The purchase of the grind and brew coffee maker is our third or fourth one in almost 30 years! Hopefully that speaks for itself, otherwise we wouldn’t replace our coffee maker, with the same exact machine, albeit a bit improved. This new one sits on our nightstand and it is actually a bit quieter than the older one and the clock is easier to read with the lights out.
I love this coffeemaker. It is very easy to clean compared to my older Cuisinart and the coffee is hotter. Just wash out the four removable parts each day and your coffee will taste fresh. The grinder is very loud but effective.
This is my second Grind & Brew Cuisinart and I love the improvements. My last Cuisinart was well over 10 years old and was still working although the bottom of the unit was starting to rust.
We were very excited about our Christmas gift of a coffee maker. We tried many things - including troubleshooting videos online as well as in the manual - but regardless of what we did, we never got the proper number of cups of coffee compared to the number of cups we filled in the reservoir. For example, we would put 6 cups in the reservoir and would get about 2 cups out of weak coffee. We tried about five pots unsuccessfully before we decided to ultimately return.
I love my new grind and brew. I did figure out why people were complaining in other reviews about the grinder getting clogged! If you don’t use the grinder, condensation from the brew will build up in the grinder. When you use it the next time to grind, you must first dry it out, otherwise it will clog! Otherwise perfect brews. Love the measuring spoon that came with it.
