Patti S.: This is my backup for when my other goes bad. Always nice to have a spare.

Nicole H: This is the second coffee maker of this model I have owed! I already knew I was going to love it. Super fresh coffee every time. Love that it has an option to shut the grinder off, IF I use ground coffee, but we always use the grinder and whole beans. I can’t never go back. This maker does NOT come with the re-useable mesh coffee filter that came with buying it new, we kept are old one from our original. Highly recommend purchasing one. Our first maker was 10 years old.

Chuck: I owned an earlier version of this Cuisinart coffee maker and used it daily for more than 10 years. A couple of plastic parts broke within the past month or two, and while the coffee maker was still basically functional, I decided to replace it. I found this "renewed" Cuisinart DGB625BC Grind-and-Brew coffeemaker on Amazon, recognized it as equivalent to my existing coffee maker (and at a lower price than my original one), and decided to give it a try. I'm very pleased with it. It seems to brew faster than my old one. The grinder is identical to my old one, and works very well -- just pour in some beans, add water to the reservoir, close the lid, press a button, and enjoy fresh coffee in minutes. As an alternative, you can skip the grinder, pour some ground coffee into the strainer, add water to reservoir, press two buttons, and have coffee just as quickly. Two important notes I want to add for potential buyers: the Cuisinart GTF Gold Tone Coffee Filter which is shown on the website below the coffee pot is the WRONG filter for this coffee maker (it doesn't fit) and isn't necessary anyway because paper filters work perfectly. Five paper filters came with the new coffee maker. Also,...

Awaiting Valhalla: I'm very pleased with this brewer. I was not happy at first with blade grinder, much prefer burr, but it does a good job. 2 ounces of your favorite bean makes rich coffee. Now to the explanation about the review title. Just don't forget to put filter/shower head in place. It has switch to prevent operation if lid open. Would rather have switch to prevent operating without filter in place. Same switch just different location. If you don't put filter in place you end up with ground coffee all over your counter...trust me.

H Trans Svcs: This coffee maker makes the best coffee, as long as you use the best beans! I use fresh, high quality beans, keep them in the freezer, and only take out the amount I'm going to use. I don't use the water filter that comes with this machine, as I only use cold, reverse osmosis water for my coffee. In addition, I drink my coffee black, so I'm picky how my coffee tastes, and this machine brews it just right. For my taste I use one level coffee scoop per 6 ounces of water, but you'll need to experiment with it until you get it just right for you.

One other note, this machine does require more cleaning and prep than a machine without a grinder. After brewing one needs to remove the two pieces of the grinder,( just open the top and lift up), then they just pull apart and rinse them and wipe them dry. The next part os to swing open the ground basket, remove it, dump the grounds, rinse the parts and wipe them dry with a towel. The prep is to take the beans out of the freezer, put them in the grinder, put the grinder back in the machine, put water in, close the lid and push the start button. That's it, that's all the "extra work" necessary to have a premium cup of coffee in the...
