The Grind & Brew Coffeemaker form Cuisinart automatically grinds the beans right before brewing to produce a fresh and flavorful pot of coffee. Fully programmable with a brushed metal finish, this deluxe 12-cup coffeemaker will be right at home in any modern kitchen!
This is the third Cuisinart Grind and Brew Coffeemaker we have owned. The average lifespan has been about ten years. Each model has been an improvement over the last. To make coffee, fill the carafe with water and pour into the water chamber. Fill the grinding cup with coffee beans and install the top of the grind cup. Close the lid and touch the "on button" and get ready for that first wonderful cup of coffee. To clean it, put all removable parts into the dishwasher and wipe the inside of the coffeemaker with a damp cloth. If cleanliness is not your bag, buy the black machine and you can not see the coffee stains.
What's great about it: Simple enough for a kid to brew morning coffee.
What's not so great: Like anything else, it needs occasional attention.
