Love the brew and grind and option to use pre ground coffee. Quick to brew a pot of hot coffee. Hot coffee is a must for me. I really like the metal carafe. I have broken more than one glass carafe. No more broken glass for me. Great price. Works great. Very satisfied.
Machine grinding is noisy. In addition, I have noticed that cleaning is requires daily. I would prefer a larger bean grinding capacity to eliminate adding bean for each individual grind and brew cup. I suspect that the high grinding blade RPM contributes to the inadequate cleaning.
Loving our Cuisinart Auto Grind Coffeemaker! We get the strength of coffee we want, the number of cups we want and our coffee is ground fresh before every pot. It's our second Cuisinart. Our first lasted 10 years before the grinder wouldn't stop grinding and there was no way to fix it. This one is a big improvement over the first one.
So I have been using this coffee maker for over 25 years. Do the upgrades I can not say were so needed. With a thermal container and no hot plate keep coffee for over 4 hours. Love this coffeemaker
Easy to program, easy to clean and use! Looks nice and makes a great cup of coffee. My only complaint is I don’t love the pot. The ledge on the inside makes it difficult to fill and pour from.
