Cuisinart Automatic Grind & Brew 12-Cup Coffee Maker with Blade Grinder, Programmable Coffee Machine Glass Carafe with 1-4 Cup Setting, Brew Pause, Grind-Off Option, DGB-400, Stainless Steel

Great coffee maker but grinder will scare your pets it’s so loud!!

Terribly made product side button that locks in filter gets jammed (since we originally got this not something that happens over time.) Metal panel is popping in and out on one side. The coffee grinding part gets wet so beans are not all shooting out to roast they are sticking to the wet grinder. The product quality isn’t great or we got one that was tossed around the back of a truck for a while but packaging was fine and didn’t show any damage.

Makes great coffee but it’s a pain to keep clean. Coffee very hot but due to cleaning I wished that I didn’t order it

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!

Makes great coffee but hard to clean. But worth it fo the extra 2 cups.

Best coffee maker, packed with care, always liked Cuisinart 👍

Pot does not sit correctly under dispenser, coffee spills out around the pot and counters

We were quite excited when we were ordering this coffee machine for our daughter's Christmas present. She waited until we arrived there for Christmas, and we opened it together. First, the appearance wasn't that great. The grey plastic looked quite cheap. Okay, that's not that important. And we made coffee. Surprisingly, the grinder was all wet! Condensation happens inside of the machine, it looked quite messy. It took quite a while to clean the machine. We wanted a simple all in one machine, but this one was not very convenient. So disappointing.
