I love the coffee that this product makes, but the amount of cleaning and processing I have to do each time is a pain... I thought I had purchased the cuisinart coffee maker that allows me to pour the beans into the top section and not have to replace and wash the bean grinder and grinder cover for each pot I make but I was mistaken! Kind of disappointed, but if you are willing to wash several of the parts after each and every use, the coffee itself tastes great!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We purchased this coffee making to easily make coffee on a daily basis. We are using up our ground coffee so we don’t need the grinder. What happens, is each time we brew coffee, the grinder gets wet with condensation and I need to clean it each time. That’s the only real complaint. The coffee is great, and that’s with pre-ground beans, so I’m anxious to see how it is with freshly ground. I think my guys just have to get used to cleaning the thing…it’s an extra couple steps but not too time consuming. I actually drink tea but the men in my house like it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Really like the look of this coffeemaker. It's sleek and doesn't take up much counter space. I love that it could replace my other grinder, saving even more space! That said, it doesn't allow for many beans which doesn't make a pot of freshly brewed coffee, only a few cups. (Unless I just like my coffee THAT strong, which is possible!). It's easy to use, despite all the moving parts. I do think the carafe feels cheap, though. I've had other Cuisinart coffeemakers before and this carafe isn't as heavy duty. The lid is flimsy plastic that doesn't click into place easily. Other than that, it's well made and my coffee tastes great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Like the coffeemaker, hate the carafe lid-it does not stay on the carafe firmly causing water… or hot coffee to pour everywhere. Took the same model back to store for the same reason. Seems to be a defect. Would like a carafe w/lid that stays on replacement
