This was the fifth Automatic Grind and Brew 10 Cup Thermal Coffee maker I have purchased. Very happy with the brewing and coffee taste of freshly ground coffee beans.
The brewer is fine, but the grinder makes a mess. At best, it spews a few coffee grinds around the top and you have to clean them up. At worst, the top gets loose and grinds get in the water resevoir. Definitely poor engineering. Buy a separate grinder and a standard brewer instead. Mine was a gift, but I would not pay for this.
Excellent and reliable grind and brew coffeemaker!

This our 3rd grind and brew coffee maker from Cuisinart. They all have been great appliances to own, reliable and produce excellent coffee and they last for a long time. The current version is the best so far! Easier to clean, better design, and still makes excellent freshly ground coffee.
Very disappointed in purchase. 1. The 10 cup machine- the bean holder compartment only holds enough beans for 7-8 cups 2. The bean holder compartment becomes damp & must be thoroughly cleaned & dried before another pot can be made
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this coffee maker, when it grinds the beans, you can't beat the smell. I used to work the midnight shift, and my girlfriend up at 5:00 am and make the coffee, and when I got up at 2:00 pm and have coffee and it was still smoking hot! crazy!
This is our third replacement after many years of service We have tried others but this model meets all our requirements and brews the most perfect coffee.
The bean grinder is quite loud, so much so my wife wants to use ground beans only. If you unplug the unit, you need to reprogram it. The grinder needs to be in place, otherwise the unit beeps. Makes OK coffee.
So convenient to have coffee ready in the morning!

We love our new coffee maker! It’s so nice to program it the night before and have it grind the beans (or you can use ground coffee) and make the coffee for you by morning, at the time you’ve programmed it for.
