The coffee channel cover can be flipped back for easy cleaning of the coffee chute. Push the coffee channel cover tab away from you and lift up. Use the brush to remove any ground coffee that remains. Brush grounds toward you (when facing the unit head-on) and pull the grind chute lever toward you to send grounds through the chute. Be sure the filter basket is in place to catch the grounds.

NOTE: Failing to properly clean the coffee chute may lead to grind accumulations which can result in weak-tasting coffee.

Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.

Never immerse base unit in water or other liquid. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Wipe heating plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the heating plate. Do not dry the inside of the water

reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

DECALCIFICATION

Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits which form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.

For best performance from your coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker.

To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1⁄³ of white vinegar and ²⁄³ water. Press the Grind Off button, and turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the On button. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed and the five beeps sound, turn coffeemaker off. Repeat operation, this time using fresh cold water.

The Cuisinart DGB-700BC Grind and Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker is an innovation that perfectly harmonizes convenience and flavor for coffee lovers. This appliance combines a coffee grinder and brewer into one compact design, ensuring that you can enjoy freshly ground coffee at home without excessive effort.

One of the standout features of the DGB-700BC is its built-in burr grinder. Unlike blade grinders that can lead to inconsistent grind sizes, the burr grinder delivers a uniform grind, enhancing the coffee extraction process and producing full-bodied flavors in each cup. The grind size can be adjusted to suit individual preferences, allowing you to tailor your coffee experience.

The DGB-700BC offers a 12-cup capacity, making it suitable for both solo drinkers and families alike.

This functionality is particularly appealing for busy mornings, ensuring you wake up to the delightful aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

Ease of use is another key characteristic of the Cuisinart DGB-700BC. A simple control panel with clearly labeled buttons allows for intuitive operation. After grinding and brewing, the removable brewing filter basket makes cleanup a breeze, and the included charcoal water filter improves the taste of your coffee by eliminating impurities.

An integrated thermal carafe retains heat, allowing you to enjoy your coffee at the ideal temperature for an extended period without a warming plate. This not only prevents over-extraction, which can lead to bitter flavors, but also preserves the coffee's nuanced profiles.

The DGB-700BC is designed with a sleek stainless steel finish, providing a modern aesthetic that complements any kitchen decor. Moreover, its compact size ensures it can easily fit on countertops without taking up too much space.

In summary, the Cuisinart DGB-700BC Grind and Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker stands out due to its built-in burr grinder, programmable features, and user-friendly design. With its ability to produce fresher and more flavorful coffee while simplifying the brewing process, it has become a must-have for coffee enthusiasts seeking convenience without compromising quality.
