This is our third Grind and brew in 25 years! We love to wake up on the weekends and have freshly ground coffee with our favorite beans. You can also use it with grind off if you have ground coffee. We also bought one for each of our sons when they moved out. Coffee is life!!!
You changed the design of the drip part of the coffee maker which makes it more cumbersome to wash and empty the grounds. I am on my 5 th coffee maker of this style .. I love the grind and brew into a thermal pot .
The carafe is poorly designed. The small inside opening makes cleaning difficult, and makes pouring difficult and inefficient.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We appreciate your feedback on the Automatic Grind & Brew 10-Cup Coffeemaker and are sorry to hear the carafe design has not met your expectations. For improved cleaning and pouring, we recommend rinsing immediately after use and using a narrow bottle brush to better reach the interior, as well as pouring slowly at a slight angle to help control flow. Your comments about the opening and usability are valuable and will be shared with our product team. Thank you, as your feedback helps us improve future models.
I highly recommend this wonderful and easy to use appliance to everyone who loves fresh coffee. Programming and cleaning are a snap and the finished product tastes coffee house fresh.
I have always loved the grind and brew makers. With this one, I feel the coffee is hotter which is great!. But boy is it LOUD. Much louder than previous models but I can live with it for the great tasting coffee!
