I believe this coffee maker will last a long time. The design is better than my older coffee maker. It grinds and brews delicious fresh coffee for us daily! I love the thermal carafe!
Bought this coffee maker in 2023. It makes ok coffee and the built in grinder is convenient. A couple months ago the clock started jumping to random times which made the program feature useless. Recently the buttons have stopped responding and the clock is constantly counting up making it unusable. It doesn't make good enough coffee for replacing it every two years to be worth it. This has really turned me off buying Cuisinart in the future.

Excellent product, I purchased my first Automatic Grind & Brew 20 years ago. I had to get a new one because the grinder stopped working, however after 20 years I'm ok with that!!! I have left coffee in the carafe overnight and in the am it is still warm! The new model has a better look than the one I purchased. I do not hesitate to recommend this coffee maker to anyone, in-fact I have, and they are just as pleased! Great price too! Thumbs up to all Cuisinart products, I own several!
This model makes excellent coffee but the grinder is so loud that it wakes up the entire family. The grinder still runs long after the beans have been ground.
Works great. I was afraid the grinder would wake me on the 2nd floor (kitchen on 1st floor) but it doesn't. Great coffee. People complain about the cleaning but it takes 45 seconds. Very happy with purchase.
