Cuisinart® Launches Custom Grind & Brew™ Single-Cup Coffee Maker: A Pod-Free, Bean-to-Cup Breakthrough for Coffee Lovers

New machine disrupts the single-serve category with hotter, fresher coffee and sustainable convenience

STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for National Coffee Day, Cuisinart^®, a leader in kitchen innovation for more than 50 years, is reimagining the at-home coffee experience with a focus on fresh-ground flavor and sustainability. The Custom Grind & Brew™ Single-Cup Coffee Maker (DGB-30) meets the growing demand for homemade café-quality coffee.

Coffee culture is thriving, with two-thirds¹ of American adults drinking coffee daily and more than 70 percent² choosing to brew at home as a cost-savvy alternative. The Custom Grind & Brew taps directly into this trend with its all-in-one, bean-to-cup design, eliminating the need for a separate grinder or expensive disposable pods. Serious coffee drinkers get the flavor and freshness they crave, while saving an average of over $135 per year compared to leading pod‑based systems³, based on two cups per day.

"Cuisinart has a long history of bringing innovation into America's kitchens, and the Custom Grind & Brew continues that legacy," said Jennifer Stock, Senior Director, Product Management at Cuisinart. "We wanted to deliver a machine that answered the needs of modern consumers, as more households are embracing barista-quality brewing. The DGB-30 blends convenience, sustainability, and performance in a way that redefines what single-serve coffee can be."

Features Designed with Coffee Lovers in Mind:
Fresher, Richer Flavor

• Premium built-in stainless steel conical burr grinder ensures a consistent grind and optimal extraction.
• Offers strength selection for customization in each cup - from mild to bold.

Hot Coffee and Iced Coffee Drinks Unite

• Brews at a higher temperature than pod-based systems for hotter coffee with a fresh, rich taste and flavor that you can only get from a machine that grinds the beans in real time.
• Meets the ever-growing demand for iced coffee with an over ice function that brews strong coffee that holds its flavor even when chilled.

Convenient for Every Lifestyle

• Six brew sizes (8–24 oz.) to conveniently customize caffeine intake.
• A removable drip tray accommodates tall travel mugs for on-the-go caffeination.
• Can use both whole beans or pre-ground beans to fit anyone's preference.
• One multifunctional unit eliminating the need for a separate grinder.

Sustainable & Smart Value

• Eliminates single-use pod waste for an eco-friendlier routine.
• Backed by a three-year limited warranty, triple the industry standard.
• Designed to deliver long-term savings compared to pod systems.
