Product Description:
CusinArt DGB-500BK Grind and Brew Coffee Maker - The fundamental concept behind Cuisinart's Grind and Brew system is preservation of flavor. When coffee beans are freshly ground, the natural oils that result contribute to the natural, complex flavor. As ground coffee sits, these oils dissipate and their unique properties fade. By integrating a grinder into the coffee maker, you're assured of getting the optimal flavor from the coffee bean.Re-useable Gold-tone filterCharcoal filter helps filter impurities from waterGrind off (turns off the grinder in case you have coffee)Brew PauseComfort-grip handleTaste Keeper lid keeps your coffee fresher, longerSelf-clean setting with a time-to-clean monitorPower Cord StorageColor -BLACK

Amazon.com Review:
When the aroma of freshly brewed coffee--from freshly groundbeans--wafts into your bedroom in the morning, you won't need youralarm clock. Preset this coffeemaker for your desired wake-up time, addcoffee beans to the grinder, and in the morning the beans are ground toa medium grind and hot coffee awaits in the glass 12-cup carafe. Youcan also program the machine to start brewing at the end of a dinnerparty to avoid having to get up from the table, or to have hot coffeewaiting after a brisk winter walk. When making fewer than five cups ofcoffee, use the 1-to-4-cups setting to improve extraction and heat;coffeemakers without this setting often lack the time to heat upproperly, and coffee comes out cooler. A disposable charcoal filterremoves chlorine and odors from tap water, improving coffee flavor, andshould be changed every few months. Other features include a gold-tonecommercial-style filter (or use No. 4 basket-style paper filters);capacity to use preground coffee instead of beans; 30-second BrewPause, which allows a cup be poured before brewing is complete; and anaudible tone to indicate the pot is ready. The grinder removes for easycleaning, and all removable parts can be washed safely in the upperrack of a dishwasher. The Cuisinart Grind and Brew measures 15 by 8 by7-1/2 inches, and comes with a three-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I think this is the best....
The Cuisinart Grind and Brew....Contrary, to the lame reviews that the 1 and 2 star people have given to this coffee maker, I have found this maker to brew the best and Hottest cup of coffee I have ever had out of a home coffee maker. Yes, great taste, that we couldn't get out of our past Mr. Coffee's. Yes, you have to clean it and there are a few hidden spots that you have to find at first. BIG friggin deal!!After cleaning it a couple times, it takes 2 minutes max to get the job done and ready ... Read More

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A FANTASTIC COFFEE MAKER
We have had our coffee maker for about 4 years and it has worked perfectly all of this time.It was inexpensive and makes wonderful fresh brewed coffee from beans or pre ground.It turns itself on and shuts itself off.Easy to clean by putting parts in the dishwasher.No worries.
The only thing is that it's a little tall for under the counter.
We have been delighted with it and are about to buy another one.


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Coffee maker
I have this coffee maker. It makes mediocre coffee at best and doesn't keep it hot. I would not purchase it again.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Looks good on paper, not in real life. Don't mix grinding and brewing in one machine, god didn't intend it!
I've had this model for about 4 years now and stopped using it after a few months due to the weak coffee and the mess you have to clean up everytime. I moved to Germany for a year after this and packed it away. Coffee in europe will make you hate the weak result from this model even more!

After returning, I decided to give it a try again and this time have come to a better way to use this maker with better results. I no longer use the integrated grinder, I find it grinds to course and ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cuisinart Grind and Brew is an excellent way to start your day
Excellent coffeemaker - can't find a thing wrong with it.Would recommend this to anyone.Price is right also.Nothing like a freshly ground cup of coffee each morning.
