The Grind & Brew features a burr grinder that crushes the beans to a preset size and a 12-cup glass carafe to dispense it into.

This Cuisinart coffee maker and grinder features a simple layout and a couple of easy-to-read controls. The 24-hour auto-off feature is extremely useful. There's also a 1-4-cup setting that informs you when the machine is ready. It was a little loud when grinding, however, and the water basin could be larger to accommodate more ground.

The main selling point of this Cuisinart model is the built-in burr grinding mechanism. Burr grinders are more reliable than bladed grinders due to the fact that they employ an impeller, instead of cutting or dicing beans in accordance with their gravity.

Then, you'll have to hit the control button for strength to switch between mild, medium or strong brews.

The controls are laid out in a simple manner, and the unit was easy to clean. However, the DGB's many components require a bit more maintenance than a streamlined drip coffee maker. Cuisinart for instance, suggests cleaning the device's burr grinder and coffee chute as well as the hopper every seven to ten uses. This is much more frequent than what you'd have to do with Technivorm Moccamasters or other less bulky drip machines.
