Coffee maker does not heat the water hot enough to keep the coffee drinkable for more than 5 minutes in the insulated carafe. The resting pad does not operates after brewing because it will damage the insulated carafe. Do not buy this coffee maker if you like hot coffee.

Some really great features, but one major flaw. The 24-hour timer is really nice and I love the stainless steel pot. The "burr" grinder is the best type to use. However, the slope of the area that holds the beans is not steep enough to consistently feed beans into the grinder portion. Sometimes beans flow nicely and other times they don't. And flavored beans with any kind of oils on them or dampness won't feed at all. The slope of the bean bin needs to be much much steeper. Good coffee is made by "consistently" using the right amount of coffee with the right amount of water. However, because this machine can't consistently grind the same amount of beans each time many cups are too weak or too strong meaning this item simply can't make good coffee.

It has changed my opinion of drinking coffee to the enjoyment and not just used to wake up. It brews a clean tasting coffee and takes out the bitterness compare to my prior coffee machines.

Fantastic, Burr, Grind and Brew all-in-one machine. Provides the flexibility to also use already ground coffee. Is programmable allowing one to wake up to a freshly brewed coffee. Comes with gold filter to spare the use of paper filters. Easy to clean. Thermal can keeps coffee hot/warm for hours. For us a repeat purchase. First machine lasted 7 years.

I replaced a previously owned, same model machine, which served me well for many years. The new model has a different grind shoot, which is a little more difficult to clean. Also, the carafe lid doesn’t seem to seal as tight, as the older version. Otherwise the machine is working great, I just hope it lasts as long as the previous one.

Love how easy this is to clean and use over the older type Grind and Brew. Makes great coffee! Not crazy about the thermal pot. Coffee doesn’t really stay hot and difficult to clean.

After 2-3 months the 12-cup feature stopped working. Nothing could be done to fix this problem so Cuisinart sent a replacement, but it was a 10-cup unit because (they said) the 12-cup model was discontinued. That said, having a burr grinder is far superior to blade ones and the tech to grind just the right amount works well.
