Purchased this as a replacement for Cuisinart's 12 cup Grind & Brew thermal coffeemaker. We loved those, actually purchased two over the years. So far, this is fine, but did like the larger bean hopper on the 12 cup. And definitely wanted the thermal, not glass, carafe. Wasn't available locally.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Grind and Brew! This is our 4th(?) Cuisinart Grind & Brew and decided this time to purchase a model with the thermal carafe. The 3-piece brew basket is now 2 pieces; the cover and the brew basket holder are now 1 hinged piece. I'm cleaning the same number of pieces so the daily cleaning time is the same. Because a carafe heating element is no longer needed, I've found keeping that bottom plate clean is easier much easier because coffee drips and grounds no longer drip onto/burn onto that plate. The thermal carafe keeps the fresh-brewed coffee hot for at least 2-3 hours. We've had our new Grind & Brew for several weeks and - as with all of our other Cuisinart coffeemakers and kitchen items - we are very pleased with it's quality and performance.

Replaced an older one we had for years. Always turns out a good pot of coffee.

The grinding is very loud and prolonged, and four parts require washing immediately after the coffee is done, which is annoying when one just wants a quick cup of coffee. If the grinder, it's lid, the basket, and the basket holder aren't cleaned immediately, they are difficult to clean later.
The unit is complicated to use the first time for others who are unfamiliar with it, too. I wouldn't have bought this machine if I had known of all of the above.

Howdy coffee lovers!
This was my third Cuisinart whole bean grinding coffee maker but the first 10 cup with stainless steel carafe. This coffee maker is similar in function to the other Cuisinart's so figuring how to set it up was no problem. The stainless steel carafe has the best pouring spout of any of my previous glass carafe's...but that is where my praises end. The opening is too small to get my average sized guy hand in to clean. The coffee maker does not seem to have a warming element for the coffee after it is made and in my opinion the carafe does not keep the coffee warm enough, The SS carafe's promise to keep the coffee pipping hot was the ONLY reason I bought this model. I did understand that this model only makes 10 cups where the glass carafe's models with the warming element can make 12 cups. On this model, someone decided the lid for the copper filter needed to be attached to the filter reservoir by a hinge. WHY??? The filter lid is now not removable making it awkward to clean, rinse and dry, all things I do every day. As with all of the other bean grinding Cuisinart coffee makers I have owned, the coffee bean grinding lid is made of "clear" plastic...well, at least for the first week or so it is clear. The ground coffee dust mixed with the steam as the coffee is being brewed turns the lid a deep, rich caramel color in time. As mentioned above, I clean, rinse and dry everything daily and mine is already changing colors after only a couple of weeks use. What am I doing wrong? My recommendation, there no need to spend extra money for the model with the 10 cup stainless steel carafe...stick with the 12 cup glass carafe model with the warming element...it is easier to clean...keeps the coffee hotter longer...and you have the option of two additional cups of delicious coffee!
