Great coffee maker wish it had a bigger grinder. With grinder full I can only use 6cups of water for a decent pot of joe.

This is one great coffee maker. It is easy to clean after each use, all you have to do is rinse out the grinder and let it dry. I would buy another one tomorrow if this one stopped working.

In 11 years of marriage, my husband and I have gone through 3 grind-and-brew coffee makers, this is our 4th or rather 5th. Our first was a Cuisinart wedding gift. My mother broke the lid while visiting and then the carafe a week later. Cuisinart replaced both, but since we had difficulty putting the new lid on, my mother bought us a replacement Melita grind and brew coffee maker out of guilt. The Melita didn't survive the cross country move and was replaced by a Wal-Mart special Mr. Coffee. Mr. Coffee still grinds and brews these days, but after 3 years, the buttons no longer work to set the clock and auto-start. To say the least, we put our coffee makers through a lot - daily use and sometimes 2 pots on weekends.
I was hoping to replace the Mr. Coffee with something made in the USA, but since that simply wasn't possible, I went looking around town to see what I could find. I purchased the floor model DG300 model coffee maker from Big Lots for $45 - no returns allowed. Everything looked in working order. I wouldn't have risked it buying a floor model, but the past experience with Cuisinart made me confident. Sure enough, the floor model I brought home didn't work. The grinder didn't grind. It would brew, the clock worked, the timer worked, but the grinder just didn't do a thing.
That first morning, I called Cuisinart Customer Service twice. First, I needed help registering the product because I didn't have the product box to get the right numbers and I didn't have a manual. Downloaded the manual, but couldn't get the grinder to work. Called customer service again while firing up the old coffee pot to get some caffeine into our Saturday morning quick. Turns out the DG300 was discontinued and based on the manufacture date was already out of warranty by the time I purchased it. First, they suggested returning it to the store. When I explained that it was a floor model purchased the day before and it was the last one they had, the agent put me on hold. She came back after a brief consultation with a supervisor. The warranty was expired, but since I'd just purchased it, Cuisinart honored the full product warranty! Second, normal warranty service requires you to pay shipping to AND from Cuisinart. Because I had just purchased the item, they waived the shipping to Cuisinart and sent the new one right out at no cost. Third, because it was a discontinued model, Cuisinart upgraded my purchase to the next comparable model. That model was out of stock, so they upgraded my purchase to the DGB-650BC.
I received the replacement this week and I absolutely love it! This is now my 4th style of grind and brew coffee maker. This one is definitely the easiest to clean. I also like the charcoal water filter as we have terrible water quality. The carafe doesn't drip when it pours like the Mr Coffee model. The only thing I liked about the Melita over all the others is the filter basket was the grinding basket, so fewer things to clean. The drawback was that you couldn't change the filter basket when it got nasty unless you wanted to order a new grinder/filter from Melita.
Most important to me, however, is the customer service experience. Cuisinart has excellent, helpful customer service reps and they stand behind their products. Lately, most companies I've dealt with have been terrible, but Cuisinart continues to uphold high customer care standards and they go beyond to make things right.
"I love my coffee pot :)" 2010-09-20

