I’ve had a Cuisinart grind and brew for about 20 years. When it finally had problems, I immediately purchased another. Coffee comes out so fresh and delicious! Can’t beat it! I also love the thermal carafe which keeps coffee hot without burning it
Love the grind feature and the programming options. I thought I’d prefer the insulated carafe but it’s heavy and pouring is awkward. It also does not keep the coffee hot enough for my liking.
I bought this grind and brew coffee maker to replace an aging cuisinart regular coffee maker. The new coffee maker does not grind the coffee beans fine enough to get good extraction from the coffee and the grind is not adjustable. I have to use double the amount of coffee beans to get a strong enough brew. I am bypassing the grinder and grinding my own beans to get a finer grind. Not happy that I bought a more expensive machine with grinder but still have to grind the beans myself to get a good cup of coffee
