I like the geind and brew coffee. But the grind button should be automatically set to off. The water fill should have more separation between the grinder. If you accidentally get water in the grinder. You have to remove it and dry it out.
Excellent machine with versatility to make K-cups, a regular pot of coffee and can grind the coffee beans. Nothing like the smell of fresh ground coffee.
This is exactly what we need. We typically brew 8 cups a day but sometimes we need more. The coffee maker allows us to make individual cups after then.
We purchased our Grind & Brew Plus to replace a 15 year-old Grind and Brew whose grinder parts were wearing out and becoming difficult to remove for daily cleaning. We figured if this one lasts as long, it will be worth it! We were pleased to find that our 10 cup thermal carafe from our 15 year-old G&B fit out new G&B+. We just had to adjust down the amount of water in the reservoir to 10 cups. My only complaint about the Plus is how loud the grinder is. Even louder than the previous model we owned. Those large panels on top and sides really resonate the sound. Maybe future designers can get input from sound engineers to muffle a little. Still, it makes a fine pot of coffee and we love the convenience of the cup-at-a-time K-cups. BTW, we always use water from a Zero Filter pitcher. Cuisinart should consider partnering with Zero Filters on a promotion.
