I bought this model to replace my old Grind and Brew. The carafe leaked, the coffee was not hot enough, and the machine beeped that the coffee was made before it was. I was very disappointed and returned it to the store.

the look of the unit is very nice. however, it's made for 4-10 cups, why have a 2 cup indicator for water on the side when there isn't a 2 cup indicated on the grind control? the water indicator is on the side in the back and unless you are 6 feet not so easy to see when pouring water. the water container is in the back and narrow and spillage is very easy to do. the carafe does not have any indicator on how much water you have put into it (it's not see through) so pouring a whole carafe isn't always going to fill it up. in addition, if you don't have the lid on perfect (it's black on black & hard to see sometimes), you end up spilling coffee on the counter. plus if you only want say 6 or 8 cups of coffee, it's hard to gauge and you can waste water if you put too much in trying to get it to the desired cups. i'm returning and very disappointed for the amount of $$ this unit is.

This machine won't keep an accurate time. It speeds up over time making the timer function useless. The entire reason we purchased this was to be able to wake up to freshly ground brewed coffee and that's impossible with the defective clock.

I've owned so many Cuisinart products and enjoyed all of them. This missed your mark. First you must be a tall person or have a lower than standard counter in order to fill the water. Same is true to add beans. Removing the cover of the carafe appeared simple, but even a 6'4" firefighter found it to be difficult. It's difficult to fill out this form.

It’s difficult to clean the hopper as it isn’t removable. For reasons that escape me, the carafe leaks when coffee is poured. I find it I excusable that cuisinart can’t make a carafe that pours without spilling.

We love this coffee maker! We had the prior model and you had to clean the bean reservoir weekly. We've had this for a few months and it still does not need to be cleaned!! The only drawback is that it is a 10 cup vs. 12 cup. We love our coffee.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Grind uses more coffee than previous 12 cup model. It makes the coffee stronger than what you would except of a 6 cup grind. Craft also has a tendency to leak when you pour.
