This is our second Cuisinart grind and brew. The last one is about seven years old. The new one is improved and like the older one makes great coffee. The hinged lid on the filter basket is the best. The three main components clean quickly. Visitors all love the morning coffee. And, there might be some converts to Cuisinart.
I would recommend this to a friend!

DCC 400 series has a leaky carafe and a quirk with

This is a great coffee pot in many ways. I love the looks and the apparent quality of the little machine. You have the choice of grinding fresh beans or using pre-ground coffee, with just the push of a button. The controls are simple to use. However, I have been disappointed with two issues. The carafe with stainless steel handle that comes with the coffee pot, DCC 400 series, leaks coffee under the lip when pouring a cup. The seal is inadequate between the glass and the rim, and there is no way to stop this drip safely. I immediately called the company since it has a three-year warranty and asked that the carafe be replaced and they said they would not - even Suggested I go back to the store and exchange for another. Since I bought the last one on the shelf and they store is not planning to restock, this was impossible. Only two options I have - to buy a new one myself, or remember to use a towel under the lip when I’m pouring my coffee.
Second issue concerns the grinder, which is the default whenever you turn on the coffee pot, whether it be manually or by programming. You must remember to turn the grinder off before you push the start button or the program button. This seems backwards. Failure to do so turns on the grinder first! Can you imagine the shock at 6:00 AM!

I love this coffee maker! Easy to use. First time in my life I’m buying whole bean coffee and it does make a difference for the better! I received it as a birthday gift from my husband 1 1/2 year ago. I would recommend it to others.

So far I love it! The grinder is a bit noisy, but not any louder than my handheld grinder. I love that it is capable of doing beans or ground coffee.

I love that they have upgraded the unit with a backlit display and have added a four hour delay in the shut off feature. I have been using the Cuisinart grind and brew coffee makers for more than a dozen years now and love them.

I love having freshly ground coffee bean coffee in the morning. This is my 3rd generation of this machine! I will say this latest model doesn’t grind all the beans as past machines.

We have been using grind and brew coffee makers for the past 25 years and absolutely love the flavor of the coffee it makes. I think this is our 4th or 5th coffee maker because they do have a limited life span because of the blades etc,but they are wonderful!!

I really like this coffee maker for the price. You do need to clean the grinder after every use, but I'm cleaning the rest of it anyway. We like pretty strong coffee, and we've found that 55 grams of beans to 9 "cups" of water is to our liking. We had to play around with strength a bit to arrive there. We've also used ground coffee and it's also very good. Yes, the grinder is loud, but I expected that and it doesn't last long.
