Amazon.com Review
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

The gourmet coffee shop in your kitchen
Date: 2000-05-03 | Rating: 5
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 experimenting and getting it just right, you will have that gourmet coffee shop right in your kitchen.

absolutely love this and mine is durable!

I've had mine for 2+ years and have used it every day with no problems at all. The coffee is the best I've ever tasted....nothing beats fresh ground beans. I love waking up to the sound of the grinder, and when it's finished brewing, the machine makes a beeping sound to let you know........it's like a snooze alarm. I think it's actually easy to clean, just 3 parts to wash.

The only way to wake up!

This is a must have for anyone who insists on fresh ground coffee and likes to be woken up to the sound of the grinder. It makes great coffee and a great centerpiece for kitchen conversations. It also makes an incredible gift for the person who has everything.

Great tasting coffee
Date: 2000-08-17 | Rating: 5
We have had our unit for 8 months and are delighted with it. It makes the best tasting coffee. I'm not the chef in the family but when I make coffee with this machine, people invariably comment about how good it is. As a reviewer notes below, it does require clean up, including drying, after each use, but it is worth a little extra effort. We lost a piece after 3 or 4 months of use, Cuisinart sent a replacement free of charge! If this machine does give out, I'll have to replace it with an identical one. Just don't think I could go back to regular drip coffee...

How can you go wrong? Everything all in one

We have had this coffee maker for about 3 or 4 years. We have never had a problem with it. I noticed that other people complained about the cleaning of the coffee maker. I have had no problems, when we finish with the pot or 2 a day that we make, I clean everything (using the sprayer on the faucet works great). Then at night before we go to bed I put the beans in and the grounds don't stick in the grinder.If you don't like to use the gold filter basket, an even easier clean-up happens. Just put the paper filter inside the basket (wet down the upper edges and flip it down around the outside of the basket), when you are done lift up on the basket handle and carry it to the garbage where you can then pull out the paper filter easily. Only thing is if you do it this way it will take longer to brew the coffee, so just set the timer earlier!

DISAPPOINTMENTED
Date: 2009-10-29 | Rating: 1
Coffee is bland with an off flavor. Coffee is not hot. We have an older model Cuisinart thermal coffee maker that makes wonderful, hot coffee--the coffee stays hot all day. We wanted to upgrade to a smaller version 10 c. thermal coffeemaker and are really disappointed in this model. We would not recommend this model.

Yuck!

What a disappointment! After brewing 8 cups and not having hot coffee....I brewed 4 cups and immediately poured from the thermos--- the coffee was still"just warm" and very bland. We are real coffee drinkers, grinding our own beans, using top quality beans. This coffee maker brewed the worst cup of coffee ever. Also the programming does not show "am" just "pm" and that can get confusing unless you are really really concentrating in your setting. I would not recommend this product at all. I returned item to the store and purchased another brand name coffee maker. Maxine San Diego

HUGE Disappointment!
Date: 2010-02-13 | Rating: 1
We are serious coffee drinkers and bought this coffee pot expecting quality coffee. Unfortunately, we have been unable to get a good cup of coffee, despite the use of fresh, quality coffee beans that are ground just before use. While the flavor is OK, the coffee is luke warm and gets cold soon after brewing. This purchase was a HUGE disappointment and a waste of money. I would not recommend this coffee pot to anyone. Angel

This Is The Coffee Maker You've Always Wanted
Date: 2005-10-19 | Rating: 5
Finally, something that is what it says it is! "A great coffee maker." My Cuisinart DCC-1200W coffee brewer arrived late this morning and I quickly unpacked it. Following the manufacturer's instructions, I flushed it once, and installed the included water filter (only one came with the unit), and prepared to make the first pot of coffee. The White and Chrome model was my choice to blend in with my other appliances. This Cuisinart product is made from sturdy material and is visually appealing (not disappointing or offending my spouse ((doubly important)).) In just ten minutes the coffee brewer beeped (gently) five times to let me know the coffee was ready. (Yes, I could tell by the silence that it was done but as I said its beep is gentle.) You will love the carafe. Did you know that someone really can design a carafe that doesn't dribble or spill as you pour? Cuisinart did. And yes, you can pour a quick cup before the brew cycle completes. The handle on the carafe is the perfect size and shape to fit any hand. It's just that now you can pour that quick cup without pouring all over the counter. You Mr. Coffee users know what I mean! How did it taste? It makes a fantastic cup of coffee. Whether you use an expensive gourmet grind or right off of the donkeys back, you will be pleased with this coffee maker as I am. The controls are simple and easy to understand as well as reachable and easy to operate for big or dainty hands. The Cuisinart DCC-1200 has the entire expected preset features you are accustom too, and a few more such as the adjustable warmer plate temperature control. You won't be scorching. If you only have time for a quick 1-4 cups, there is a setting made for it exclusively and the brewer will double the heat so the coffee will be hot enough for your liking when it's done. Yes there are many more great feature, so look at the product description for those bonuses. To sum up: The Cuisinart DCC1200 is a well made and finely designed coffee maker that you will be glad to own and use over and over again. I can't emphasise that point enough in type. Enjoy.

