Cuisinart DGB-600 10-Cup Coffee Maker

If you like to wake up in the morning and have freshly brewed coffee made with freshly ground beans all ready and waiting for you then this could be the machine for you!
This Cuisinart Coffee maker has a built in grinder....simply pop in the beans the night before, set the timer and you will wake up with a pot of steaming hot coffee....and it stays hot because another wonderful feature of this machine is the thermal carafe which keeps coffee warm well into the day!
It has a program that lets you determine how much coffee you want, and a built in charcoal filter so even if the water you start with isn't the greatest thing that should be coming out of the tap, it removes impurities such as chlorine which could affect the quality of your coffee.
The very feature that keeps your coffee so hot - the thermal carafe...does present problems in knowing exactly how much coffee you have left. It is not a problem for us as we fill it with enough to fill our travel mugs and do not care how much is left but if you had guests it may be tough to know how much is in the pot!
The grinder can be removed to clean....and PLEASE CLEAN THE GRINDER....if you do not remove all the internal parts on a regular basis this machine will clog and it breaks down very quickly thereafter...we had that happen, but liked it enough to purchase another one, but I do not think this will stand up to daily use long term as some of the internal parts are rather flimsy.
For the price however, the coffee and convenience of having it ready each morning, cannot be matched!
