Cuisinart DCB-10 Programmable Cold Brew Coffee Maker with Automatic Shutoff

Amy: Bought mine at a fraction of the price it is now and it works great. No waiting 24 hours for cold brew with this machine. Makes great cold brew everytime.

Rachel: Dude this coffee maker is my favorite kitchen tool currently. It's 100% worth the money and more probably for the convenience it offers.

It makes DARN GOOD coffee and fast, too.

I use stone street Cold Brew Reserve, buy a 5lb bag at a time (with coupons 5lb is like $66). It's cost efficient and delicious coffee, you won't regret it. I use 1 cup of grounds for the max fill line on the reservoir.

Bold setting is what we use, it takes like 40 minutes and you have coffee for a few days. That's bonkers and you don't have to like PLAN IN ADVANCE and go without coffee all day if you forget.

Seriously if you're considering this little miracle machine... Get it.

Eric: I went for one of the cold brew machines that was lower on the price range. Let me tell you. This thing is nice. Depending on how bold you want your brew you get a pot in 25, 35, or 45 minutes. Please note, it is not concentrate like the stuff you make in the fridge overnight. It comes out ready to go over ice with whatever add-ins you prefer. Cleanup is easy and quick generally needed just a quick rinse and a wipe-down. I have had nothing but a good experience with this machine.

Arby: The media could not be loaded.  I've always been a bit wary of cold brew machines, usually because they make bold claims, like five minute brew times, or completely sediment free. This one didn't market itself in that way, plus it's a Cuisinart, which is a brand I know and trust.

I've used it a number of times, and it actually works pretty well. It runs for either 25, 35, or 45 minutes, spinning for maybe 10 seconds on, 10 seconds off (roughly, I've never officially timed it). It's not silent, but it's not terribly loud either. I'm having a hard time thinking of a comparable sound, maybe a loud desk fan? Suffice to say, I've run it while working from home in the next room (no door) talking on the phone all day, and it's no issue.

Build quality is reasonable for the price, most of the parts feel pretty solid, I'd say the grounds chamber is the worst, feels a bit flimsy (I'm guessing they're trying to keep the weight down so it spins easily), and the lid almost always screws on at an angle the first time. It's easy enough to clean, though there are a fair number of parts, the water chamber, grounds chamber, carafe and carafe filter, plus where the coffee drips...

Adri: This cold brew machine is perfect and I’m actually enjoying coffee again.
The machine is super simple to use. My only issue is that you can’t buy replacement baskets. This is my second one & I wouldn’t have had to buy it if Cuisinart sold replacement baskets. You can buy every part EXCEPT the basket.

Holmwood: Before all other arguments, what kind of brew does it produce?
Crazy cloudy with a lot of sediment. Decent taste which is huge, though not as good as same beans brewed Kyoto style over 24+ hours. Now on to the review.

If some other rapid cold brew maker existed (from a reputable designer) then I'd rate this well under 3 stars. But Cuisinart has artfully hit a market that GE tried to play in (before vanishing) and only unknown Chinese companies are currently playing in.

The good: This makes palatable, even half decent cold brew in 45++ minutes. The cited 22-45 minutes isn't a lie; you do produce cold brew at those speeds, just seems better going for the max (or even, as some suggest, cycling through twice which we've not yet done).

Also good: this is pretty decently priced. I'd prefer to pay about C$200 [at discounted retail] for a much more solidly constructed device (including better filters, gears and more noise-dampening), but YMMV. Cuisinart likely isn't ripping people off at these prices despite the disturbingly cheap feel and noise.

So yeah, the bad: Noisy. Whir Silence. Whir Silence. Then, after about 10 minutes an incredibly annoying high...

R. Hawkins: I've been using this for a little over a month, almost daily. I must say it does just what it says it does, a great cup of cold brew in a reasonable amount of time. I make five cups at a time using the Bold setting. I began with the medium setting and found it made my inexpensive coffee so much better that I moved to the bold setting with the same results, more flavor. I drink a blend of Sumatra roast and medium decaf. I normally make my coffee the night before, make it up the way I like (honey, stevia, and coconut milk with vanilla), and put it in a measuring cup and in the fridge for the next morning. I make half-decaf to tone down the caffeine (unless I really need it, then full strength) since I drink the whole five cups in about four to five hours. When I get ready to go I nuke it to the right temp for me, put it in my thermos and I'm ready for the day. I don't use this for cold or iced coffee so I can't speak to that.
I've occasionally used it after work or on a day off and it's just a little less convenient than my old hot brewer but noticeably better tasting. All about a little planning ahead. If you just need/want a cup in a hurry you'll definitely need another...

Kelly Scott: Makes GREAT coffee, only thing I would change is the ability to program it.

Raven's Fan: Nothing like that feeling of something cold and wet hitting your throat, first thing in the morning.

This has been a welcome addition to our busy house, with a 2 Yrs. old and a wife in her 3'rd trimester.
The fact it makes bold cold brew in about 45 minutes is great. We typically have found that running it twice makes a stronger flavor and caffeinated beverage. We tend to run this for a few days and put the extra into a pitcher, that we have in the fridge, which works well for during the week. Super easy to use unit. Our fridge with a filtered water spout and ice maker is an ideal pairing, and has been instrumental to our enjoyment of this product.

Keep it icy.
