Getting the Grind and Brew coffee maker makes life so much easier in the AM. Just put the beans and water in the night before, set the timer and go to bed..... Wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

My coffee pot leaked and was broken. Cuisinart sent me a brand new replacement under the warranty. The coffee pot keeps coffee hot for 4 hours. It makes 12 cups with or without beans. It makes pods too for a quick cup. I'm glad to have my coffee pot back again.

Our Cuisinart Coffee machine was gifted to us which we immediately put to use. We were very satisfied with this machine. It’s easy to use and produced delicious coffee.

This was supposed to be an upgrade from my old click burr but I wish I had kept my old trusty coffee maker. First issue was the grinder…it was either too overfilled to make a good cup or it wouldn’t have enough and the coffee would be watery. Second issue is even cleaning it daily and no longer using the grind feature, placing ground brand in the filter to the fill line caused water to constantly spill out. Using less coffee always led to a watery pot. The frustration of spending more and never being able to make a full pot of coffee makes me want to find another coffee maker. I’m going back to my old click burr if it had not been discontinued.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'm not going to mince words: the Coffee Center Grind and Brew Plus isn't just a coffee maker, it's a culinary deity masquerading as a kitchen appliance. From the moment this magnificent machine graced my countertop, my mornings have transformed from groggy rituals into pure, unadulterated bliss.
Let's talk about the grind. "Super quiet," the user said? That's an understatement so profound it borders on blasphemy. This machine grinds beans with the hushed reverence of a librarian in a silent reading room. I’ve had grandmothers who whisper louder! You could be performing delicate brain surgery next to this thing, and the only sound you'd hear is the delightful whiff of freshly pulverized coffee. It's so efficient, it feels like it's brewing coffee before I even think about wanting it.
And the warmth! Oh, the glorious, enduring warmth! This isn't your average, "lukewarm an hour later" kind of warmth. This is the kind of warmth that says, "I love you, and I want your coffee to be perfectly hot until the very last drop, even if you decide to take a nap in between cups." It's like having a personal coffee concierge dedicated to maintaining optimal temperature at all times.
Truly, this is the best coffee maker ever. It has elevated my coffee experience to a level I previously thought unattainable. It's efficient, it's quiet, it's a warmth-preserving wizard.
Now, for the one minuscule, almost unforgivable flaw that threatens to cast a shadow on this otherwise perfect beacon of caffeinated joy: the coffee pot glass. "Overly sensitive," they said. Ha! That's like calling a supernova a "bright light." I’ve looked at these pots sideways and felt a tremor of impending doom. I've accidentally breathed too hard in their general vicinity, and suddenly, shards. Two pots already! It’s less a coffee pot and more a delicate, crystalline heart, prone to shattering at the slightest emotional turbulence. It truly makes me glower with frustration that such a magnificent machine is tethered to such a fragile vessel. It's the Achilles' heel of an otherwise Herculean coffee maker.
Despite this, I stand by my assertion: the Coffee Center Grind and Brew Plus is an unbelievable, wonderful, fantastic triumph. Just... invest in a backup pot. Or ten. You'll thank me later, after you've experienced the sheer perfection of the brew.

I’ve always loved Cuisinart products and I have many however this new coffee pot is the icing on the cake. Not only can it grind fresh beans to make a full pot but it can also use a pod if I only want one cup, and there are two separate water wells. I absolutely love it.

All the features on this coffee maker are why I like this machine, especially the drip, pod brew and the bold option. Only negative is it’s a heavy machine to slide on the counter.
