Cuisinart Grind & Brew 10-cup Automatic Coffeemaker DCC-690PC Review

I just purchased the Cuisinart Grind and Brew. The coffee really tastes great. The only problem that I have is that the unit must be cleaned after each use. Sure, it is easy to clean, but it does take more time than non-grind type units.Condensation forms in the grinding area, and the coffee grounds stick. Grounds also stick to the area where the coffee is blown into the filter.
Bottom line, the coffee is good. Just know that you have some cleaning to do. I think it is a flaw in the design. There is no where for the condensation to go from the heated water,so it forms in the grind area.

Kalorik CCG-19322 1000-Watt 10-Cup Coffeemaker with Built-In Grinder, Stainless Steel Review

We waited six weeks for the product and we were very unhappy with it. The grider did a very poor job of grinding the beans. Afer rereading the directions several times to ensure we were operating it properly, without success, we returned the coffee maker.

Melitta MEMB1 Mill & Brew Coffeemaker Review

I researched a grind and brew coffee maker for 3 months before purchasing this one.I'm thrilled with it. I used to work at prominent kitchenware store and didn't hear good customer reviews about the Cusineart Grind and Brew and the Capresso....The Melitta makes a great cup of coffee, it's easy to use, grinds the beans quickly and you get your choice of course to super fine.The only programing is easy as is the clean up...no hassle which was important to me.The only thing I have noticed is that you need to use more scoops of beans than specified. (I make 4 cups each morning and use about 3 scoops of beans for strong coffee)...

Cuisinart DGB-550BCH Grind-and-Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker, Black Chrome Review

I was extreemly dissapointed in this coffee maker.I had been grinding my own beans every morning and using a Mr Coffee maker.I treated myself to this coffee pot and should have stuck with my old methods.The coffee is good, however no better than it was with my old pot.

Here's the thing, the steam from the coffee goes up into the grinding station meaning that it has to be, not only rinsed, but cleaned after each use.As well as other components.And if you are a household that will make more than one pot of coffee in a row, FORGET IT!There is nothing more frustrating that having to completely clean out the coffee maker for a cup of coffee.So if you want fresh ground coffee in the morning, use a separate grinder.

Cuisinart DGB-600BC Grind and Brew Coffee Maker (Brushed Chrome) w/ DGB-600RC Thermal Carafe Review

We Louisianans like our coffee pretty brawny, and you just can't get good, strong brew from this machine. I brought the first one back, and traded for a different one (same model) because I thought it was defective. Ended up taking #2 back, too, for a refund.
While your typical brew-only machine might have 3-4 parts, this one (I think) has 7 or 8. After making the coffee, the entire grinding portion has to be disassembled and cleaned (bean cup with lid, blades, chute) - much of the actual ground beans are trapped here, and all these parts are thickly coated with wet, steamy bean sludge.
All would be forgiven if the coffee was delightful, but it is merely lackluster and uninspired.
Good idea, but not well executed.

Cuisinart DGB-300 Automatic Grind and Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker Review

Frankly, I'm a little surprised at the wide range of reviews here for this coffeemaker.
Yes, the coffeemaker does have to be cleaned after every brewing. No, it doesn't make bad coffee. No, you can't just dump coffee beans or ground coffee into the coffeemaker and make good coffee automatically.
The Coffee Bar, as Cuisinart likes to call it, does have several internal parts which must all be in place before you can brew coffee.You can use ground coffee, but you're defeating the purpose of the Coffee Bar by doing so.The grinder compartment can hold enough beans to make 10 strong 6-oz cups of coffee which is what "10-cup" usually means with appliances.I like my coffee very strong and I've been able to load more than enough beans into the coffeemaker to get the strength of coffee I want.
Between the grinder and the attached drain basket is an attached screen through which the ground beans goes through and an inserted gold basket filter which must be in place in order to make coffee.On top of all of this is a cover which fits over the basket into which hot water is pumped up over the grounds and then drips down into your fresh grounds.
On this cover, there is a dial setting which you must set each and ever time depending on the amount (and what I've discovered -- strength) of the coffee you want to have.Finally, this entire assembly is covered by a lid attached to the rear of the coffeemaker and latches in front.
The entire internal assembly MUST be cleaned after each and every brewing.So, yes, if you make multiple pots, you need to clean it each time.(However, is this any different than any other coffee appliance?)
There are additional settings on the front of the coffeemaker that also affect the quality of the coffee; so, basically, the coffeemaker is NOT intuitive and you have to read the instruction manual before you start brewing coffee with this appliance.
All of that said, this coffeemaker makes EXCELLENT coffee.I own two of them, because I originally purchased the version in white, because it was all that was available.When the version in black became available, I bought a second one.Both are still in excellent working condition and I haven't had any problem with either.
The Cuisinart Coffee Bar is a little pricey, but it does make great coffee and I heartily recommend it.

Cuisinart Coffee Maker & Grinder - Thermal Carafe - Stainless steel Review

We just got this coffee pot at Costco for $99 and LOVE IT! It takes a little more work getting set up than our old Mr. Coffee pot. You have to clean the grinding components each time for optimal taste - that is why I only gave it 4 stars. But the extra time is worth it. The coffee tastes amazing and it is ready when we wake up in the morning. I haven't experienced any leaking problems like I have heard about.

BRAND NEW Cuisinart Grind&Brew Thermal 12-Cup Coffee Maker Review

At first we were thrilled about the combination of fresh tasting coffee and brewing convenience.We gladly accepted the responsibility to clean it at least once a week (sometimes every three or four days for wetter beans).Over time, our visions of here's what we've discovered.

1) The grind feature is very loud.That is not convenient when you want to grind and brew a pot and still let everyone else sleep.Other grinders that I've used are loud, but this one screams.

2) To clean the coffee maker, the manufacturer provides a small table spoon/cleaning brush.At first, it seems like a cool little accessory, but the brush end is not practical for cleaning out the chamber that the ground bean travel through on their way to the filter. We end up using the handle of a plastic spoon to clear the passage.

3) The thermal properties of the pot are nice, but pours about as well as my two year old...drips here, drips there, and often the coffee runs down the side of the pot.

4) Finally, the straw that turned me completely off of this machine: Lately, maybe once or twice per week, the coffee does not flow correctly from the filter chamber to the pot.Approximately two cups of steaming brew end up on the floor and counter.Yes, the pot lit is clean and placed correctly into the machine, just like we have always done.

The machine is good in concept, but poorly designed.
