Our machine has worked perfectly until this morning. When we press the "on" button, nothing happens.The grind off button is the only light that comes on.
Can we do something to fix it? If not, where can we get it repaired?

I have programmed the coffee make twice, made sure I was on the right time etc. and no coffee in the morning. Is there any trick to actually setting the program. If you push the on button it grinds it so I dont think that is how to turn on the programming.

please help.

After reliably grinding and brewing coffee for us for several years, this morning, the coffeemaker ground the coffee but the water never did heat up or pass out of the reservoir at all. No water movement. Any ideas?

My Thermal coffee grinder coffee maker has worked for 1 year, but recently all the water dose not go through, I put in 6 cups of water and 4 cups of coffee comes out. Without realizeing that all water had not gone through, I added an other 6 cups of water and it overflowed out the little hole on back. Could it be the filter?. I don't know where to buy another one.

I had this happen to my grind & brew after about 9 months. It would only take part of the water, then beep like it was done. If you started it again, if might take just a little more, or a couple of cups more, but would usually keep beeping done even though there was water left.

I returned it under warranty (no receipt, but they could tell from the date code that it was under warranty). I was send an entire new unit, which worked fine for 6 months, and now the new one is doing the same thing! And now it's probably out of warranty! What a piece of junk for a $200 coffee maker. It could be the last cuisinart product I ever buy...

Our coffee maker is only brewing half of the amount of coffee it should. Half way through the brewing, it shuts off. We've cleaned it with vinegar, but it still happens intermittently. It's actually...

Run a 1/2 pot of vinegar through it 2-3 times (I reuse it) and then run water 1-2 times to get the vinegar smell out. This cleans the mineral deposits from your water that are clogging it.

Condensation- Cuisinart coffeemaker DGB-300

The condensation is normal, not just with this Cuisinart Grind n Brew, but with ALL Cuisinart Grind n Brews - because of this, you will really need to clean it after every use if you want the grinder portion to last long. As far as the bean amt - Cuisinart bases it's reccomendations on a smaller-than-normal coffee cup size of 5 ozs or so. Plus, the condensation, as you mentioned, will prevent a certain portion of the grinds from flowing to the brew/filter basket. Add more beans or less water to make a stronger cup.

Cuisinart grind and brew--water does not come down

If the water is not coming out of the filter basket, and is instead leaking over the edges, then replace the brew basket.

If there is no water at all, call Cuisinart - those coffee makers have a 3-year warranty.

The coffee maker will not let me turn it on nor preset it for in the morning. the on/off button turns but nothing happens.

Did you hold down the program button until it flashed, then try to set the timer?

Cuisinart grind and brew

This happens when the machine needs cleaned. Fill coffee maker with white vineger instead of water. Turn grind off, make sure empty pot is in place. Brew a pot of hot vineger. Repeat. Brew a pot of hot water. Repeat. This process removes mineral buildups inside machine. If you have access to filtered water, start using that to brew your coffee. I do and probably do this process 1 per 6 weeks.

Coffee maker beeping

Is your grinder in and the lid down? My coffee maker (grind & brew) started beeping after I cleaned it and turned the left knob clockwise with the grinder still disassembled. There's a little button that is depressed when you close the lid with the grinder in there (I'd guess it's a safety feature). I pressed down that button, and the beeping went away.

Machine shuts off after beans are ground & sometimes when pot is 1/4 full

You have not missed anything. Unplugging for longer than 16 minutes (has 15-minute memory) is the only troubleshooting you can perform. Call Cuisinart to find out if you are still in warranty. Serial number is engraved onto the very bottom of the coffee maker - hard to read. All electronics have a failure rate. Cuisinart's is acceptably low, but their coffee makers are the least reliable of all their products. The basic problem with electronic coffee makers is that coffee makers produce high heat, and high heat kills electronics and melts plastic. At least Cuisinart has a 3-year warranty - higher than the industry standard.

Let me put it another way. All coffee makers have a high failure rate. As many Cuisinart coffee makers that break down, the non-Grind-and-Brews still have a 91 rating from Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports doesn't give ANYTHING a 91 rating. A lot break, but you probably won't fare much better by switching to a different brand. The problem with a Cuisinart breaking down is that an expensive unit broke down - you wouldn't be upset if your $15 Mr. Coffee broke every year. The law of averages is on your side - a 2nd Cuisinart will probably last longer.
