The drink loved by millions around the world. The drink that can energize the sleepiest of mornings, perfectly accompany the most delicious of brunches, and be there for you to enjoy in gradual peace or on the go. The drink that can be served hot, iced, bitter, sweet and in a wide array of flavors. 

Of course, we’re talking about coffee.

Often, people flock to coffee chains like Dunkin’ Donuts or Starbucks to placate their morning and midday caffeine fixes. However, doing this on a frequent basis (especially every day) can get cumbersome. Waiting in long lines and spending a lot for a little are the things we deal with for our favorite daily brews. Fortunately though, it doesn’t have to be this way. It’s more than possible to make high quality coffee in the comfort of your own home – and the Cuisinart Grind and Brew Coffee Maker is proof in a pot. Literally. 

 

Who is the Cuisinart Grind and Brew Coffee Maker for?

Most coffee shop goers have something in common. When they look at the fancy, huge, stainless steel machines with tons of gauges, knobs, and do-hickeys behind the counter, they feel intimidation, unfamiliarity, and lots of wonder. How do those work? What do you do? Which machine makes what? 

A glance at these brewing devices makes most people feel like they’ll never be able to make amazing coffee at home without spending an incredible amount of money as well as hours reading a manual.

Luckily, the Cuisinart DBG-900C is absolutely a machine that can produce the quality coffee-lovers are looking for and offer a brewing experience that’s simple, peaceful, and enjoyable. This is what makes it a grind and brew coffee maker that suits both amateurs and experts. It’s made for everyone.

What Makes this Coffee Maker Special?

Whether you’re making a batch for yourself or to share with guests, you’ll be happy to know the Cuisinart Grind & Brew DGB-900BC can produce enough to go around with a bean hopper that can accommodate half a pound of whole beans and carafe that’ll hold up to 12 cups. 

Using this machine for your home brewing will also equip you with ease thanks to characteristics like the water window on the side that helps you see how much to add and the convenient strength selector which allows you to choose how strong the coffee will be. 

With an automatic shut-off capability, programming that lets you set your brew ahead of time and Brew Pause feature that allows you to pour yourself a cup even mid-brew, the DGB-900BC will support you in enjoying delicious coffees without even thinking too much about it. Overall, the simplicity you’re offered with this machine is spectacular. 

 

Why Should I Buy this Coffee Maker?

In the event you run out of whole beans and want to use the pre-ground package you’ve got stored in the pantry, you can press the convenient Grind Off button and you’re ready to go. 

The integrated burr grinder within the Cuisinart Grind and Brew is both special and important for the production of quality coffee because it crushes the beans instead of chopping them. With this method, your coffee beans are properly treated and retain their delicious flavors. 

Another great aspect of this machine is the fact that there is an area to add a charcoal water filter, which will filter your water before brewing so you don’t have to worry about using tap water when making your coffee.

Our Verdict

The Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker is certainly a machine that’s easy to fall in love with. When you consider the technology, capabilities and user-friendliness, it’s easy to see why this device would make a fantastic addition to any home kitchen. 

 

If we had to choose a favorite aspect of this machine that we haven’t already mentioned, it would have to be the fact that the DGB-900BC can keep coffee hot for up to a full 8 hours thanks to the nifty thermal carafe. Overall, this grind and brew is definitely a top contender and we wish you lots of fun in your future coffee endeavors should you choose to purchase it!
