Cuisinart Next-Generation Burr Grind & Brew 12-Cup DGB-800 Review

The Cuisinart Next-Generation Burr Grinder brews excellent coffee and different levels of intensity so you always get the strength you want. Hard in the morning and softer at night. It’s a little on the expensive side though. Probably because Cuisinart is such a well-known brand. Check out our best coffee maker list to see other coffee machines you might enjoy!

Why We Like It – Cuisinart Next-Generation Burr Grind & Brew 12-Cup DGB-800

Cuisinart Next-Generation Burr Grind & Brew 12-Cup DGB-800 allows you to brew coffee at any time of day thanks to its fully-automated programmable features and brew different flavors and strengths of coffee thanks to its grind control. Its stainless steel design also lets it rest comfortably anywhere in your kitchen and adds a touch of class. Unfortunately, it’s not a self-cleaning coffee maker, and it’s a little hard to clean.

Performance

The Cuisinart Next-Generation Burr Grind & Brew 12-Cup DGB-800 Coffee Maker automatically grind your coffee beans at a set time to give you freshly brewed coffee when you wake up in the morning, after dinner, or whenever you want. The auto-rinse feature ensures your coffee grounds enter the brew basket without hassle for less clean-up and great coffee. It’s a fine pour-over coffee grinder model. This Cuisinart is also a 12-cup coffeemaker, so you know you’ll always have enough for your guests too. But if 12 cups sound like a little too much, consider the OXO Barista Brain 9 Cup Coffee Maker.

Design

The Cuisinart Burr Grind comes in a stainless steel design so you know it will look nice wherever you decide to put it. But it also means it will be a little painful to clean, so be aware of that. Check out the Technivorm Moccamaster KBG 741 if you want a non-stainless steel option. The Cuisinart also has a gold tone style permanent filter and a charcoal water filter which all add up to great impurity-removing capabilities. The blade style, burr, also does a better job at providing consistency in your grinding and is less noisy.

Value

Unlike the Cuisinart DCC 3200, the Cuisinart DGB-800 comes with the option to choose whether you would like a glass carafe or a thermal carafe. The Grind Brew Coffeemaker comes with free shipping from the Cuisinart website and retails for $180.00. A little on the expensive side, to be honest, so consider the Bodum Bistro Coffee Maker if you’re on a budget. On a final note, though the Cuisinart is a 12-cup machine, there is another option for a 10-cup machine if 12 sounds like too much.
