I love this product. It produces really good coffee and the adjustable strength is great. I also love the fact you can set it to brew right before you get up for work. Finally the warranty Cuisinart has is second to none.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased the DGB-850 to replace a DGB-900 that died after five years of reliable service brewing thousands of great cups of coffee. I would have been happy to purchase another DGB-900 but unfortunately this product was discontinued so I went with what appeared to be the closest replacement product.
Although the DGB-850 has a 10-cup capacity versus 12 cups for the DGB-900, this was not an issue as I am the only coffee drinker in the house. Unless we have coffee drinking visitors, I normally set the coffeemaker to brew 4 cups with the strength setting at medium.
The first thing that I noticed about the DGB-850 was that at a strength setting of medium, the coffee that resulted was definitely weaker than the DGB-900 at its medium setting using the same brand of coffee beans. Increasing the strength setting to maximum on the DGB-850 produced a satisfactory strength. However, after a couple of weeks of operation at maximum strength the flavor of the brewed coffee seems to be fading even though the hopper is full of coffee beans. I suspect that ground coffee may be building up in the burr grinder so I followed the instructions in the user manual on how to clean the burr grinder. On the DGB-900 it was easy to clean out the ground coffee that would build up in the burr grinder and I would do this every time I refilled the hopper. On the DGB-850, there is no obvious way to do this.

This coffee pot is amazing. Love that with a few simple steps (literally turning a know and 2 buttons) you can grind and brew without having to measure/transfer grounds from a grinder to the machine. Worth every penny.
