Cuisinart DCB-10P1 Automatic Cold Brew Coffeemaker with 7-Cup Glass Carafe Silver and Black

This machine is brilliant! I got it because my husband and I go through at least 2 bottles of cold brew each week, especially in the summer months. We were trying to keep up with making our own, but between the prep and time it would take, we eventually returned to just buying it prepared. This was actually a treasure truck deal that I decided to try with absolutely no regrets at this point. I actually did not have high expectations as the prepared cold brew brand we liked was pretty good (Stok), but figured it couldn’t hurt. We’ve had this machine for about 3 months now and it works like a dream. It’s very easy to use, (we didn’t even really read the instructions), and very easy to clean. The most significant reason we love it is the flavor of having freshly made cold brew. We prefer either the whole bean Carribou Coffee or Kona Coffees and generally use the “Bold” coffee strength. The machine essentially spins longer for a stronger brew selection and less long for a milder flavor. We also tried using the ground version of these coffees but the flavor profile was much weaker and no where near as good. For the pros I would say: *Easy to use *Easy to clean *Decreases cold brew prep time from 24-48 hours to 1 hour or less *Reasonably priced (occasionally goes on sale too) *Makes 7 cups of cold brew (when you fill 1 cup past the last line) this is because some of the water is absorbed by the beans. *Doesn’t take up much counter space *Has 3 flavor profiles (mild, med, bold) spinning less time (mild) to longer (bold) *More cost effective to prepare at home *(Opinion) better tasting cold brew when fresh The cons: *This machine isn’t super loud but it’s not quiet either, the noise made when spinning is definitely the main detractor for this product. *The machine takes about 45 minutes to make a batch of cold brew on the Bold setting, less for milder settings. But still much less than 24+ hours. Overall we are really happy with this machine and the money we are saving coupled with the flavor profile of having it fresh. I would and have definitely recommended to friends, coworkers and family. Read more

I have been making my own cold brew coffee at home for years now and to be quite honest it's always been somewhat of a chore. I could never find a decent ready made cold coffee option anywhere (other than buying a Trenta from Starbucks every couple of days but we all know how quickly expensive that can get). And most of the cold brew coffees out there have this very acidy metal taste like your sucking on a mouthful of nickels (sorry but true). This prompted me to make my own batch, mostly for better flavor. Most decent cold brew methods take 12-24 hours for the process. And clean up is quite the endeavor. But for a great tasting and bold flavored cup of cold joe, it was worth the task. After several years I started to think that there had to be something out there that speeded up the process without sacrificing on flavor. I went through several concoctions, some that almost fit the bill, and some that were just a waste of time. And then this glimmer of hope found it's way into my life and Amazon notifications. I jumped on the offer and crossed my fingers one more time in hopes of finding the right cold coffee companion. I thought Cuisineart is pretty top notch, maybe they got it right. After the package delivered and I went through the set up process and finally brewed my first cold coffee pitcher on a late mid week night not really planning to drink my first cup until the next morning. Watching the process was pretty awesome. After years of making my own brew I watched this maker hit all of the key elements of getting all of the flavor out of coffee. The coffee grounds were always submersed in the cold water (my pet peeve about brewers not doingnthis). The coffee holder spins, yes SPINS, while brewing to move the grounds around. There are multiple options for brew strength (I am always a solid bold). And when completed you flip a lever and the coffee drains right into your serving pitcher. And SPINS one more time to release all of the coffee! Sorry I am fascinated by this thing. Clean up was a breeze compared to my old methods. And into the fridge my practically first born child went. Finally on the following morning I mustered up the courage to make my first cup (okay I was tossing and turning all night like the night before Christmas). I noticed right away that the color was dark. To me a good indicator of a bold brew. I made my regular mix with half & half and sugar and just went for it without sipping it straight to see if it was legit. Wow. Just wow. Finally. I found it. If you appreciate a good solid well flavored cup of cold coffee with minimal brewing time and clean up, this brewer is for you. If you had the patience to read this whole review (which I hardly do unless I am passionate enough about something to share with the world) take one more minute to click "Add to Cart" and let your cold coffee dreams take flight.

As someone who suffers from acid reflux, I was hesitant to drink more coffee. But after purchasing the Cuisinart DCB-10 Automatic Cold Brew Coffeemaker in 2020, I have to say, it has completely changed my coffee-drinking experience. Gone are the days of chugging down antacids with my morning cup of joe. The Cuisinart DCB-10 produces a smooth, low-acid cold brew that is easy on the stomach and still packs a flavorful punch. And with its easy-to-use design and automatic shut-off feature, I can set it and forget it, knowing that my cold brew will be ready and waiting for me after my morning shower. One of the drawbacks of the Coffeemaker is that it can be a bit of a pain to clean. The grounds can be difficult to dump out, so I've taken to just dumping them in the sink and rinsing them down the drain. The coffee filter is also a bit of a hassle to clean, so I've found it easiest to just toss it in the dish washer with the rest of my dishes. While a slight annoyance, it's still worth it. So if you're like me and have struggled to find a coffee option that won't leave you with heartburn, give the Cuisinart DCB-10 a try. You won't be disappointed. Read more
