Grinder broke within a year. Purchased a replacement part and still doesn’t work, indicating a problem with the machine and motor. Huge disappointment, as I believed Cuisinart was a good brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We love this coffee maker because it grinds beans fresh for each pot, and we love the timer feature. Actually this model is a replacement for a similar model we’ve had for many years. The old model’s carafe dripped when we poured a cup, so we were hoping the new model would have improved design here…but no! It also leaks around the plastic gasket when you pour, totally brand new out of the box! Perfect except for that leaky carafe.

Very unhappy with this product; long-time user of this product. Prior coffee maker burr grinder stopped working after 5 years so I bought what appeared to be duplicative of prior product. Different parts of the coffee maker are distinctly different from prior model: very cheaply made; lid on carafe leaks every time it's poured. Lid does not fit well.

Pros: Nice looking machine on my counter top. Temperature of brewed coffee is nice and hot. Cons: Complicated design / too many parts to keep clean. The latch that opens & closes the filter compartment doesn't work well. The carafe lid is not the easy flip top style. There is condensation in the grind compartment regardless of if you use it or not increasing the chance for bacteria growth (more cleaning!).

Previous Cuisinart had a bean container that automatically fed grinder. This one requires grinder to be filled manually for each brewing. Preferred previous model.
