From the Editors

This Cuisinart brewer is a fully programmable coffeemaker with a burr grinder for superior coffee. Our special burr grinder grinds the coffee without influencing the integrity of the bean, so the true flavor is maintained. The strength selector and the grind control regulate your coffee intensity and volume, and the thermal carafe seals in heat and freshness so the last cup is as good as the first.

Customer Response

Much better than I expected
After several years of use, we broke the carafe on our Melitta coffee grinder/brewer, and were unable to replace it. I had been quite happy with the Melitta, even though a cheap plastic part on the top broke repeatedly, and I had to use tape to hold it down in order to make coffee.
I did extensive searching on-line to find a replacement, and, with great misgivings (due largely to a few reviews which said it would not make strong coffee, settled on the Cuisinart DGB-900BC.
I am happy to say that using my usual mix of French Roast and hazelnut-flavored Columbian beans, together with a bit of chicory (for New Orleans-type coffee), and the "strong" setting on the coffeemaker, produces coffee that is quite strong enough for my taste... and in fact stronger than the Melitta made with the same mix.

I am very happy with this new machine.

Looks better than it tastes
We had a Melitta grind and brew machine for about three years and liked it because the coffee could be brewed quite strong. When it broke recently we decided to try something that we thought was a step up from the Melitta -- the Cuisinart. Unfortunately, the coffee it brews it not as tasty or strong as the Melitta gave us. We've turned the brew knob up to strong, we've tried to "trick" the machine by using less water but indicating more cups and we've used only bottled water hoping that would enable us to elicit the most coffee flavor. Alas, the Cuisinart device looks better than it gives. If you don't love strong coffee this machine is probably just fine -- and it is very good looking.

the best
if you adore coffee no way to get better taste and aroma because it grinds fresh coffee beans instant without any complicated steps fully automated and my recipe if you like to try it I put Starbucks House Blend Medium with 5 cups of water and i adjust the machine for 6 cups and medium strentght and all my friends are asking me how you did this beautifull coofee don't try another model cheaper because i tried and it doesnt work goodluck and enjoy
