I’m enjoying the Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee center. On the weekends I grind whole beans and make a large pot of coffee and use the pods during the week. The coffee is perfectly made. And the coffee center looks beautiful in the kitchen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been through at least 5 Grind and Brew coffee makers of the past many ears and my husband and I love them. Problem is When we have company there's always that one or two guests that wants decaf. To achieve this we decided to get the grind and brew and k-cup coffee maker. It makes the best coffee every since we also use whole beans. The only problem is this. We viewed the height measurement on the description and then we measured our cabinet height. Yes! We thought it would fit but it does not because of the "bubble" for the grinder on top. When you give measurements you should include this. We cannot fit the brewer under our cabinets. Very disappointing.

Very disappointed that there is no back light on the dispay panel. Its very difficult to see what is on panel when choosing settings. It would have also been nice to have removeable water reservoirs so that you can dumpnout any excess water to prevent stale water from sitting in reservoirs if you do not use it everyday. If those two things were on this model I would have given it 5 stars.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product won’t last long. Tons of coffee build up gets under the grinder. The grind compartment is not large enough to fit 12 scoops of whole beans- which this is a 12 cup coffee maker- so I don’t understand where their heads were at when designed? Disappointed with the machine. Wish I would have gotten the old grind and brew that had the reservoir for beans up top, but it was out of stock for so long, I went with this
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The bean grinder is VERY loud. Otherwise it is a good coffee pot. Would not recommend this product if you don’t like loud noises in the morning.

NOT happy with the coffee capacity of the grounds. Directions say don't exceed 16 measuring cups, but you couldn't get 5 in there without it overflowing. Very messy and no coffee flavor because of the small amount it will hold without overflowing. Pot capacity is too small also. Pod water capacity is too small also. I want a refund!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After 15 years, We bought Cuisinart Again!

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.

This is definitely a step up from the single-cup machine we were using previously. I like this system a lot, but I would suggest a cpl of improvements: 1) a grinder that doesn’t get so much condensation. Whenever we use, we have to clean. We went ahead and bought a separate grinder to make things easier. 2) a “peek” window on the water for single cups. 3) a way to fill the entire water chamber and then select the amt of cups you are making. It makes great coffee and I esp like the auto on timer so my coffee is ready in the morning. 🙂 Happy with the purchase.
