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.

In 2017 I got a Cuisinart grind and brew with a K- cup built in that was on its last leg already. Won't keep the coffee hot any more and impossible to clean. The only reason I bought another Cuisinart was so that I could have a spare grind cup because you have to clean and dry the stupid thing for each use. If you only make one pot a day its no big deal, but if you want a second pot its annoying. But guess what, Cuisinart changed the grind cup. That's right this one is the mirror image of the old one. I can't reuse grind cup or the brew basket. I can't see any benefit to this and if I'd known I wouldn't have bought another one that can't be cleaned. Well, can't be cleaned if you have a life beyond meticulously cleaning your coffee maker with a Q-tip. Every. Freakin. Day. Also, it has a setting for disabling the grind function, but guess what? You still have to have the grind cup in place to make it work? And what's up with crapping out in 7 years? We got a percolater as a wedding gift that lasted 21 years! I won't buy another Cuisinart.

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 owned the older model of this coffee maker: DCC-1200P1 and had it for at least 15 years. It was awesome and was in love with it. I purchased this new model since it has a grinder in it and it's a great brand. I like it and it's very functional. Overall, I'm happy. 1. I wish the grinder allowed for different ground sizes. It's just one setting, one size but it's not a big deal as it makes great coffee. 2. I would move the 1-4 Cups button above the Program button. People use the 1-4 cups button more than the Program button so I wish it was on top so you would hit all 3 top buttons to get the coffee maker started. Right now, you have to hit 2 buttons on top and 1 down. Again, not a big deal but just a design improvement IMHO. Maybe I'm being OCDish. Lastly, once coffee is made, I noticed the coffee maker shuts off after 1 hour. I think the previous model used to remain on for 2/3 hours, if I recall correctly. Anyway, not a big deal at all on these. This is a very safe choice and a great coffee maker to go with across the board and I recommend it.
