Cuisinart 10 Cup Coffee Maker With Grinder, DGB-450

This is a good coffee maker and the coffee does taste a lot better with this coffee maker but with that being said it does require some work and extra steps are need for cleaning it every day, so if you don’t want to take the time and do the extra steps in cleaning it every day I would not recommend this coffee maker

10年前から使っていて、今回壊れて再度購入しました。海外では当たり前のブランドで、朝起きる時間にセット出来るのも気に入ってます。コーヒーのいい香りで目が覚めて最高です！

I had this model but had to replace it after many years. The new model is slightly different in that the grinder sends the beans down to the filter to brew. This does make an extra step for clean up as the old model had the grinder built into the filter. That is my only complaint. Otherwise, the coffee is piping hot for hours in the thermal carafe. The grinder does its job so I don’t need a second step in the morning coffee ritual. The coffee tastes great and the program feature is handy when you need it. I hope it lasts as long as my previous one. Lastly, the carafe does not drip when I pour a cup of coffee like other coffee makers.

Finally replaced an old industrial coffee maker when it began to leak. Decided on Cuisinart because I own other appliances made by them. First its big.. almost too big for my little kitchenette. Impossible to use the carafe to pour water into the chamber in a tight area. Plus you have no way of measuring how much water is in the carafe until you pour the water in. Then you can visually see a measuring stick built into the water chamber. So, I’m using an old carafe that I can measure water from. The charcoal filter is weird. If you are using filtered water, then you may want to ignor this entire process. Plus booklet states to replace every 60 days? But they only give you a single filter. The brewing process is fast and I hate that once the coffee cycle is completed the unit auto shuts off. That means you have to depend on the coffee staying hot inside the stainless carafe. Ifs its more than an hour, hit brew with grinder off and it will restart the unit. I can’t figure out how to keep the unit on! Hard to clean but most are. You can remove the part holding the permanent filter or disposable paper filters to clean as well as the bean holder. The instructions where when the clean light goes on sounds like a nightmare so have a bottle of white vinegar on standbye always. My first two brews with a dark Columbian premiim roast were adequate. Cannot adjust temperature and instructions about using hot water is confusing. Grinder is not as loud as others but it will wake the dead on a Sunday morning. A bit overpriced but you get to auto grind whole beans so I’m giving it 4stars. Looks high tech, brushed chrome and black with Cuisinart logo embossed on front. Lastly, cycle for regular and grind brewing is superfast so waiting for that first cup of java is going to make you happy. ENJOY!

We have had 2 of these, one on our boat and now one in our RV. It makes perfect coffee, easy to program and easy to clean. Wake to fresh coffee every morning. The carafe keeps the coffee warm for hours.

Highly recommended. I decided years ago to be loyal to Cuisinart appliances due to a great customer service experience so, if they’re reading this, CS does make a difference. This is my 3rd similar Cuisinart but each provided good service for a long time. I stepped back from 12 cup to 10 cup this time. I almost always only brew 6 cups but sometimes have company. I wanted the insulated pot for energy savings: the coffee brews and then the heater shuts off, but the pot keeps the coffee nice and warm. The clear pot with my old one was easier to be accurate with my 6-cup daily grind, but it only took a couple of days to figure this one out. only negative is that it’s hard to pour the last cup out of the pot, compared to old pot. Overall, excellent grinding coffeemaker, easy to use and clean.
