Customer Reviews for Cuisinart - Automatic Grind & Brew 10-Cup Thermal Coffeemaker - Black & Stainless

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!

We are on our 3rd Cuisinart auto grind in the past 10 years. We love them the new one is great cause it even tells us when it needs to be cleaned.

I'm very disappointed in the coffee maker.
*You cannot brew enough beans to make a strong pot of coffee.
*Water condenses in the grinder and on the lid of the grinder.
*My previous coffee maker allowed me to put enough beans into the grinder cup for several pots of coffee, and water never condensed inside the grinder.
I regret buying this coffeemaker.

This is the 3rd one I have owned. Love the ability to select grind on/off. Makes a great cup of coffee either way. I would have given it 5 stars but sometimes the lid on the carafe leaks while pouring.

This is a great coffee maker. I had an older model that I thought had a problem so I purchased this new one. The new one is completely re-designed. The bean grinder is so much better. The old one would get clogged up and get an error and I would have to take it outside and use my compressor to clean it out. No chance of that happening with the new one because you clean it after each use.
Love, love, love, this coffee maker. Your designers have out-done themselves. Incidentally, the old one still works and we now use it in the RV.

Purchased this to replace my previous Cuisinart which finally gave out after years of reliable use. I love the stainless steel carafe which keeps the coffee hot once the coffee pot turns off automatically. Plus, you don't have to worry about breaking the pot if you accidentally bang it against something.
I would recommend this to a friend!
