More Cuisinart Reviews From The Coffee Maven

Cuisinart DGB-800 Grind & Brew

Overall Rating: 88

The DGB-800 is identical to the DGB-850 (conical burrs, 60 oz brew size, 8 oz hopper) but the DGB-800 comes with a glass carafe. With this machine, you won't need a separate coffee maker and grinder.

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!
