fully programmable coffeemaker. The unit comes equipped with a built-in
burr grinder, which automatically grinds beans right before brewing, and

coffee to grind--from 2 to 12 cups. In addition, its strength selector
allows for choosing from strong, medium, or mild coffee. The unit's bean
hopper holds up to a half pound of beans and comes with a sealed lid to
prevent moisture. Other highlights include automatic shut-off after
brewing, a grind-off option, and an integrated 2- to 4-cup feature, as
well as a Gold tone commercial-style permanent filter and charcoal water
filter to remove impurities, and a brew-pause function for sneaking a
cup midbrew. A 12-cup (5 ounces each) double-wall insulated thermal
carafe comes included, which seals in heat and freshness so the last cup
tastes as good as the first. The coffeemaker measures 10-2/3 by 8-4/9
by 16-1/4 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.
The
burr mill grinder in the new Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew
Thermal Coffeemaker is responsible for the superior coffee flavor that
you can experience. Add to that the pleasure of choosing the flavor
strength you like best, easy-to-use controls, and a thermal carafe that
keeps coffee hot and fresh for hours and you'll understand why we say
this Cuisinart coffeemaker is a grind above the rest.
From the Manufacturer
The Cuisinart DGB-900BC Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew Thermal Coffeemaker
The Cuisinart Burr Grind & Brew Thermal Coffeemaker
The Quest for a Perfect Espresso
It is generally agreed that there are four basic elements critical to the perfect cup:
Element 1. Water:
Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the quality of the water
is as important as the quality of the coffee. A good rule of thumb is
that if your water doesn't taste good from the tap, it won't taste any
better in your coffee. That's why Cuisinart has added a water filter to
the Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew Coffeemaker. The charcoal
water filter removes chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for the purest cup
of coffee every time.
Element 2. Coffee:
While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the flavor should
be from the coffee. To achieve the same great quality of coffee you
receive at a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality beans. Buy the
beans fresh and whole, only about a two weeks' supply at a time for
maximum freshness. Once the coffee bean is broken, its flavor degrades
very quickly. That's why the Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew
Coffeemaker grinds your coffee just prior to brewing. If it is not
practical to buy small supplies, we recommend you separate larger
amounts of beans into one to two week portions immediately after
purchase, and freeze them in airtight containers. The best way to
maximize freshness is to minimize exposure to air, light and moisture.
So, once beans have been removed from the freezer, maintain them in a
sealed container at room temperature, since damaging condensation occurs
every time the beans are removed from the freezer or refrigerator. Note
that some coffee experts advise against freezing dark-roast beans,
because freezing can cause the oils to coagulate. Other experts
disagree. We suggest you experiment and decide yourself. We recommend
keeping the hopper at least half way full. Be sure that you have
sufficient amount of beans in your hopper for the amount of coffee you
intend to brew. Although it is preferable to use fresh, whole beans, you
can make coffee in the coffeemaker using pre-ground beans. To do so,
turn off the grinder by pressing the Grind Off button before turning on
the unit. It is suggested to use 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup
and adjust the amount to your taste. The maximum capacity for ground
coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper or permanent filter.
Exceeding this amount may cause overflow.
Element 3. Grind:
The grind of the coffee is critical for proper flavor extraction.
If the grind is too fine, over extraction and bitterness will result.
Too fine a grind may also clog the filter. If the grind is too coarse,
the water will pass through too quickly and the desired flavors will not
be extracted. The Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew Coffeemaker is
preset for a medium grind, the optimal grind for this type of
coffeemaker.
Element 4. Proportion:
The Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew Coffeemaker makes up to twelve cups of (54 ounces) of coffee.
Making Coffee with Whole Beans
12-cup thermal caraffe
- Fill the Water Reservoir:
Open the reservoir lid. Pour the desired amount of water in the reservoir using the water level window indicator. Close the reservoir lid. Note: Do not exceed the 12-cup line; doing so may cause the carafe to overflow. - Add Beans:
Lift the hopper lid, using the recess on either side. Fill the hopper with beans. It is recommended keeping the hopper at least halfway full. Be sure that you have a sufficient amount of beans in your hopper for the amount of coffee you intend to brew (maximum capacity is 1/2-pound Do not over-pack the hopper. Over-packing may result in jamming the grinder.) For easy filling, the hopper container can be taken out by turning the hopper container release knob to the unlock position. Note: Do not put any water in the unit once the hopper container has been removed. If the water gets into the grinder motor, the motor may become damaged and may malfunction. Put hopper lid back in place. - Lock Hopper:
If you have removed the hopper from the unit, be sure that the hopper container release knob is in the unlocked position and place the hopper container back in the unit. Turn the knob to locked position. This unit is equipped with a safety interlock system. The unit will not grind if the hopper container is not in place. If you try to turn on the unit for grinding with the hopper out of place, the unit will beep continuously until the missing part is installed. The brewing process can be restarted by pressing the On button. Restarting the process will not affect coffee results. - Insert Coffee Filter:
Open filter door by pressing filter basket door release button. Remove filter basket cover and place a #4 basket paper filter or Cuisinart's commercial style permanent filter in the basket. The unit is equipped with a safety interlock system. The units will not operate if the filter basket cover or filter basket are not in place or if the filter door is not closed. If you try to turn the unit on while the filter compartment is out of place, the unit will beep continuously until the missing part(s) are installed. - Brewing:
- Immediate Grinding and Brewing:
- Turn the Grind Control Knob to select the number of cups you want to brew. The coffeemaker will grind the corresponding amounts of beans. The unit will automatically adjust for low cup settings.
- Press the Strength Control button to set the coffee strength. MILD, MED or STRONG will show on the LCD display.
- Press the On button. The indicator will light and process will begin.
- Programmed Brewing:
Press the Program button. The indicator will light and the display will show the programmed time for as long as the button is depressed. The display reverts back to the time of day once the button is released.- Turn the Grind Control knob to select the number of cups you want to brew. The Coffeemaker will grind the corresponding amount of beans. The unit will automatically adjust for low cup settings.
- Press the Strength Control button to set coffee strength. MILD, MED or STRONG will show on the LCD display.
- The coffeemaker will begin brewing at the programmed time.
- Immediate Grinding and Brewing:
- During and After Brewing:
The Brew Pause feature allows you to remove the carafe from the resting plate during mid-brew. The brewing process does not stop during this period; only the flow of coffee from the basket stops. Do not remove the carafe for longer than 20 seconds or the coffee may overflow the basket. While Cuisinart offers this feature, it is not recommended that you pour coffee before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a flavor profile which is very different from the coffee made at the end of the cycle. Removing the cup during the brewing cycle will alter the flavor of the finished pot. When the brewing cycle is completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the filer for several seconds. After brewing, the unit will automatically shut itself off. The thermal carafe will keep the coffee hot for hours.
