The Cuisinart DGB-1400BCPC is a fully programmable 12-cup automatic coffee maker with a built-in burr grinder that grinds beans fresh before each brew for superior flavor. This countertop appliance combines grinding and brewing in one machine, featuring a professional-style burr grinder that maintains coffee bean integrity for richer, fresher-tasting coffee compared to blade grinders.

The coffee maker includes a 12-cup glass carafe with an 8-ounce bean hopper that holds up to half a pound of whole beans with a sealed lid to preserve freshness. The programmable features include 24-hour advance brewing, adjustable brew strength selector with three options (mild, medium, or strong), and grind control that allows you to program the amount of coffee to grind from 2 to 12 cups. The convenient Brew Pause feature lets you pour a cup before the brewing cycle completes, and the grind-off option allows you to use pre-ground coffee when desired.

Additional features include a gold-tone commercial-style permanent filter and charcoal water filter that removes impurities for better-tasting coffee. The unit offers adjustable auto-shutoff ranging from 0 to 4 hours and a 2 to 4 cup feature for smaller batch brewing. Dimensions are approximately 10.67 inches by 8.44 inches by 16.25 inches, making it suitable for most kitchen countertops.
