Summary: Loud and doesn't last long 2009-01-03
Comment: We've had ours for a couple of years. It brews good coffee, but the grinder is very loud. It didn't come with a permanent filter, we had to buy our own. And it has broken twice on us: the latch on the cover broke within a couple of months the first time, and now after another 2 years is broken again. (Without the latch to click it in place, it refuses to brew, so it is an important part.) The carafe cover also broke off on us (little tabs broke), and the part that allows placing the brewing on hold also broke on us. I recommend against buying it.

Summary: This is our third unit--worth the money 2008-11-28
Comment: I just ordered our third DGB for a mere $69. After reading product reviews of the new Burr Grind and Brew, I opted to stick with our tried-and-true white DGB.
I bought our first 2 DGBs together. They were reconditioned by Cuisinart, and cost me only $25 and $35, shipping included, through the Amazon Outlet store.
I ruined the first unit by trying to remove coffee/bean staining on the water reservoir by using diluted Pine-Sol. I should have known better (note: pine oil stays in plastic. Taste and odor both). I kept all parts:
carafe, filter basket, grinding cover and unit cover so have used our second unit, with interchangable parts (we rinse and put them in the dishwasher daily) every day. The brew n pause feature is beginning to not work as well and has leaked the last two mornings. Other than that, the unit still works fine.
I orderd this third unit because I see this model is discontinued now.
Pros:
Great, very inexpensive unit. Not difficult to clean any more than any other kitchen item. This unit comes with a gold filter I just noticed, which we just bought..so we'll have an extra. Temperature control feature is handy. We roast our own beans now (organic only costs us $5/pound) and I can't get better coffee from any retail coffee brewer. This is the way to go if you love the best coffee--coffee at home that you brew yourself.
Cons:
Plastic parts seem to fail after a while, as in the brew and pause feature. It's possible we may have lost a spring or part, but they all appear to be there. We use our coffeemaker daily and twice during the holidays.
Note: the grinding noise is a bit noisy, but not one I mind at all. Hearing the grinder go off at 6am each morning to me is a sound I love: I know my coffee will be ready for me when I wake up. Several seconds after the grinidng noise stops (about 12 seconds), I begin to be awakened by the glorious aroma of my fresh-roasted (by me), fresh ground and brewed (by Cuisinart) coffee. A great way to start the day.

Summary: Great coffee maker.... 2008-10-07
Comment: Well, I don't understand why all the hate for this little machine. It's a darn good coffee maker. We've been using this machine for 2 years now, with excellent results every time. OK, sure, the labels can rub off if you use Windex, but, this will happen with ANY kitchen product these days.
Anyway, it grinds very well, works just fine, and makes a great cup O' Joe!

Summary: great coffeemaker 2008-09-20
Comment: Wonderful product difficult to find as it is discontinued. Like it better than current models. Received my coffeemaker quickly and it works great! If you are looking for a basic grind and brew coffeemaker with a trusted brand name....this is for you!

Summary: Cuisinart Grind and Brew 2008-09-01
Comment: I ordered this to replace a white Melitta grind and brew, which we loved but had just worn out. The Melitta's are no longer available in white. I am pleased with the Cuisinart. The price was certainly right. It makes a great cup of coffee. The unit is larger, I would've preferred a more slim-lined size. Overall, I am very satisfied.
