How do I clean the grinder of my Cuisinart DGB-2?

To clean the grinder, first unplug the coffee maker. Remove the bean hopper lid and use a dry brush to sweep out any coffee grounds. Follow up by wiping the area with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling.

Why is my Cuisinart DGB-2 not brewing coffee?

If your coffee maker is not brewing, check that it is plugged in and the water reservoir is filled. Ensure the carafe is properly positioned and the filter basket is seated correctly. If issues persist, consult the user manual for troubleshooting steps.

How often should I descale my Cuisinart DGB-2?

To adjust the coffee strength, you can change the amount of coffee beans or pre-ground coffee used. The machine itself does not have a strength adjustment setting, so this must be done manually.
