This is our second unit in five years. We used the first one until it refused to continue.
It is a great product and easy to maintain but you must keep it clean. Especially the coffee chute.

I bought this maker about 6 weeks ago and am thrilled with it! Set aside the fact that it's an extremely high quality unit,and it looks great on the counter, I love that I can now use pre-ground coffee or I can use my fresh beans!! My choice!! Sometimes I go back and forth with some ground coffee, then switch it up and maybe go to a flavored whole bean, and then back to ground coffee-whatever so I have "coffee options" based on my mood.
It only grinds enough beans for the number of cups I select, so no wasting or grinding and then storing extra grounds. You can also set the strength of coffee you prefer! This unit is very easy to use and clean. I highly recommend it!!

Mother’s Day purchase! Coffee is tepid after 1 hour, cafe does not keep coffee hot. Brew indicator strength not true to manual. Grind features are not user friendly. Overall very unhappy with this purchase and this is my 5th Cusinart Coffee pot.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

4 years of use. Leaking on resistence. Trying to get a response from Cuisinart support for more than a month without response.
The leaking is not the problem but the lack of support...I would think a lot before buying another Cuisinart product.

We have owned 3 Grind and Brew Coffee Makers prior to this 4th and current one. It seems that we have to clean the chute where the coffe enters the filter basket on a weekly basis. This is far more frequently than the previous ones. At least once a week we get and error "beep" and the coffee maker interrupts the coffee making process and we must take the bean bin off and clean out the chute before we can get a cup of coffee. Based on the fact that we use the same beans we have always used (Starbucks) it would appear that the problem is the coffee maker. So disappointed because we have been loyal Grind and Brew owners for over 5 years.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had several Cuisinart grind and brew coffeemakers and I liked them all. The only drawback with this unit, and to be it is a big one, is that it does not have a hot plate beneath the pot, like my others did. It is a stainless steel thermal pot. I find that unless I fill it full of hot water to get it hot just before brewing, it only keeps the coffee hot for a few hours, like 2 hours. Preheating the pit before use extends that to 3-4, but preheating isn't an option if you want to use the built in to her to grind and brew whole your still in bed. Having to preheat the pot neabs the auto brew function is nearly worthless unless you like warm coffee.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
