I returned it in 3 days. Steam came from the front and the filter door reached 176 degrees. My wife was burned trying to empty the basket after brewing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was purchased to replace the previous model of the grind and brew which we loved! This new version was not up to Cuisinart expectations!! The machine produced so much steam that my cabinets and counter were wet and the coffee was awful! We returned it immediately!

had it for less than a month. This morning is stopped brewing halfway through the water that was in the resevoir. Took an hours worth of trouble shooting to and still no idea why it stopped brewing only half done with the water. It did this one other time but I had put pre-ground beans in and it wasn't as hard to restart that time. None-the-less, it has proven itself it be a problematic machine and will be returned.

The instruction manual doesn’t go into enough detail about programming the coffee maker, i.e., setting clock, program time, and the strength setting. The steps are not intuitive and it took several days before I had it setup correctly. Also the carafe drips when pouring the coffee. I’ve tried holding it at different angles with no luck. Since I drink my coffee in bed I must keep a towel on my lap to keep it from dripping on my bed sheets. The coffee quality is good but I’m giving it a 3-star review based on the difficult programming and the drippy carafe.
