Don’t listen to the bad reviews!,
I went ahead and purchased this product after a lot of research and despite what some of the negative reviewers say. I’ve had built-in grind coffee machines for awhile, and I can honestly say this little machine produces some of the best tasting coffee there is! The cleanup is easier than my old GE machine (with grinder). No, it’s not as easy as a normal coffee maker without the grinder, but then you don’t get the freshly ground coffee either.
You’re going to have to decide what is right for you. I program mine the night before and wake up to fresh coffee in the morning. The grinder is noisy, but is still quieter than my old machine. After I pour my thermos, it takes me all of three minutes to disassemble and rinse the parts out with hot water, leaving them to drip dry in the sink for when I get home. About once every couple weeks, I hand wash the parts.
I use the thing every week, 5 days a week. It’s awesome. I’ve had no trouble with it. You just have to know that you’re getting a grind-and-brew, not just some regular coffee maker. If you’re looking for quality coffee, then this is your ticket.

|Cuisinart DGB-475 Review,
I’ve used this coffee maker for about a week now. Overall, I do recommend it. This is the first coffee maker I’ve used that grinds the beans, definitely a very nice feature. It makes very good coffee, probably the best coffee of any coffee maker I’ve ever owned (which is more than a few). And the coffee still tastes quite good after two hours on the burner. I like that you can disable the grinder and just use ground coffee if you want.
It does have a few quirks worth mentioning. First, the grinder gets wet from steam every time you use the maker, whether you grind beans or not. It is very important that the grinder and basket cover are dry before grinding the beans; otherwise the grounds stick to them and you end up with weak coffee. So you must remove the grinder and basket and let them thoroughly air dry before you can actually use it. Safety features in the maker don’t allow you to brew coffee unless the grinder is in place, so don’t think that’s your way out. You just need to plan ahead.
Second, while it is nice to have a charcoal water filter as part of the coffee maker, I was a little put off that they charge about $5 a piece for replacement filters($10 for a 2-pack). They say the filters last for 60 brews. Not quite as bad as ink for the printer, but you get the picture.
Third, if you use the grinder, you have 5 pieces to clean after every use, 2-piece grinder, 2-piece basket, and the carafe.
Overall, I give it 4-1/2 out of 5. The coffee it makes is top notch, well worth the extra cleaning time, but planning ahead is essential.

|I really DO NOT like this coffee maker,
We received this coffeemaker as a gift. While all the features make it seem like it’d be a wonderful maker, it’s really not. It’s a pain to clean, but the bigger problem is that the basket pops out quite often and makes a HUGE mess all over the counter and inside the coffeemaker (spilling the grinds inside). It’s such a pain and I dread making coffee in the AM because of it. I hate to give it away since I don’t want to burdeon anyone else wit hit.
