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 Customer Reviews 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! Date: 2006-08-18 | Rating: 5 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! Date: 2000-04-28 | Rating: 5 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 Date: 2003-11-18 | Rating: 5 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!
