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.
I am very happy with my grind and brew coffeemaker. It makes very good coffee and is easy to clean. The coffee stays hot in the carafe for over 3 hours.
Do not recommend buying this. The grinder keeps grinding beans after the beans are gone and it’s gonna blow the motor. The water just flows through and the coffee grounds aren’t even wet. I called to complain, but there’s nothing they can do for me. Disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second Grind & Brew that we’ve owned. The prior one lasted for 8 years. A couple of things I don’t care for are the longer length since I can’t pull it out from under the kitchen cabinet and open the lid. I have to turn it sideways to open the lid completely. The second thing is the coffee ground filter holder, the new version has a non- removable lid which makes it more difficult to wash. I do love the stylish new look and the grinders is quieter than the old one.
