this machine at Sams Club for $79.95. At there website it goes for $179.95. Am I glad I found this little deal, it makes coffee...

Pros: Makes great tasting coffee and is easy to use.

Cons: Not easy to make multiple pots of coffee.

The Bottom Line: A great coffee machine. This machine will convert any coffee drinker to using fresh coffee beans. A great and impressive gift.

Review: WARNING! You will want a daily cup of coffee after using the Cuisinart DGB-300. We were not drinking coffee everyday or even weekly before we got the Cuisinart. I preferred fresh ground coffee and did not like having to grind the beans before...

Pros: Adjustable temperature. Turns off after set time so you don't forget.

Cons: Grinder reservoir only holds enough beans for a 6 cup pot.

The Bottom Line: We highly recommend this coffee maker. Best bang for your buck. Coffee is fresh and stays hot for hours.

Review: We bought this coffee maker last year. It still works and looks great. If we were going to change anything about it we would make the grinder reservoir big enough to hold enough beans for a full 10 cup pot. Our favorite features are that grinding is self...

Pros: Only product on the market to grind and brew in one step

Cons: It is prone to breakage due to moving parts

The Bottom Line: If you like freshly ground coffee on a daily basis, this is the best solution for you.

Review: I have used my Cuisinart Coffee Bar for about three years. Over the past three years this product has performed well but I have experienced a number of malfunctions putting it out of business for weeks at a time. In the end, I still love my Coffee Bar....

Pros: Lots of features, great coffee, great warranty, great price from Kohl's

Cons: Why so aerodynamic? Does it plan to fly? Also, odd-shaped carafe

The Bottom Line: An excellent choice for fresh coffee, especially if you find it on a deep discount like I did at Kohl's.

Review: UPDATED AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF -- SEE BELOW! Are you tired of reading short reviews, obviously penned by someone who had a preconceived notion of what a product would be like, bought the product, took it home, used it, and found it not to be what ...
