Very pleased. This is our 3rd Cuisinart Grind & Brew. Had the 1st one for years. Our 2nd one is a few years old and still works. Only replaced it because we wanted the one with the built-in Kuerig. Great option.

Overall, the grind and brew is a very good coffee maker, and makes delicious coffee. I have a couple of things that I wish were improved upon. It is a lot of work to clean all of the parts between brewings. But I guess that might be unavoidable.
Also, if you put even the smallest amount of extra water in the reservoir on the single serve side, it will leak all over the counter. Since the reservoir is black, it’s pretty difficult to see the water level, especially if the coffee maker is under a counter, which most of them are.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I like my new Cuisinart grind and brew center however I would suggest a few small changes.
1. It is not designed to use on a countertop that has a cabinet above it. 2. Other brands of the refillable k-cups will not work in this unit, you must order specialty designed ones from Cuisinart. 3. There is no window on the single brew side in order to see how much water is in the unit.
I loved my previous Cuisinart coffee maker with the two sides but it did not have k-cup option and I loved my Keurig duo. I’m not super impressed with this one, however, the grind and brew feature is a very nice addition.

I absolutely love the Grind and Brew. Fresh coffee in every pot and every cup. The aroma wakes me from my slumber to get ready for my day. I will never buy another brand.

This is a very good dual purpose machine especially at this price. This was bought to replace a stand alone Cuisinart 12 cup machine with a bean hopper. We love the versatility of a full carafe or a single cup however where this machine falls short is in the 12 cup carafe which we use all the time. The older machine held 2 - 4 lbs of fresh beans and grinded those beans with a grinder which was perfectly done every time. This machine only holds a cup of beans per pot and uses a blade to cut the beans so not only do you have alot more to clean out before every pot of coffee but because the blade type cutter does not grind the beans as well the coffee flavor is not as consistent. Had we know this prior to purchasing this machine we would not have gotten it. Most people who have not used a grinder at all would probably not know the difference. We have had a better Cuisinart machine before this and so we are used to that very rich coffee flavor. I will add that the reason our old machine went out was due to consistent use and the the grinder section went bad as it was unserviceable. I see that Cuisinart tried to correct this by making the blade grinder removable and cleanable. Very nice on their part to at least recognize a past problem and try to fix it. Now what they need to is make a serviceable or removable true grinder rather than bade type system as it is much better at making very good coffee.

I bought this to replace our old grind n brew and a Keurig. I wanted only one machine, and didn't want to give up my freshly ground beans. I love this coffee maker more than I thought I would. It's on the taller side, but fits nicely in our kitchen.
