I love this coffee pot. I have always ground my own coffee. This is the first time to have one built into the pot. It is fresh every morning and perfect!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The coffeemaker works well in most respects, but there are some shortcomings. One is the small size of the hopper, which only holds about half a cup of beans and must be refilled often. The other is that the grounds overflow the paper filter and must be cleaned out after every brew. And finally, the hot plate does not keep the coffee really hot.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this when my old grind and brew unit wouldn't boil the water anymore, and I'm really glad i did. I should also say the I bought what i thought was the replacement Grind and brew at BB&B, only to find out that it was a propeller grinder with removable inward parts that had to be washed after every use, and I could only put enough beans in for one pot. what a pain! Fortunately BB&B took it back when i returned it after finding this unit. With this unit, i only have to dump the grounds after making a pot, and wash out the filter holder after each use. This pot has an actual burr grinder, which is superior, and a hopper that I can put almost a weeks' worth of beans in. This unit is what I was looking for when I went to BB&B, but they didn't have it. Everything from the old unit has been upgraded, and the only improvement I can suggest is the stainless steel carafe that I had from my original Cuisinart coffee maker.

Nice unit, works fine. Not a great replacement for the individual Cuisinart coffeemaker and burr grinder I had for many years. Getting the right brew strength was a guessing game using the Strength and Cup number(even numbers only) choices. Now changing either of those settings and deciding how much water to use is still a guessing game. I would go back to my original set-up if I had the choice.

The door to get to the coffee grounds consistently jams and requires a few tries to get open. The glass carafe leaks heavily around the plastic ring where it attaches to the glass.

The only 2 negatives I have is that I wish it held more beans and the filter will fall off easily when it's open. But honestly it is still MY FAVORITE COFFEE MAKER EVER!!!! It is VERY easy to clean & operate & makes an amazing, fresh pot of coffee. Also the "Grind Off" feature is wonderful.
