User questions & answers

Question:	Does the Cuisinart dgb900-bc have a hotplate
Answer:	Sorry I do not know where to replace part. Did u inquire at Cuisinart?
Question:	Will this machine use ground coffee as well as beans
Answer:	No timer. I set up in evening and push button as soon as I get in kitchen. It is just a single cup so doesn’t take long.
Question:	I put 12 cups of water in it and make 6 cups of coffee. However, all the water seems to be gone after brewing. Is there a reason for that
Answer:	No, It uses a blade to “grind” the coffee, so it is not a burr grinder.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the power voltage range? can I use it in 220V power plug with adapter
Answer:	Only if it is transformed to 110v. There is probably a version of the appliance designed for 220v.
Question:	My coffee pot broke and I want to buy a replacement. Can I order just the pot
Answer:	YES
Question:	Why has mine stopped grinding beans on auto brew? It did work fine until recently, now water goes through but doesn’t grind. Is grind off on
Answer:	There is a channel in the maker that passes grinds from the grinder to the filter. Instructions say to clean it out from time to time; you might try that - some grinds may have gotten caked and are blocking new grinds’ passage. However, mine did the same thing, and I never was able to get it to work, despite repeated cleanings. Better luck to you!
Question:	Is there a clear removable film over the digital control panel
Answer:	I thought it was at first but have since decided it is not removable.

User questions & answers

Question:	How does this model differ from the older model and are the parts and carafe interchangeable
Answer:	The only difference is that you can adjust the coarseness of the grind. The carafe is interchangeable with the last model.
Question:	Can you brew with ground coffee or do you have to start with whole beans each time
Answer:	The BDC650BSS Grind Control™ features a 'Pre-Ground' mode which bypasses the grinder so that pre-ground coffee can be used within the gold tone or a paper filter.
Question:	Are you really saying to use tap water and not water from our reverse osmosis system in the pot
Answer:	People who are smart about their filtered water will have a remineralizer on their RO system. I will openly laugh at anyone who says to use tap water for coffee - I live in LA, that's a great way to end up with chlorine/sewage tasting coffee. Spring water, or filtered water that still has mineral content, is preferable to "zero water" But anyone who says you can make great coffee with tap water... Well, they must have nice tap water.
Question:	How does one change the display from ml to oz? single cup brewing is listed in ml. tia
Answer:	For the Breville BDC650BSS Grind Control, switch from milliliters to ounces by simply pressing and holding the 2 middle button knobs, CUP and STRENGTH, this will switch the default setting to the appropriate selection between ounces and milliliters.

The Breville Grind Control, Silver

Brew any size, without compromise on taste

Every roast grinds differently. Brazilian or Columbian, light or dark, fresh or

Breville's Grind Control is the first household coffee maker with an adjustable grinder and calibration function that not only allows you to grind before you brew, you can also customize the grind size and coffee volume to suit your taste.

Ground coffee should be brewed within a minute of grinding as the volatile aromatics begin to dissipate almost immediately once ground. Therefore the built in grinder allows you to capture freshness and essential oils from the coffee beans by grinding right before you brew. The machined stainless steel burrs deliver consistent ground particle sizes for a more balanced, full flavored cup.

Hamilton Beach Programmable Grind and Brew Coffee Maker

The Hamilton Beach Programmable Grind and Brew Coffee Maker features a unique built-in grinding chamber that lets you brew coffee using whole coffee beans. The grinding chamber is automatically self-rinsing to prevent clogs and keep parts clean. That means you’ll enjoy fresher, more flavorful coffee, without the extra steps of using and cleaning a separate coffee grinder.

Flavorful Coffee, Brewed Two Ways

In addition to brewing pre-ground coffee, you can now brew with whole beans. A built-in grinding chamber will ready the beans for brewing without the need for a separate coffee grinder. Whichever way you choose, you can enjoy a custom cup thanks to the bold, regular, and 1- 4 cup brewing options.

Grind and Brew Coffee Beans in Just One Step

Simply pour whole coffee beans in the grinding chamber and press the start button. The machine will grind the beans first as part of the brewing cycle and distribute them evenly into the brew basket. A smart sensor stops grinding action when the chamber is empty.

Programmable to Fit Your Schedule

The coffee pot’s digital clock is easy to program and you can set your brew time up to 24 hours in advance. With a 2-hour keep warm cycle with automatic shutoff, you won’t have to wonder if you left the pot on.

Easy Cleanup

With each use, the grinding chamber automatically rinses itself for easy care and long-lasting performance. When it’s time for a deeper clean, the coffee maker will remind you to run a descaling cycle.

The included permanent, gold-tone filter eliminates the need for paper filters and keeps staining at a minimum.