My cheap-'ol coffee pot that I've been using for the last year and a half was recalled- so I took it back. Perfect excuse for a brand new coffee pot. My last one was a "General Electric®-branded 12-cup digital coffee makers"- so the quality and taste is a huge improvement. This thing is a beast, and so far I love it! I really wanted the Cuisinart DTC-975BKN, but there was NO way I was going to wait close to a week for process/shipping, or spend 50$ extra for next day delivery. $150 for a coffee pot marked at $100? No thanks. My husband spotted this one, and liked it. He wanted me to have a thermal one- knowing that I chase after my 2 year old all day and my 6 month old is a constant distraction... it takes a while to get back to my coffee, and I didn't want cooked coffee any more. It has the grinder, which is a ++ because sometimes I like to buy the beans (I switch around).
1) The coffee isn't weak, if you do the one scoop per cup it works perfect. Use the scoop that comes with the coffee pot. I realized my scoop is about 1 1/2 scoops of the measuring spoon it came with. 10 scoops of coffee fits just fine in the coffee filter, 10-11 scoops of beans fits just fine in the grinder. I could probably get more, but I can't imagine why when the coffee comes out so good with just 11 scoops of whole beans.
2) I've never once had my coffee pot spill all over the counter and floor. No flooding, no backing up... I don't get how people could possibly have this problem. Are you guys screwing the cap on? Is it on right? There is a LOCK position on the top of the carafe. Are you going over the 10 line on the water indicator? The carafe only holds enough liquid to reach that 10 line. You go over that, it WILL over flow.
3) My coffee stays hot all morning and through most of the afternoon. It brews at 6am, by 12pm it's still hot enough to drink nicely, by 3 it's getting a bit room temperature...that's plenty of time.
4) The program works just fine. No light on the lcd screen. I don't really care. I know what time it is when I'm up grabbing my coffee, it's too darn early. It's why I'm dragging myself to my coffee pot. :P If I'm woken up before I have the pot set to brew (my kids like to make sure I'm up at unbelievable hours ;)) then I just go press the on button.
5) I switch between whole beans and grounds- I set both up before I go to sleep every night. If I'm using the grounds, I press the "grind off" when I click the program on. If not, then I leave the grind to go.
6) The grinder being loud? It's a grinder... common people. You bought a GRIND and brew, what did you expect? It sounds about the same as an electric pencil sharpener. It sounds like a grinder to me. Seriously, it's not that loud. My other grinder is louder. I really didn't expect much quiet when buying this. On the topic of the machine being loud, the 5 beeps are not loud either. I have to be in the kitchen to hear it.
7) The carafe pouring slow... it's a thermal, it can't have a wide opening or air would get inside, rendering the thermal part of the carafe pointless. If you want a really fast flow- go buy a coffee pot with a glass carafe. If you don't want cold, cooked coffee that you'll have to stick in the microwave for a minute to make drinkable after an hour from brewing, then take the extra 5-10 seconds to pour your coffee. I posted a picture of how fast the flow is.
Now the major complaint of people- clean up... come on. Really? I spent 125$ at the store for this thing, and as ANY kitchen appliance you buy, you have to make sure it's cleaned. You keep it clean, it makes good coffee for you. You don't buy a blender expecting to be able to use it and use it and use it without cleaning it each time- do you? You even have to clean the external coffee grinders, or you get build up from your beans. Yes, you have to clean it- big deal! I have 2 kids, 2 and under. It takes all of a minute to rinse out the filter, filter basket, filter lid, and coffee grinder- and to run some water over the water filter. The filter basket I push down the bottom part to let water run out of the coffee dispenser to clean out any build up right there. After I rinse them out I set them in the drainer to dry. When I finish my coffee I rinse out the carafe and allow water to run through the lid and set those out to dry in the drainer too. NOT a long job. If I want more coffee then it takes another minute to run some paper towel or a hand towel over the important parts (the grinder if I'm using whole beans, the filter lid and the actual filter) and make my coffee. No hurt. I then rinse them all back out when I get around to it. I do some soap and water on the parts every other day, just a quick rinse outside of that. I have not encountered a problem using this method. The cleaning is really not a problem unless you were hoping not to have to clean at all. If that's the case, you would be better off with a 30 dollar coffee pot, because the taste quality on any coffee pot (regardless of how much you pay for it) will be about the same if you don't clean it to get the old coffee out.
My only complains would be that it can be a bit tricky to read the water level if you don't have a good idea of how much goes into it (in my case, I pour 3 500mL purified water bottles into it, and it reaches 10cups perfectly) and it's hard to determine how much coffee is left in the carafe because the weight of the carafe itself. They are things that I won't be crying over, though. This coffee pot is amazing.
If anyone would like pictures taken of certain parts of the machine, let me know. As long as it doesn't mean taking my machine apart to get them then I'll be more then happy to give you an idea of what part of the machine looks like or how it works.
