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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.

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!
