While I love the basic functionality of the Cuisinart DGB-700BC coffee maker, it has a HUGE downside.

The instructions say that """"periodic"""" cleaning of the chute from the grinder is needed; in reality it's DAILY. Cuisinart told me that I needed to use less oily (lighter roast) Arabica beans; it made NO difference. So, if you like to fully disassemble the bean 'reservoir' and clean the chute daily do buy it. If you don't clean the chute daily you run the risk of burning out the grinder as it WILL clog and seize up on the next brew cycle.

Cuisinart Junk
by: Kelly

I too bought this coffee maker and the vacuuming it every few days is really irritating. But the machine is now 8 months old and the hopper/dispenser is broken and I can't make a cup of coffee. That was my last Cuisinart $229.00 is way tooooooo much for 8 months of coffee.
