Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Factory-Reconditioned Cuisinart DGB-600BC Grind and Brew Coffeemaker, Brushed ChromeCustomer Review: Takes some getting used to... Summary: 4 StarsI bought one of these about 6 months ago, and I can finally say that I love it. But there was a bit of a learning curve. First and foremost, buy a coffee grinder and grind your own beans, then use the "do not grind" button - it grinds very coarsely and you'll end up with really weak coffee. If you do grind beans in the machine itself, make sure you wash AND DRY all the parts of it EVERY SINGLE DAY. If you don't dry it out, the grounds won't make it to the filter. Annoying. Other gotchas: Buy a Cuisinart GTF-B Gold Tone Coffee Filter. It will make you SO much happier! If you're in a hurry for coffee in the morning, this brews quickly, but pours EVER so slowly, and my refurb carafe leaks a little. I just take off the lid and things run smoothly. The only other complaint I have is that if you do anything wrong (like try to start it without closing the lid), it beeps. Loudly. More like shrieking. And it doesn't stop until you fix whatever is wrong or unplug it. Good in theory, but first thing in the morning it's just a little too much excitement. It's worth it in the end, but you have to learn to live together. I hope the above helps.

Cuisinart Grind & Brew Coffee Maker (refurbished) When the aroma of freshly brewed coffee--from freshly ground beans--wafts into your bedroom in the morning, you won't need your alarm clock. Preset this coffeemaker for your desired wake-up time, add coffee beans to the grinder, and in the morning the beans are ground to a medium grind and hot coffee awaits in the 10-cup stainless steel, double-wall insulated thermal carafe. You can also program the machine to start brewing at the end of a dinner party to avoid having to get up from the table, or to have hot coffee waiting after a brisk winter walk. When making fewer than five cups of coffee, use the 1-to-4-cups setting to improve extraction and heat; coffeemakers without this setting often lack the time to heat up properly, and coffee comes out cooler. A disposable charcoal filter removes chlorine and odors from tap water, improving coffee flavor, and should be changed every few months. Other features include the capacity to use preground coffee instead of beans; 30-second Brew Pause, which allows a cup be poured before brewing is complete; and an audible tone to indicate the pot is ready. The grinder removes for easy cleaning, and all removable parts can be washed safely in the upper rack of a dishwasher. The Cuisinart Grind and Brew measures 15 by 8 by 7-1/2 inches, and comes with a three-year warranty. --Ann Bieri Editor's note: This is a reconditioned coffeemaker. Reconditioned generally means that the machine has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the unit back to like-new condition. Some products may contain cosmetic blemishes.
