Cuisinart Automatic Grind & Brew 10-Cup Coffee Maker with Blade Grinder, Programmable Coffee Machine Glass Carafe with 1-4 Cup Setting, Brew Pause, Grind-Off Option, DGB-450NAS, Black/Stainless Steel

This Cuisinart grind and brew is the best for making coffee with just ground beans or already ground. I prefer the stainless-steel carafe. I have been utilizing this model--(don't like the fancy new grinder)--with this simple grinder for over 15 years. Can't beat it and I am a long-time coffee lover and drinker. The machine is easy to use and maintain. Reasonably priced and last a good while. You can set it up and forget it until the timed brew kicks in. Wonderful to wake up in the morning with the smell of freshly brew coffee.

I've always liked this company on their products and everything. But I'm gonna give you some info on it that I just learned today with it. It just came today number one. If you go a speck over the water of the 10 mile, when you're filling the water up, it flows out in the back, there's a peephole in the back where the water comes out of I advise you to turn around and go below the 10 mark marker. So you'll be sure not to have overflow in the back to my suggestion is to when you're ready to clean it out, the filter part where your coffee beans go I would just wipe it out because I program mine for the next morning and it It will stick the coffee in the grinder part. So a lot of it didn't go into the filter part to brew. The last thing is on the video with the man, not the first video. And the second one, he doesn't tell you anything about on programming. The light on programming when it's set, the light goes off. He doesn't explain nothing on the programming. So it's trial-and-error on this one, but all in all, I like it a lot, I really do keeps my coffee warm course. I will give you a hint. I've always liked thermal coffee pots. I would put hot water in the thermal pot while you're fixing your coffee. For whatever occasion, okay, once that is all done, empty the hot water out of your pot, the reason to it is it keeps it hotter longer, okay, I've been dealing with thermal coffee pots, and that's my suggestion cause I can have it up from 5 o'clock in the morning until almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon before it even starts just when Just warm Look how long it stays hot. If you warm your pot up. One more thing I will suggest for people who have animals, especially cats. If you program your coffee pot for the next morning. Beware of this, the grinder is very loud and I'll give you an example. It scared my cat that you just wouldn't believe it completely flew off. The bed couldn't figure out the noise, but they do get used to it. She's used to it now, but that's a little joke. I'll tell you. I don't need any other grinder on the counter. Now, cause all I do have is whole beans, nothing else like I said, I give it 5 stars their products are good. I really like them company and I'll pay the money if they give quality. Products, and they do

I have been a Cuisinart coffee maker fan for decades. The machines are always reliable, easy to use and make solid coffee. This one, I'll just say that whomever designed it should find a new occupation. The grinder is exceedingly loud and runs waaaaay longer than necessary. It is very tedious to clean, requiring deep cleaning after each use or the ground beans won't dump into the filter. And I mean, deep cleaning. Like take it apart cleaning. Not all of the ground beans, even when clean, dump into the filter. The bean hopper is tiny and in a location that makes it difficult to actually get the beans in the hopper without them going into other parts of the machine. I've had it for a couple of months and I won't even take it to Goodwill as I don't want some poor soul to endure the same fate. It's going into the trash.

Initial inspection and first use: Lots of plastic parts make me question the quality at first glance. The stainless face is a nice touch. Buttons are firm with good feedback. Not really sure why it has a warmer AND a stainless carafe.. The grinder is LOUD and screechy. It gets quite moist during use, so cleaning MUST be done after every use. No clue what the 1-4 button does, the directions make it sound like a different brew/extraction process and not just for making 1-4 cups. Not sure why you'd need a separate button for that. I wish there was more control over the grind size instead of the "one size fits all" approach. The blade grinder works decent and gets the job done loudly. The only way to control the strength of the brew is by adding more beans. The filter bucket will also require a lot of cleaning attention because the grinder shoots grinds everywhere, not just into the filter basket. It does make a decent cup of coffee compared to the 12 cup B&D I was previously using. The Cuisinart brews the water a bit hotter, the brew is a bit smoother. The carafe is a PAIN to empty, unless you have a double jointed wrist. It keeps the coffee hot for a couple hours, but its horrible to pour.

This has a lot of steps to set up the night before but is so easy to clean and works well. It makes EXCELLENT coffee!!

If you’ve ever wanted to start your day with the sound of a jet engine in your kitchen, the Automatic Grind & Brew 10 Cup Coffeemaker (DGB-450) has got you covered. This thing is LOUD—like, “wake-the-dead, summon-the-neighbors, question-your-life-choices” loud. If you live with light sleepers or have paper-thin walls, prepare for some morning hostility. The grind cycle lasts about a minute, but it’s a minute of pure chaos. Once the noise settles and your ears stop ringing, you’ll get a full 10-ounce pot of coffee in 10 minutes, which is great—except for the cleaning. Oh, the cleaning. The grind system gets so steamy it practically turns into a mini sauna, leaving condensation everywhere. That means after every single use, you’ll need to clean out the grinder and wipe down the inside unless you enjoy mystery leaks and coffee-scented surprises. Add another 10 minutes to your morning routine just for maintenance, making this the most high-maintenance relationship you never asked for. And if you’re a little too generous with the water reservoir? Surprise! There’s a sneaky hole in the back that will ensure your countertops get a nice morning rinse. Final verdict? It makes coffee. It does its job. But be ready for a daily commitment of noise, cleaning, and unexpected water spills. If you enjoy extra chores before your caffeine kicks in, this might just be your perfect match.

Pros: The unit is reliable and works as advertised Reasonable price Nice insulated carafe (Reviews I read prefer insulated carafe over lower model with glass carafe) Cons: Have to clean and refill the unit every day Noisy during bean grind My wife wanted to wakeup to fresh ground coffee every morning, with the smell wafting through the house as she lay in bed. But within a week she stopped loading it the night before and just runs it manually in the morning. I knew that would happen, but I still got the full husband points for the gift so that's what matters! For ongoing husband points you can clean/load the unit yourself the night before. With these 'grind and brew' combo units, there is one big differentiator - whether the unit can grind and brew across multiple days or has to be cleaned/reloaded every day. This is a 'reload every day' solution, which I selected due to being less complicated. The reviews for 'multiple day' units pointed to problems managing beans/grounds/water reservoir/moisture existing in the unit together across multiple days. Overall happy with the purchase and would recommend. But I'd say if you're buying it to use the scheduling feature, be sure you'll have the discipline and memory to setup the unit the night before. Otherwise the price and complexity is probably not worth it. Having a separate grinder and brewer is a cheaper, quieter and more reliable solution.

Piece of junk! There is a charge for product support ,whether or not the charge is returned; I don’t know, didn’t get that far. Grinder motor quit working after about year after purchase! After writing this review I called customer support with the number provided on Amazon (as alast resort) and they honored their warranty. Cuisinart is shipping me a replacement. cuisanart support at the number provided on Amazon

Adorei ! Estou encantada com a cafeteira. Se tivesse que falar algo negativo , diria que ao usar o moedor do café ela faz um barulho durante o processo . Atentar para que se for usar só a parte do pó do café é necessário ativar o botão que desativa o moedor (grind off).

I love the new cuisinart coffee maker,so easy to setup.

Es de las mejores cafetera que he tenido. De preferencia hay que comprarla con la jarra de aluminio. Muy buena calidad y excelente molido y colado.

美味しいコーヒーが飲める

item came late and had electrical problems Am still waiting for return label although accepted over a week later possibly steer clear of this supplier
