Customer Review: Grind and Brew Coffee Making
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd like to comment on all reviewers who have a problem with the cleaning and maintenence of this and other grinding machines. THEY ALL NEED TO BE CLEANED. Wheather you grind in a small grinder,big grinder,all in one or a hand cranked,If you want the freshest tasting product,the machines need to be cleaned,and dried properly.If you can't clean it,don't buy it!!!!
Now, Cuisinart's.I've owned an older 10 cup DGB-300 for over 5 years,and it still works fine.I'll tell you my secret...go online and buy a spare set of grinder chamber and clear lid.$20 shipped. This will eliminate the stress of cleaning.You'll always have it dry and ready. You still need to clean the gold basket or replace the paper filter if that's what you use. I generally brew pre-ground during the week,and grind the good stuff week-ends.
I bought this DGB625 at Sam's club as a floor model for $35.99,couldn't pass it up.This model is more effecient than the older one,narrower in size,makes more coffee,and looks great.The parts are smaller and less clunky.My older one was an hourglass shape,so the filter was cone style, and the grinder chamber was attached to it's filter holder,with a large spray head lid,more bulk.It also had many nooks and crannies to clean too.I semi-retired it to the family travel trailer for vacation use only.
Some reviewers comment on grind itself. I have another secret... scoop some preground coffee into the basket before you grind and brew,adjusting your measurement.This will help soak,and steep the machine ground beans during brewing, if you think they're not ground enough.You can check the grind by stopping the machine between grinding and brewing,opening up and look.I did it once and was satisfied with the grind.Just restart with the GrindOff button activated.I don't think that grind is much of a problem though.
Flaws,as with the old design,the same steam back-up,which doesn't hinder the coffee making,only causes residue in the chamber and chute in need of cleaning,which you have to do anyway.As for problems, so far the only gripe I have is with the carafe placement,and movement.It's not a dealbreaker but the spring loaded pause and pour feature takes getting used to.You must center firmly on the hot plate.As with all other coffee makers with a pause feature,if you don't set it right you could have a problem.And,when you open and close the grinds basket, the carafe jiggles,so you need to assure it's set right.
Making fresh coffee is a process,like any other culinary chore.There's prep time and there's clean-up.If you think your Starbucks or Dunkin aren't spending time cleaning their machinery daily,you haven't noticed it,and they're doing a good job hiding it from you.As with other mass produced appliances,there's gonna be lemons,with breakdowns.Like cars.
This maker works fine.