User questions & answers

Question:	In the manual, I can't see any reference to paper filters. Can I use a paper filter instead of the gold mesh filter that comes with the machine
Answer:	I've tried it and it works and I've also tried putting the paper filter in the gold plated mesh filter too. You might as well leave the gold plated mesh in place just in case the paper tears... Although using the white paper filters may expose you to very small amounts of toxin that potentially is residual from the bleaching process to make those filter papers white... you might alternatively use the "natural" brown colored filters to avoid possible dioxin exposure...Another minor point about using paper filters is that it will slightly slow down the liquid flow thru the filter area which may or may not cause an issue... I've never used paper long enough to know if there is a problem with this...
Question:	Is the water tank plastic of stainless on this? If its plastic, does anyone know of a coffee maker that is made of stainless
Answer:	The water tank is not exposed to heat and only holds the water for a few minutes. I have news for you, nobody makes a metal water tank. Even my $300 Technivorn MoccaMaster has a plastic water reservoir.
Question:	Are the glass and thermal carafe usable in the same machine
Answer:	Yes, as long as you are talking the same model (glass for $155 or thermal for $180), they ARE compatible. I know this with certainty, as i just replaced my 5 year old model (glass) with same thing (thermal) and i checked to see if the glass carafe fit.
Question:	Does this coffee maker allow you to brew, say 2 cups, when the water reservoir and bean bin are full? Or do you have to fill both to match the number
Answer:	The grinder will run for a variable period of time depending on the number of cups you set (and Capresso's opinion of how much ground coffee that requires) but the boiler will run until there is no more water in the reservoir. Therefore you can fill the bean hopper without any specific measure and refill when it gets low but you need to put the specific amount of water you want to end up in the pot in the reservoir each time you brew. In this way you can brew stronger coffee, for example set the indicator to 10 cups but only put 8 cups of water in the reservoir, or vice versa for weaker coffee. However, many reviewers note that the machine only heats the water to the "ideal" brewing temperature if you set it for 10 cups.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do I need to buy any other thing besides the coffee beans to use this machine well? For example, "Stainless Steel Frothing Pitcher
Answer:	I ran it for longer than 10 minutes. I had no problem.
Question:	What are the significant improvements of the 870 over the 860 Express besides hot water and 1600W
Answer:	Not loud at all. Maybe a bit more than the microwave.
Question:	Will the machine fit on top of this protective mat? I'm not sure of the dimensions. http://amzn.to/2l8g4zZ
Answer:	11 libras
Question:	I'll be using this mainly for long black/americanos. Any tips or downsides to getting the most brewed liquid? I love a big, hearty mug of joe
Answer:	I would say not very well. I have not tried it on pepperoni but I tried to slice a country ham very thin and it ripped it to shreds. It is very difficult to get a thin clean slice.

The Barista Express by Breville, BES870XL

Create great tasting espresso in less than a minute. The Barista Express allows you to grind the beans right before extraction, and its interchangeable filters and a choice of automatic or manual operation ensure authentic cafe style results in no time at all.

The 4 keys formula for third wave specialty coffee at home:

1. Rich, full flavor

Full-bodied coffee with rich and complex flavors is created using the right dose of 19-22g of freshly ground beans. This dose allows the coffee to fully express the incredible aroma, intense flavors and distinctive character of the coffee, for a true cafe quality result. Anything less than the optimal dose results in a weak and watery taste experience.

2. Perfectly balanced taste

Sweet, delicious and nuanced flavor notes begin with precise control over water temperature. Digital temperature control (PID) technology precisely controls water temperature for a perfectly balanced coffee extraction, giving you the control and consistency for delicious tasting coffee every time.

3. Irresistible body

An opulent, creamy and caramel-colored espresso starts with low pressure pre-infusion that soaks the grinds, allowing water to pass evenly through the coffee during the high pressure (9 bar) extraction process, delivered via our 15 bar Italian pump. This results in a rich, sweet and viscous espresso.

4. Silky, velvety mouthfeel

Savor the silky taste and velvety mouthfeel of true microfoam milk. The milk is steamed with pressure that creates thousands of tiny bubbles, enhancing flavor and mouthfeel, while the temperature brings out the milk’s sweetness, exciting your taste buds, for a harmonious blend of rich, sweet milk and syrupy, golden espresso.

Dose-Control Grinding

Integrated conical burr grinder grinds on-demand to deliver the right amount of freshly ground coffee directly into the portafilter for your preferred taste with any roast of bean.

Grind Size Dial

Simple and intuitive, giving you control over the grind size no matter what type of bean you're grinding.

Precise Espresso Extraction

Digital temperature control delivers water at precisely the right temperature, ensuring optimal espresso extraction.

Micro-Foam Milk Texturing

The steam wand performance allows you to hand texture micro-foam milk that enhances flavor and enables creation of latte art.

Product description

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you easily access the water tank for refill without having to move the whole unit? Is the access from the side or back
Answer:	The pad, itself, is hard with a leather covering. The wrist pad is small and not as chushy as a gel type wrist pad which was what is was expecting... but it's okay for a mouse pad.
Question:	Why is there a Prop 65 warning on this product? What part of the machine does the warning pertain to
Answer:	Mouse pad is rigid enough to use it on soft surface like a bed or sofa.
Question:	How often do you need to clean the grounds between the grinder and the filter? Does it ever plug
Answer:	A 10-year-old will probably be too big for this kart. My 6-year-old barely fits.
Question:	Where is it made? What parts are plastic
Answer:	It is a 6 volt battery.