Excellent

Disregard the "very disappointing" review -- it's talking about the combo grinder/brewer and not this product. I've had the brew central for a couple of weeks now and it makes the best pot of coffee I have ever tasted. Very hot, and the little shower head over the grinds does seem to make for a stronger brew.It's bulky, certainly, but is an excellent machine. The white/steel finish is much brighter than the trendy, mod, black-on-steel favored in last year's kitchens.

Finally a dripless carafe
Date: 2003-08-20 | Rating: 5
I have used Krups, Braun, Mr. Coffee and others,but I am impressed with this coffee maker. It does not have a door to swing open, the carafe is absolutely dripless!, the controls are above the carafe and out of the way if coffee is spilled, it is easy to program, and best of all it makes a great cup of coffee. Thanks.

Great Coffee Maker-How to Deal with the quirks
Date: 2006-04-15 | Rating: 5
I have had a DCC-1200 for a couple of months and really like the coffee it makes. I had a Braun Flavorselect (actually a couple of them), over the past several years, and really liked them, although I kept blowing the thermostat. When the last one failed, I found out they were no longer made, so I bought the cuisinart baed on reviews. PROS 1.) The coffee is very good-probably better than the Braun as the latter seemed acidic in comparison (probably the charcoal filter in the Cuisinart). 2.) The coffee, both after the brew, and with the warmer on high, is very hot, which is what I liked about the Flavorselect. I have to have my coffee hot! 3.) It is a very sturdy unit, looks good, and is easy to keep clean. (I have the Black with Grey steel looking sides). CONS 1.) As is frequently mentioned, the pouring hole is small and incovenient to get to. My wife easily resolved this by making a small funnel cut out of the top of a liter Coke bottle. I recommend this as a work around. 2.) The condensation dripping off the lid. We work with this by setting the lid about half open for a few seconds, and if need be, lightly jiggle it before completely opening it to pour in the water. That way, very little drips down the back. 3.) The lid is a little difficult to get off and snap back on. However, I soon realized the advantage of this lid, over a conventional hinged lid, is that: 1.)It is easier to pour the water in without spilling (with the lid on), and 2.) The tight fit keeps you from spilling or dripping from the first cup. The Carafe is very nicely balanced. Again, the most important thing is the taste of the coffee, and the fact that it stays hot. Use these little workarounds, and the unit will work great for you! Milt

only one tiny drawback...
Date: 2004-03-22 | Rating: 5
to this otherwise excellent coffeemaker -- you must pour the water into a very narrow chamber and you can't see how much water is in it unless you are making at least 8 cups. I always measure the water into the pot first and then into the machine. No big deal and worth it because this pot makes great coffee! I love the setting for 4 or less cups that superheats the water so you get a hot cup (you know how the first couple of cups are always tepid!)....great machine.

Not a great coffeemaker
Date: 2009-10-30 | Rating: 2
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COFFEEMAKER!! I had chosen this coffeemaker because of the design (goes with the other stainless kitchen appliances) and that it is made by Cuisinart, which I thought makes good appliances. This coffeemaker has worked "perfectly" for me only twice out of about 8 tries, after which I gave up. It's sitting (pretty) on my counter but will only be used as a back-up. The carafe tends to dribble when the water is poured into the reservoir and when I pour the coffee! If you hold the carafe "just right" (I haven't quite figured out what that is) it won't dribble. Too much trouble! I want to just pour my coffee!! Another drawback, IMO, is that the coffee basket is basically pointed so you can't set it on the counter to pour your coffee grounds into the filter because it tips onto its side. This is troublesome for me because I grind my beans and usually pour the grounds directly from the grinder. Twice I've had the grinds go over the sides of the filter and make a mess. I suppose I could've spooned the grinds in, but it's actually hard to spoon coffee grinds out of the grinder with the blade in the middle of things. Another feature that's supposed to be an asset is that it automatically shuts off after 30 minutes. My pattern in the morning is to make coffee, take a shower, pour my first cup, do other things, and then come back for the 2nd cup, which I would like to be hot. Nope! This baby shuts off and the coffee cools down real fast!! I have heard better reviews by friends of $20 Mr. Coffees!! I am back to using my French press.
