We really like our new coffee maker. Not only can we make our pot of coffee in the morning but we can also make a single cup of coffee or tea any time of the day. The single serving can be one of 3 sizes depending on the size of your cup and uses K-cups. You can also use the plastic K-cup substitutes for loose leaf tea by removing the insert. The hot plate under the coffee pot appears to keep the coffee hotter than our old maker, and we can choose to make the coffee "Bold" with the touch of a button. The grinder in the new Grind & Brew Plus appears to be "sturdier" than the Grind & Brew we're replacing. We have a problem removing the grinding basket from our Grind 'n Brew and I don't think we'll have that problem with this unit. A window on the side allows you to see how much water is in the reservoir so you don't have to look from the top. The reservoir for the single-serving side can hold water for several cups of beverage, but note that the single brew side will not work unless a minimum amount of water is in the reservoir and it may be difficult to ascertain the problem. This little gem is in the instructions but how many of us will remember what we read when we first read them. The coffee ground basket can be used with either a paper filter or the screen basket that is included. The coffee ground basket is hinged and apparently the top does not detach. Each reservoir has a "stick" that holds a carbon filter. Two filters are included with the maker, and I find they improve the taste of the coffee by removing some of the chlorine, etc. All in all, pleased with the purchase.

Grinder is plastic not metal and the Keurig maker does not provide water that is very hot.

I found this to be the worst coffee maker. I had to take it back 3 times. Finally got Keurig
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have purchased Cuisinart grind & brew pots several times. Regrettably, I went with this lesser model because I would have to order the upgrade. This is one of the worst coffee systems ever. It has no individual measurable water sites it makes very weak coffee in the bold setting unless you only make 6 1/2 cups. It is a daily hassle to clean the small grinder. The individual coffee maker leaves a-lot to be desired as well. We are going to purchase the higher quality Cuisinsart maker with the coffee bean hopper on top and visible water levels it is a better quality product. We will forgo the individual cup feature. I do not recommend this item.

This coffee center is amazing. I had a regular grind and brew that lasted nearly 7 years and was a work horse. I decided to upgrade with the Keurig center which gives me an option of just one cup when needed.
My wife is now hooked on the K-pods.

Delicious fresh coffee from the grind and brew side is the best. Choose the fresh beans and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. The warming plate keeps the coffee perfectly hot! For a quick cup, I can still use my k-cups as well. However, nothing beats a freshly ground cup of coffee!
Highly recommend this one—easy to use and clean
