CuisinartSingle-Serve Coffee Maker + Coffee Grinder with 8 oz., 10 oz., and 12 oz. Serving Size, Compatible with Single-Cup Pods, 48-Ounce Removable Reservoir, Stainless Steel, DGB-2

I just received the Cuisinart Grind & Brew today, but I already love it. It is sleek and compact — it fits in the same space as my old Keurig; it is easy to use, and the coffee tastes great. It even has a built-in space to store the reusable filter and its holder when not in use. If you are looking for an alternative to plastic single serve pods, I recommend it.

This is THE BEST coffee maker! Nothing was wrong with the old Cuisinart 14-cup maker, but living alone, I found that often I just didn't need a giant pot of coffee. I didn't want to get something that only uses capsules, so this drew my attention because of the "use your own" coffee feature. It's surprisingly great for the price! It holds a larger amount of water than expected (about three good-sized cups worth). It's pretty quiet, and the coffee brews hot (about an 8 out of 10 on the temperature). The design is pretty modern, and it doesn't take up much space on my counter. I think it will last quite a while, as it's been making me a lot of coffee over the last few months. I love that the grinder is helping me go through so many bags of coffee beans!

It's a good single cup coffee maker, with some flaws... To be transparent around my rating, I bought two of these, so the flaws were not enough to keep me from buying another one when it dialed, but it did fail after a year and some months of moderate to heavy use (5-6 cups a day) The Bean hopper is large enough for several good cups of coffee. If I had to be critical, I wish the container side raised up a touch over the motor hub, as there's competition for space as you fill beans. The motor takes up 50% of the space, so beans bounce off it like it's their last shot at freedom. The first device would always make a sound like it's got a pump running quietly. After a while, all the lights would blink and needed to be unplugged. Coffee cup size would at some point become inconsistent... Eventually, this would be the startup ritual... until something inside finally gave up and I work to water all over the counter and the coffee maker inoperable. After replacing it, it's back to the well functioning single cup I've enjoyed. We will see if this is a chronic issue or just a single worn out unit and update from there. Other than those flaws, it's a really good sing cup maker with an integrated grinder!Coffee temperature:Not quite boiling hot, you can get to drinking immediately Durability:Ish. First one lasted a bit over a year. Taste:Makes a good cup. Your beans will come through. Size:It's compact and easily desk worthy. Fits any countertop.

I read all the reviews prior to buying and there were more negative comments than I was comfortable with. In the end I bought the design and simplicity it really made more sense for my needs and we’ve had a lot of coffee machines none of which I’ve been happy with. So to address the equipment reliability I bought the warranty for $20. After a week of use; I can say I’m happy with the grinder but as others have mentioned it’s a bit messy but not too bad. It’s brews a nice cup in the single brew reusable basket that comes with the machine. But if you use a k-cup, and I’ve only used the Starbucks but it’s a messy drippy brew. So then I bought the brew liners and tried that over the wire basket they provide and it’s even a messier brew. So while I like the fact you can take the disposable liner after the brew and just toss it over rinsing the wire brew basket the convenience and time is replaced by the need to clean up the grounds and coffee splatter. So I’m a bit disappointed because this design could really be improved on and make it an elite 5 star choice. If I had to do it over I’d continue to look for another based on the price and knowing what I do now.

I have this product and it worked great for a bit over 2 years but stopped working a couple of days ago. I ordered a new one that same day and it will be delivered today and I was pleased to see it was less expensive than the first time I bought it.

We prefer grinding fresh beans, but we all have different schedules. This seemed a perfect solution. This coffee maker meets our needs. It is a two step process. 10-15 seconds to grind beans into the brew cup and then another minute and 30 seconds to brew the coffee. Coffee is great. Same amount of beans, different volume. 8,10, and 12 ounces. The less volume the stronger the brew. We prefer the 10 ounce brew. Great for those who want a fresh brewed cup of coffee at different times of day.

This machine is perfect for me as I’m the only coffee drinker in the house. It’s great to be able to easily grind coffee beans and brew for 1. It’s so simple - no hassle! It’s great that I can easily decide if I want ground coffee or to use a coffee pod. Love it!! It takes little space, holds enough water for a full day’s worth of cups of coffee & brews a hot cup of fresh coffee in no time. I can’t believe I read some previous comments about a few coffee grounds getting on the “drip” pan - really? You are getting freshly ground coffee beans to brew and that’s your complaint? Love my new Cuisinart coffee machine. It’s perfect for me:)
