Cuisinart DGB2 single serve coffee maker

[petek]

I grabbed this single serve, grind and brew coffee maker at the restore recently for nine dollars. These things normally sell for around $150 in the stores so nothing to lose really it was half price day on small appliances. Bought some Colombian beans and it really did a good job very fast brewing.

Further; not that we needed another coffee maker as I know many on here have dozens as well. LOL We have been using a Hamilton Beach duo machine that does pots or kcups and it's been good. But the kcup part takes forever to heat up and start dispensing,, not a big deal I guess but a bit annoying.. This one takes about 20 seconds and it starts dispensing just like my previous Dolce Grande pod machine did.

and who doesn't like a coffee maker thread anyways... they used to be quite popular round here.. LOL.

Gonna need more pics of this - didn't know they made such a creature. Usually, Cuisinart products are pretty decent performers.

It really does work well Greg if'n all you want is single serve. Of course the quality of the beans you use makes all the difference. We've used all sorts of different brands of k cups.. like McD's, Tim Hortns, Donut House, Maxwell, Starbucks etc you name it. I even have a reuseable Kup for the HB machine and put preground coffee in it,, and it was meh.. they all taste a bit bitter.. But this one with the fresh ground beans,,, best coffee I've had in a long time. I was making a coffee last night and noticed iit's missing the k-cup holder adapter part you insert to use them.. oh well.. one will show up somewhere, we haven't bought any of those coffee kcups that come in the plastic pod for a long time. Here's a decent review , it appears to have been on the shelves for a few years. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=just+a+dad+cuisinart+coffee+maker

Cuisinart coffee makers have a good quality and longevity reputation.
