I love the Grind and Brew Plus. The only thing I would like to see improved is the grinder gets moisture in it as well as the shoot and it gets clogged up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Grinder is useless and require extra steps to make the coffee. A redesign is necessary --

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it. It is super loud but stranger is how long is grinds, even for four cups. It sounds as if it's a running overloaded aggressive motor! The other con is the cleanup - everyday I have to clean out the grinds AND where the beans grind and the coffee pot. The pro is you can have ground, beans and a one cup!!

Quality! I am pleased with this purchase. It’s bigger than I would prefer but it does everything and so it’s a small sacrifice to pay. The grinder mechanism is loud but I don’t mind the 4am wake up call because I know my coffee awaits!

Overall, I like the unit. It is nice to have a 2-in-1 unit - a coffee maker when we want to make a whole pot on the weekends, and a single serve for workday mornings. The grinder is built in so no need to have a separate grinder in your cabinet or on your countertop. However, I feel like there are a few improvements that could be made to the unit that would be very convenient. I would prefer the display to be backlit so that I could see it without the lights on in the kitchen. The unit is tall, and the water and grinder access is on the top, so if you have it under a standard mounted wall cabinet, it would need to be pulled out so that you can open the lids to refill water and coffee beans. We had to relocate ours to a different area so that we could open the lids fully. Also, the water reservoir is a 40 oz capacity which is small for 2 people who drink a couple of cups a day. Plus side is that you always have fresh water because you are refilling it frequently! It is difficult to see how full the single serve reservoir is so we have overflowed it a couple of times. There is a hole near the top of the reservoir and when you overfill it, it spills out of there. Kinda messy. Again, if the side was clear, you could fill it without overflowing it. It seems to work with most pods, but we have found a less common brand of pod that absolutely doesn't work with it. Punches a big hole in the pod and water and grounds leak out EVERYWHERE. Also, on the coffee maker, there are no grind adjustments (coarser or finer) so I assume it was designed to grind for that particular filter style and no need to adjust. Overall we like the unit but I think with some improvements to it, we would LOVE it.
