Cuisinart DGB-650BC F.A.Q.

How do I clean the Cuisinart DGB-650BC's grinder?

To clean the grinder, first ensure the coffee maker is unplugged. Remove the bean hopper lid, and then remove any beans. Use a dry brush to sweep out any grounds and residue. The grinder assembly can be taken apart for a more thorough cleaning. Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water and dry them completely before reassembly.

Why is my Cuisinart DGB-650BC not brewing the full amount of coffee?

Ensure the water reservoir is filled to the desired level and that the coffee grounds are not packed too tightly. Check the filter basket for any blockages and clean as necessary. If the problem persists, descale the machine to remove any mineral buildup that might be affecting water flow.

What type of coffee beans should I use with the Cuisinart DGB-650BC?

Use medium roast coffee beans for the best performance. Avoid oily or flavored beans, as they can clog the grinder and impact the machine's performance.

How often should I descale the Cuisinart DGB-650BC?

Descale your Cuisinart DGB-650BC every 3-6 months, depending on your water hardness and frequency of use. Use a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar, running it through a brewing cycle without coffee grounds. Follow up with two cycles of clean water to rinse the system.

Why does my Cuisinart DGB-650BC keep shutting off mid-brew?

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and check that the outlet is working. Verify that the lid and all parts are properly assembled, as misalignment can interrupt the brewing cycle. If the issue persists, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting or contact customer support.

Can I use pre-ground coffee with the Cuisinart DGB-650BC?

Yes, you can use pre-ground coffee by bypassing the grinder. Simply turn off the grind function and place your pre-ground coffee directly into the filter basket.

What is the best way to store my coffee beans for use with the DGB-650BC?

Store your coffee beans in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness. Avoid storing beans in the refrigerator or freezer, as moisture can affect their quality.

How do I program the auto-brew feature on the Cuisinart DGB-650BC?

To program the auto-brew feature, set the current time first. Then press the 'Program' button and use the hour and minute buttons to set your desired brew start time. Ensure the 'Auto-On' indicator is lit.

Why is my coffee tasting weak from the Cuisinart DGB-650BC?

Ensure you are using the correct coffee-to-water ratio. Check that the grind size is appropriate; too coarse a grind can lead to weaker coffee. Also, ensure the machine is properly cleaned and descaled to avoid any flavor issues.

What should I do if the grinder is making unusual noises?

Turn off and unplug the machine immediately. Remove any beans and clean the grinder thoroughly. Check for any foreign objects in the grinder. If the noise persists, consult the user manual or contact Cuisinart customer support.
