5.0 out of 5 stars Too much coffee?, March 14, 2009
This review is from: Cuisinart DGB-700BC Grind-and-Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker, Brushed Chrome/Black (Kitchen)
I purchased this coffee maker around Christmas and was a little concerned over the prior reviews that stated it uses too much coffee. The chemist in me had to do the experiment.

A standard issue coffee from Starbucks was ground to a standard medium grind for coffee makers of this type. The coffee was measured on a 1 gram precision scale according to the specification on the Starbucks coffee bag (2Tbs per 6oz cup) to make 6 cups of coffee. The coffee grinds weighed to be 54 grams. The same coffee beans from the same bag were ground in the coffee maker set to 6 cups and strong. The coffee grinds were then measured on the same scale and wouldn't you know...it was exactly 54 grams.

For my coffee beans this machine on the 6 cup setting produced the following:

Strong = 9 grams (2Tbs) of coffee per cup of water
Medium = 8 grams (about - 1 3/4Tbs) of coffee per cup of water
Mild = 7 grams (about - 1 1/2Tbs) of coffee per cup of... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars World's Best Coffeemaker!, November 13, 2007

This review is from: Cuisinart DGB-700BC Grind-and-Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker, Brushed Chrome/Black (Kitchen)
After considerable research for the absolute best coffee maker in the world, I decided to purchase the Cuisinart Grind and Brew DGB-700BC. It has a burr grinder. This one has the 12-cup glass carafe and it has a warming plate. Reviews on the stainless steel carafe have stated there is no warming plate. It seems the glass one does and the thermal one does not. It works perfectly and is very easy to program and use. It comes with a DVD which simplifies the process even more.

It can also brew ground coffee. Just turn off the grinder before pressing the on/off button and it's ready to go.

As for noise, I don't consider it too noisy. After all, it IS a coffee grinder and I expect to hear it when it grinds the coffee.

The hopper holds a half-pound of beans which is enough to make coffee several times (if you're using the mild setting).

The retail price is $199, but many places have it routinely for $169. I purchased mine at Kohls for... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars IT IS WHAT IT IS..., March 6, 2011

This review is from: Cuisinart DGB-700BC Grind-and-Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker, Brushed Chrome/Black (Kitchen)
I have had another style "mill and brew" coffeemaker for years and just loved it. Because it is no longer made I went off in search of another coffee maker that would allow me to grind beans just before brewing- as I was so spoiled. I researched all of the models made by Cuisinart and finally settled on the model 790bc. It has all of the bells and whistles--bean hopper, burr grinder,permanent gold tone filter, seperate water filter...I was totally prepared to love this coffeemaker. This is what I can say. First off--the instructions are very thorough and helpful (thankfully)--but can you imagine a coffeemaker at this price point without a back lit digital clock?? Very difficult to see when you are trying to program--and there is no glancing over to catch the time...secondly--the grind basket just hangs by a ledge onto the part that swings out so that you can remove it...it takes nothing to knock it off and it is a 2 hand job keeping a finger on it as you are closing the door to...

I've had my Keurig for almost a year and have not been happy with the wimpy strength of the K-cups. Emeril's "Big Easy Bold" delivers a good strong cup of coffee. Hooray!!

We like our coffee dark and this one handles the job. Even when using the 12oz. setting on the coffee maker, this stuff is thick. If you like strong coffee, you can't go wrong with this one.

This review is from: Emeril's Big Easy Bold Coffee, 24-Count K-Cups for Keurig Brewers (Pack of 2) (Grocery)
Don't mean to be the one who rains on the bandwagon (pardon the metaphor crash), but, while it is definitely true what other reviewers have written -- that the coffee is very strong, very thick, and very dark (add in an acid level commensurate with the sludge-factor) -- I don't find the taste all that strong, and taste is important.

True, these K-Cups will provide a pleasant-tasting beverage the consistency and color of Louisiana mud, but for taste, one can do a lot better.

Just for kicks, I had K-cups of coffee back-to-back today, one of this type and one of Keurig K-Cup "Mini-Brewers" Newman's Own Organics Extra Bold, which is, unfortunately, sold out at the moment. True, Newman's (RIP) is hardly as dark a roast or as thick a beverage, but the flavor punches through very robustly and is totally superior in the... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Beans getting hung in grinder problem FIXED!, January 7, 2011
By 
This review is from: Saeco 12-Cup Automatic Drip Coffee Maker with Glass Carafe and Burr Grinder, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I purchased this machine for Christmas 2010. It's got all the features I want and the build quality is great. BUT I had the same problem as others with beans not making their way to the grinder. I called Saeco where upon the woman told me there were no problems with this that anyone had ever heard of. She also said that everyone uses this machine there and loves it. And she knew the details of the machine to a tee so yes they really do use it there. Surely, I told her there has to be a problem since the reports are widely available in customer reviews at various sites. She would send another machine if I wanted it but it seemed like a true waste to me to do that. I would just have the same issue all over again.

So no satisfaction there .. BUT I HAVE A 2 MINUTE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM and now I completely love my machine. Here's what you do .. Inside the bean basket is a black round shield over the grinder. Mine shipped to me with the smooth surface of it sloping down from... Read more

** PLEASE SEE MY UPDATED COMMENTS ON BOTTOM OF THIS REVIEW **

I was an early adopter for the Krups KM7000 and generally had a good experience, contrary to the negative reviews found here on Amazon for that machine. For the purposes of this review, I will use the KM700 as a comparison.

I pre-ordered the "Saeco Bean To Brew" in July and I was slightly apprehensive about trying such a new product prior to any reviews. Saeco has a tremendous reputation for high end espresso machines. But, they have almost no U.S. presence in consumer level home products, especially for drip coffee. So, it was my hope that their high-end features and technology would trickle down to this product. And I am very happy to report that this wish has been fulfilled! The "Saeco Bean To Brew" is a winner as it outshines the KM7000 in several important areas.

What I really appreciate are the little details that separate the Saeco from other coffee... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Basket pops open during grinding, November 9, 2010
By 
Tracy C (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Saeco 12-Cup Automatic Drip Coffee Maker with Glass Carafe and Burr Grinder, Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I've had this coffeemaker for a couple of weeks. I ordered it elsewhere since it wasn't available yet on Amazon. I love the coffeemaker but the coffee basket door opens during grinding so I am going to return it. I'm disappointed because I really liked the coffee maker, but I can't risk the basket not being in place during brewing if I'm not nearby to push it back in. This didn't happen at first, but after about a week it started popping open. If it wasn't for this issue I would have given the coffee maker 4 or 5 stars. I loved the convenience of having fresh ground beans for my coffee with no mess or fuss. Besides the obvious problem of the basket popping out the only other negative is the annoying beeping. It beeps when you push the buttons. It beeps 5 times when it's done brewing! It beeps a loooong beep when the warmer turns off. The beeper is louder than the grinder! I guess I'll be trying the Jura Capresso.

Update: I gave the Saeco one last try this morning before... Read more
