I really like this unit/model. I love the hopper, the carafe, the grinder. Understand that you'll need to maintain this thing for it to work properly. That mean breaking it down every week to three weeks depending on frequency of usage. The grinder is noisy so don't expect this thing to hum quietly, but what grinder is actually quiet? Consistent, good coffee comes from this unit. I love it, just understand that auto grind and brew coffee makers have more maintenance than a standard drip coffee maker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This was a replacement for a Cusinart grind and brew that died. It is also an upgrade since it has a thermal carafe. I love the taste of the coffe using freshly ground beans. Even when I use the grind off function, it produces good coffee. My only two criticisms are in regard to the design of the thermal carafe. It is hard to tell how much water to add since there are no markings inside the pot. But after a few uses, I've got that figured out. It would be nice to either mark the pot inside or have a glass window like on the machine to see the water level inside the pot. The other comment is how the pot pours. It is awkward to pour the last few ounces out of the pot. I almost have to turn it completely upside down in order to empty it. But it doesn't keep the coffee warm all day.

Absolutely love my new coffee maker. I bought it because a friend has one and it makes freshly ground coffee. But I think my favorite part is that when the coffee is made, it turns itself off immediately and the carrafe keeps the coffee hot for hours (although our coffee rarely lasts that long). The coffee tastes just as good later as it does freshly brewed because it doesn’t keep heating. Only drawback: grinder makes noise for about 10-20 seconds but after a while you hardly notice it. Highly recommend. I love ours!
