The thermal carafe does not keep coffee hot enough after 3-4 hours.
This unit requires cleaning after all beans are used from the top feeder and before it's refilled. Cleaning involves removing the feeder and using the included brush/cup tool to completely remove the residual grinds which build up in the chute between the grinder and the coffee basket. If this is not done on a regular basis the chute will clog completely. The burr grinder is not adjustable; only one grind is available. The strength is adjustable by the length of time it grinds beans to feed the basket. The sound from the beeper which lets one know when the coffee is brewed and ready is hardly noticeable and should be much louder.
The bottom line is that it makes a very good cup of coffee and if all the refinements are made, this will be a 5 star rating.

I wanted an automatic maker for early morning but live fresh ground beans. We stayed with friends who had one and the quality of the coffee was great. Delimma solved.

This is my third Cuisinart 12 cup grind and brew coffee maker. Before I had the 10 cup Cuisinart. I love coffee and I love to grind my own beans for that absolutely fresh taste. I love the fact that the coffeemaker grinds the beans without the extra mess of grinding in another machine. It does it all. We gave our daughter one for a wedding gift and it is still doing great after almost 5 years. Keep up the great work Cuisinart and I will continue to buy this coffeemaker.

The cofffee maker is great when it comes to making coffee from grounds, but it does NOT keep your coffee hot or even warm after bruing. Have to drink you coffee FAST after making it.

Received as a gift. All items work well. We have since switched to using ground coffee because the sound is horrifyingly loud. When we used the grinder, it was a game to hit the grinding button and then race back to the bedroom to shut the door before it kicked off. I have not found enough difference in the quality of coffee to switch back to grinding the beans ourselves. Additionally, the coffee pot, though it stays hot for a long time, lacks the ability to be disassembled for cleaning

I have been searching for the machine that produces the best cup of coffee .... this may be it. The coffee it makes tastes superb. A hot plate would be desirable, and the grinder does require weekly cleaning but this is the easiest auto grind-and-brew I have found when clean-up time comes....the effort is well worth getting a great cup of coffee every time!
