Cuisinart DGB-600BC Grind and Brew, Brushed Chrome
Review
We bought this machine to replace our dying Bunn, which we used with a separate coffee grinder. Once we got used to the differences we found that we love it. It makes excellent coffee and as far as the clean-up, well, there’s always some clean up with coffee makers. If not cleaned regularly the taste of your coffee will be affected. The other thing we like is it starts with fresh cold water each time. We loved our Bunn for a long time but the water really sits in the receptacle for some time between brews.
We would happily buy this machine again & recommend to anyone wanting a grind & brew (and you can turn off the grinder to use ground coffee when wanted.)

Overview
With its sleek Italian styling, brushed stainless finish and “loaded” feature package, you’d expect nothing less than a fabulous cup of coffee. And you won’t be disappointed! From filtering the water, to grinding the beans, to keeping your brew hot, not to mention having it ready and waiting for you first thing in the morning, this handsome machine does it all, and then some.
Specifications
When the aroma of freshly brewed coffee–from freshly ground beans–wafts into your bedroom in the morning, you won’t need your alarm clock. Preset this coffeemaker for your desired wake-up time, add coffee beans to the grinder, and in the morning the beans are ground to a medium grind and hot coffee awaits in the 10-cup stainless steel, double-wall insulated thermal carafe. You can also program the machine to start brewing at the end of a dinner party to avoid having to get up from the table, or to have hot coffee waiting after a brisk winter walk. When making fewer than five cups of coffee, use the 1-to-4-cups setting to improve extraction and heat; coffeemakers without this setting often lack the time to heat up properly, and coffee comes out cooler. A disposable charcoal filter removes chlorine and odors from tap water, improving coffee flavor, and should be changed every few months. Other features include a gold-tone commercial-style filter (or use No. 4 basket-style paper filters); capacity to use preground coffee instead of beans; 30-second Brew Pause, which allows a cup be poured before brewing is complete; and an audible tone to indicate the pot is ready. The grinder removes for easy cleaning, and all removable parts can be washed safely in the upper rack of a dishwasher. The Cuisinart Grind and Brew measures 15 by 8 by 7-1/2 inches, and comes with a three-year warranty. –Ann Bieri
