The first one we owned worked well but this one isn’t callebrated correctly. To make 10 cups of coffee we have to set it at 4 strong! Doesn’t make sense! If we have to make more coffee or less we have to guess.

This machine makes delicious coffee whether you have it grind your beans or use already ground beans. However, the filter basket seems small for a machine that can supposedly make 12 cups. We make up to 10 and, if it grinds the beans on extra bold setting, that pretty much fills the filter basket. I don't really see how it could make 12 without overflowing. Additional, experimentation has revealed that the foil filter it comes with works much better if you have the machine grind your beans. Paper filters work fine for already ground coffee and for up to 8 cups of machine-ground coffee. A slightly larger filter basket would be a good improvement.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The grinder stopped working after about 11 months. I think steam got into the grinder area and caused it to get gunked up. I removed all of the gunked-up debris using a paper towel and the brush provided. I tried to test it at least 6 times, with a small amount of whole beans. It would attempt to grind the beans, grind a very small amount and then stop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It grinds way too much beans. If it's set for more than 6 cups you get grounds in the pot. We never had this issue with our previous Cuisinart grind and brew.
