Cuisinart DGB-400 Automatic Grind & Brew 12-Cup Coffeemaker, Black/Silver

I love this coffee maker! It delivers freshly ground coffee, perfectly brewed, exactly when you want it. It is simple to operate but you will have to use it a few times before you get it. It's not intuitive but neither is a food processor the first time you use it. You will need to read the instructions and carefully follow the steps to set up the clock (remember to set AM or PM) and the timer. Using it is easy: pour water, install a disposable unbleached paper water filter in brew basket, measure coffee, and push SET. Nothing to adjust. Start with filtered or bottled water. My experience: I fill the water reservoir level to 10 cups and add 6 TBS coffee beans to the grinder basket. This makes 4 large mugs of robust-but-not-spoon-dissolving coffee. Beans: I use dark roast like Peet’s Major Dickason's or Starbucks Cafe Verona or medium roast Lavazza Espresso. They all make a robust cup that stands up to warm milk or froth. Let experience will be your guide. Care: I put the removable parts in the dishwasher every day. This may be counter to the manufacturer's instructions, but it's what I do. I'm not telling you to try this at home... but, after 18 months, it's fine. Once a month, I clean the coffee maker, per the manufacturer's instructions, and replace the little water filter in the reservoir. That's it. One quick caveat: the grinder is loud. You will think Krakatoa is erupting the first time you hear it, but you get used to it because the coffee is so good. I don't hear it go off any more; I awaken to the aroma of the freshly ground brewed coffee, not the noise. There are other fancier, more complicated auto grind coffee makers, but for a delicious, reliable, simple to use and clean coffee maker, at a reasonable price, the Cuisinart 12-cup Grind & Brew is the best!

It’s a well made coffee brew/grinder combination. However, like many of the glass pot coffee makers on the market, the hot plate isn’t adjustable.

ミル付き珈琲メーカー、なかなか使いやすいです。豆からでも、粉からでも、淹れたて美味しかったです。この製品、ガラスビーカー式なので洗いやすいところがよく、保存は別売の魔法瓶を使ってます。注文つけたい所は、引いた珈琲をドリップする時に、ミルの部分に蒸気が通る為に、水蒸気が溜まっていちいち拭き取らなければならない点が残念です。

Easy to use, makes a perfect cup of coffee. The timer allows you to set it to go whenever you want and it is very easy to clean. Terrific value.

Estoy muy satisfecho con esta cafetera. La calidad es excelente, el café se prepara rápidamente y el aroma al momento de hacerlo es delicioso. Su molino integrado garantiza frescura en cada taza. ¡Una gran compra para los amantes del buen café! El tiempo para hacer 10 tazas de agua es de 10 minutos aproximadamente, incluye el tiempo de moler el café.
