We tried an 800 burr grind and brew. It made good coffee but dripped and the grinder broke after 1.5 years. The blade grinder model was next. It was loud, made good coffee, and took too long to clean all the parts. Cuisinart sent our 850 burr grind and brew with thermal carafe as a replacement to the 800 model. The 850 with thermal carafe is the best model. Coffee is outstanding, easy to clean, relatively quiet grinder, and the thermal carafe is really nice. They got it right with this model, I recommend it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This coffeemaker is appropriate for an office setting--not for a home. This is my 4th Cuisinart grind and brew coffeemaker and the one that I like the least. I prefer the pyrex coffee pot for the visibility and the cleanliness of glass. I did not choose this one--it was a replacement for one that only lasted for 1/3 of its warranty life. I probably will get used to it with time but it is the last time I will buy a Cuisinart product.

My first machine made weak coffee. Trying to get a replacement was a hassle. When I finally did receive a replacement, the coffee tasted good, but the machine randomly beeped for no reason. When pouring a cup, the coffee gets everywhere. Would much rather have the glass carafe that doesn’t leak. The good thing is the grind is much quieter than other machines.

This machine is exactly what I was looking for except it did not make coffee that is strong enough for my taste even at the strongest setting. I noticed that the coffee was not as hot as I get out of the grind control machine. The temperature itself is not an issue, however this might be a clue as to why the coffee is not strong enough. Other than that, the machine functioned well and the grinder was quieter than I have experienced in the past.

Had to return this coffee maker after trying to get it to work for two weeks. The grinder control did not work; some days it would grind beans for a weak cup of coffee, next day it would grind for 30-35 seconds and use up nearly ½ lb beans when set for two cups. Kept changing settings but seldom got the correct combo of beans to water. Also, coffee was only lukewarm, so thermostat did not work either. I have an earlier model of this same coffee maker in my vacation home and it has been working fine for over a year.

Coffee maker made good coffee. The two problems I had with it are: water reservoir isn’t removable for cleaning and it’s not possible to grind the coffee in advance of auto brewing.

Best coffee pot I’ve had in decades! I consider myself fairly picky when it comes to my coffee makers - and this one checked all my boxes! It’s simple to use - whether I want it to grind fresh beans or use already ground coffee. Simple to keep clean - to fill the water, and the carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours!
My favorite feature is the auto-program! I wake up to an amazing smelling kitchen and a fresh hot pot of coffee! Was a fast/easy set-up too.
Couldn’t ask for more!
I would recommend this to a friend!
