How to Clean Cuisinart DGB Coffee Maker

Maybe we just got lucky with ours. We bought Cuisinart DGB of the reconditioned cuisinart grind brew ones about a year ago. We use it nearly every day, sometimes more then once a day. I really wanted a coffee machine with a burr grinder built in, and one that used a metal carafe was required.

I was sick of always having to clean up the cuisinart grind brew mess on the counters from our other coffee grinder we have used in the past. I have had both the single type and the burr grinder. After time they always made a mess with spilled grinds, and my husband wasn’t very good about wiping them up.

We haven’t had any issues with this burr grinder leaking or spilling. As long as you are careful and make sure the lid is closed on the carafe, it seems to pour okay. The carafe keeps the coffee hot for a couple hours, and if I make coffee in the evening, it will still be warm in the morning. (this is not something you can say for a pot with a heating element. We stopped using those years ago b/c i couldn’t stand the taste of burnt coffee, which would happen in about an hour)

This coffee machine is nice, because it keeps the grounds from spilling on the counter, which usually happens if you have to transfer them from a burr grinder to a pot.

The only real issue is the cleaning (and why I didn’t give it 5 stairs), the hot steam from the pot will go up into the grind mechanism, causing the dry grinds to get moist and clump together over time. You have to clean out the grinder every 2 pots or so (run under hot water, etc).

I have noticed that it stays clean longer if you open the top of the pot after brewing, and remove the clear plastic top of the burr grinder so the heat and moisture comes out. This will dry out the grind mechanism, which helps a lot.
