Cuisinart Automatic Grind and Brew 12-Cup Coffeemaker with 1-4 Cup Setting and Auto-Shutoff, Black/Stainless Steel, DGB-400NAS

The coffee maker is perfect for making coffee and has a built-in grinder I love it very much it is very easy to use and the unique smell of coffee I recommend it the 100% smell of coffee pressure yourself practical to use and in different ways

Great coffee maker has worked up very well so far,.... I wish that the cover of the pot would lift up more easily but other than that, it's working very well.A man of reese, thank the sense, and I seem to be

Some minor improvements have been added to the newer model. First off, the new color option. They call it "stainless" on the website but it's really a lighter grey plastic versus the darker black color that they used to ONLY have. (They still offer that but this was a new option.) I like the lighter grey color because it does show what isn't clean! (That can be both good and bad, I guess.) The coffee grinder container is EXACTLY the same (but light grey instead of black). I wish it were slightly larger because I would like a little bit stronger coffee and still a full pot but I can live with that. The grounds basket is improved with a hinged lid, which, again, is both good and bad. It's easier to put in place but a littler hard to clean. The instructions say you can pop the lid off but I haven't tried that yet. The blue back-lit display is, once more, both good and bad. The older model was just black on grey LCD and not lit. This new back-lit one is pretty bright and the blue doesn't really match all the other appliances that are displaying the time (stove, microwave, air fryer, etc.) Not a huge deal. The carafe is the exactly the same as the previous model (except the molded top is also the light grey color). So, most of the improvements are cosmetic. The coffee brewing process and the taste of the coffee is exactly the same.The delivery from Beach Camera was impressive! Shipped the same day and arrived 2 days later. THAT'S important if your without a coffee pot!

While it makes good tasting coffee (although that primarily has to do with the bean itself), brews quickly and grinds don't overflow if making less than 10 cups, there are some negatives to it. First, it did not come with an instruction manual so I had to look some things up online and also called the manufacturer to send me a manual which I have still not received. Second, it does not keep the coffee very warm. And last, the grind function is an automatic function, so if you use ground coffee and program it to brew and forget to turn the grind off, that will be your VERY LOUD alarm in the morning.

I purchased this coffee maker to replace my coffee maker and grinder. Total mistake, do not buy for many reasons.1. The grinder gets filled with water condensation from the coffee brewing, which means you have to remove the entire grinding until and wash it. Of course coffee grinds do not go down the drain, so you have to use paper towels to dig out all the wet coffee grinds and thoroughly wash after each use instead of being able to wipe out a DRY grinder with a towel.2. As shown in the picture, the bottom of the grinder has a piece that turns the blade. It MELTED a month after using it. I ordered a new grinder thinking it would come with this piece. Nope. Now I have to waste my time over a stupid coffee maker to call the manufacturer and hope I can get this part. UPDATE: I emailed Conair (owner of Cuisinart) and this failed part is NOT available. So, now I own a door stop shaped like a "coffee maker."3. There is no way this is a 12-cup coffee maker! The grinder and basket capacity are more like a 6-cup. I made my first pot according to the directions and I could see through the brewed coffee. If I wanted coffee that tasted like watered dirt, I'd go my local tire shop (love my tire shop, but not the coffee).The entire reason I bought this coffeemaker was to replace two pieces of kitchen equipment with one. Do not waste your money on this pile of garbage. If you do buy it, do NOT throw away the box for when you return it. I cannot return since I do not have the original packaging.

Hey what’s not to like. I can have fresh ground, regular coffee or k cups ( I think I can have the latter). Love to wake up to fresh brewed coffee. It’s a slick machine and easy to clean up. I bought an Amazon renewed for about half price and then used some of my Amazon earned money to fund the rest. Being renewed it didn’t set me back much. I love how I am saving money now not using k cups. Easy to use ! I just wished the water would shut off when making just a few cups if the reservoir was full. That’s my only complaint. The rest is great.

I didn't realize how grey the item was, but it works for our space. And it works great. We use the 1-4 cups setting for up to 7 cups to make sure it's piping hot (otherwise it's barely warm, and that's why you WANT that kind of feature). There's a nice replaceable filter on the water reservoir. It sounds like an airplane taking off when it grinds but what grinder isn't loud? It does require somewhat careful cleaning after every use, but not a big deal. Comes with a nice forever filter or takes paper filters. I get good coffee and I can remove one more item from my countertops, so that's a win for me.
