The water reservoir is filled by flipping up the top lid, and there’s a water level indicator with cup markers on the side of the coffee maker. A filter will see you through around 90 days, and you can purchase replacements inexpensively online. The Cuisinart comes with two charcoal water filters to eliminate chlorine and unpleasant flavors from tap water.

Setup was easy, however, with us quickly able to figure out how to assemble and start up the coffee maker.

That said, the stainless-steel exterior is inoffensive, but it does mark easily with fingerprints, which is frustrating. This isn’t the most attractive coffee machine we’ve seen. It can be pushed to the back of your counter, but if you have wall-mounted kitchen cupboards, keep in mind that you’ll require some space above it to flip up the lid and access the water reservoir and grinder. The Cuisinart Grind & Brew Auto is about the size we’d expect for this style of coffee maker, measuring 15 x 8 x 8.1 inches/ 38 x 20.3 x 20.6cm (h x w x d). Aside from the glass carafe, it offers all the same features for a more wallet-friendly price of just $99.95/ £125. However, those who don’t require the thermal carafe should consider the Grind & Brew DGB-625BC. The bean grinding function and thermal carafe make it more expensive than the most basic filter coffee makers around. The Cuisinart Grind & Brew Auto DGB-650BC is available directly from Cuisinart or Amazon in both the UK and the US.
