I previously owned a grind and brew that had seen better days so I purchased the new model that included the single cup brew option. The single cup brew works fine and isa convenient option. I am curious why Cuisinart decided to change from the previous design for the grind and brew. First, the receptacle for the whole beans isn’t large enough to brew a whole pot. Second, it appears there isn’t a “door” that closes when the beans a dropped into the grinder so ground beans are blown back into and sticks to the top or cover every time! Third, once the water is heated and brewing begins condensation ends up in the bean receptacle and top. Lastly, they replaced the carafe metal pot with a glass pot and there’s a heating element underneath which supposedly is there keep the brewed coffee hot but obviously not as fresh as would be the case in the old carafe pot. I kept the old carafe pot and just poor the fresh brewed into it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Always liked Cuisinart dependability, and this one lives up. Whole bean coffee is just better, no matter how you slice it. With all the extra functionality, it was a no brainer to get this one. Only thing I’d change is to have a water meter on the side for the pod reservoir, but the front led tells you if it’s low. We just fill it after each use.
I would recommend this to a friend!
