For coffee that's as fresh as the neighborhood coffee shop, but served at home, try Cuisinart's Automatic Grind and Brew coffeemaker. It makes it easy to enjoy fresh coffee with the utmost convenience--ground whole-bean coffee pours directly into the filter basket at a pre-set time for instant brewing. The maker does all the thinking, with a range of programmable features: set the machine to grind and brew at exactly the right time, predetermine the coffee's temperature, and program the machine to turn off a half-hour later.

Other features take the guess work out of coffeemaking as well: the flavor setting ensures the optimal amount of water is used for a rich, aromatic taste and no acidity or bitterness, and the large easy-view water window makes sure the right amount of water is added. The gold-tone permanent filter also enhances coffee flavor for a hardy, rich taste. A self-clean feature lets you know when calcium buildup is interfering with the machine's operation; turn on the self-clean cycle to make quick work of grime. Daily cleaning of the machine is somewhat involved since all individual parts must be removed, so prepare for slightly longer clean up in exchange for time-saving upfront.

Two additional caveats: The grinder is noisy, as most grinders are, and cannot be turned off midgrind. And the coffee bar is taller than average coffee machines, so make sure you have a spot for it with plenty of below cupboard space. --Emily Wolf

4.0 out of 5 stars Delicious Coffee, but a PAIN to Clean!, November 21, 2000

So, the good news is that the Cuisinart Automatic Grind and Brew makes GREAT coffee. It grinds the beans in an instant before brewing, and there are numerous settings on the machine, so that you can adjust the strength and temperature of the coffee, ensuring that it will be exactly to your liking. You can also pre-program the machine to make coffee for you in the morning (a miracle of modern technology). I have found the coffee produced by this machine to be smooth, not at all acidic ... about the best coffee I've ever had outside of Starbucks.

The BAD news is that this coffeemaker is a distinct pain to clean. There are lots of parts, each of which has to be removed and cleaned each and every time you want to brew a pot (you can't simply add a new filter and go). There is a lot of rinsing, and you have to make sure that the grinding basket is DRY before brewing another pot.

All of this, however, is worth it if you want great coffee, as the cost isn't that bad. There's something... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The gourmet coffee shop in your kitchen, May 2, 2000
This review is from: Cuisinart DGB-300 Automatic Grind & Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker, White (Kitchen)
The Cuisinart DGB-300 Automatic Grind and Brew 10-Cup Coffee Maker truly is a gourmet coffee shop in your kitchen. It is easy to use, cleans quickly and you never need another paper filter again. Programming functions such as when to brew that first pot, or how hot you like your coffee is a snap. There are a few tricks to get things just right, like:(1) If you put in pre ground coffee you need to disable the grinding feature. (2) Buy some fresh beans from your favorite gourmet coffee shop. Try just 1/2 pound. (3) Experiment with the flavor strength knob inside the unit until you get it the way you like your coffee. (4) Remember for different brands of coffee (i.e.. not from the same supplier you may have to adjust the number of measures for each cup. For example, I get a hazelnut coffee from a local shop and use eight level measures for an 8-cup pot. Another hazelnut coffee from Green Mountain roasters, I have to add, an additional measure for an 8-cup pot. After... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars don't buy this machine, June 21, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Cuisinart DGB-300 Automatic Grind & Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker, White (Kitchen)
I love coffee--so much that when Toshiba came out with a grind/brew machine about 12 years ago I plunked down approx. $250 for it. I grew to dread this machine. The only reason I'm taking time to write this story is to point out that this is not new technology. So, Cuisinart comes along and markets basically the same product with the same MAJOR problems. It is loud, really loud. It is difficult to clean, and it looks like a 5-year Toyota--the egg carton design era. One big, ugly, loud, very hard-to-clean, bulky machine. My best friend bought it and can't stand it. I was still stinging from the Toshiba 12 years earlier. BUT GOOD NEWS! MELITTA HAS COME OUT W/A GREAT GRIND AND BREW MACHINE. It's much quieter, easier to clean, it doesn't use filters, has a timer, and it makes an incredible cup of coffee. It's approx. $20 cheaper, too. I love it.
