Cuisinart DGB-1FR Grind & Brew

Cuisinart DGB-1FR Grind & Brew
Overall Rating: 84
A single-serve grind-and-brew model? You bet. The Cuisinart DGB-1FR has a 4 oz bean hopper and integrated blade grinder and brews freshly ground coffee for one. Blade grinders aren't the best, but neither are K-Cups.

Cuisinart DCC-3650 Elite

Cuisinart DCC-3650 Elite
Overall Rating: 85
A no-fuss coffee maker with a few nice features (like Extreme Brew for 25% faster brewing), the Cuisinart DCC-3650 Elite offers a simple experience with a somewhat small 50 oz water reservoir.

Cuisinart EM-100

Cuisinart EM-100
Overall Rating: 82
The Cuisinart EM-100 is a compact, entry-level machine with a 15 bar pump, 53 oz water reservoir, and steam nozzle for an inexpensive experience. For something similar but more user-friendly, check out the EM-200 instead.
About The Coffee Maven

Bryan De Luca

I'm Bryan but most people know me as The Coffee Maven. I grew up outside Boston, Massachusetts and received my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Providence College. My first introduction to coffee was during my college days, when I used it as a source of caffeine to fuel late-night study sessions, but soon I became obsessed with the chemistry of coffee. How did changes to water temperature or contact time affect its taste? Why do beans from Africa taste fruity while beans from Indonesia taste spicy? I launched The Coffee Maven in February 2017 to explore these questions and help others brew their perfect cup. Welcome to my site, and thanks for reading!
