This coffee maker will not make a bold pot of coffee. I like my coffee strong and there is a bold button that you can turn on, but honestly there is no difference in taste. Additionally, the basket to grind the beans is very small. You would only be able to make a very very weak whole pot of coffee if you filled up the carafe with water because you cannot fit enough beans into the grinder to make strong pot. Very disappointed since the cost is really high.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We had a prior Cuisinart Grind brew for 10+ years and felt it was reaching end of life. So decided to replace with another Cuisinart but adding the flexibility to do the single k-cup when we don't want so much coffee. VERY disappointed that we found leakage in the counter multiple times. At first I thought maybe I messed up pouring the water into the very small opening. But after several times, even when I knew I added the water carefully, I found much water in the counter after brewing. Had to have a leak somewhere. Then saw several reviews online with similar issues. We returned the coffee maker to the retailer. May not buy Cuisinart again.

Very pleased with this machine, especially since it grinds and brews coffee for a carafe, as well as operates a separate section for K-cups. It's ingenious!

Once you learn how to properly access everything, it works very well (don't force the lid open!). Super convenient to have the pot after our Keureg finally died. This does both (k-cups and ground) and so far works very well. The self contained filtration and built-in grinder is a huge plus as well. It grinds on the timer as well so you can have super fresh brew in the morning. Great investment so far.
