Cuisinart DGB-30 Custom Grind and Brew Single-Cup Coffee Maker

The Cuisinart DGB-30 Custom Grind and Brew, launched in September 2025, is a pod-free single-cup coffee maker with an integrated stainless steel conical burr grinder that grinds whole beans immediately before each brew. It addresses the trade-off between pod convenience and fresh-ground coffee quality by automating the grind and brew sequence into a single cycle. Six brew size options from 8 to 24 oz provide flexibility from a small morning cup to a large travel mug fill. An Over Ice function brews a concentrated serving sized for pouring directly over ice, reducing dilution without requiring separate cold brew preparation. A sealed 8 oz bean hopper preserves freshness between uses, and a Pre-Ground mode accommodates specialty or pre-ground coffee when desired. The 58 oz removable water reservoir supports multiple cups per fill. At $249.95 the DGB-30 offers an accessible entry point into daily bean-to-cup brewing without the complexity or footprint of a full espresso machine. The included 3-year warranty extends beyond the 1-year standard common in this category. Amazon customers average 3.4 out of 5 stars from 551 reviews, with positive feedback on coffee freshness and grind quality and some critical feedback on grinder reliability at high brew volumes.
