Cuisinart - Grind & Brew Coffee Maker - Black
Cuisinart - Grind & Brew Coffee Maker - Black
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!

Good Idea - Poor Execution
on January 10, 2012

The idea behind the grind and brew is great, however it doesn't work well at all.
The grinder holds a very limited amount of beans, so you are only able to grind enough for about 5 cups, which doesn't quite fill my wife and I's travel mugs for the ride to work in the morning.
Because of this if you want more then 1 mug full, you have to brew another pot, and basically start all over. Therefore, if you want to use the grind and brew feature consider the fact that this is only about a 5-6 cup coffee maker, not the 12 cup is lists in the description.
Also, the grinder portion is housed in the same area as the water, so when it brews steam condenses in the grinder causing it to get gummy. This means you have to wash it and dry it every day after brewing. With my stand alone grinder, I could grind more than a week's worth of coffee before needing to clean it.
I am switching back to my old Mr. Coffee and stand alone grinder.
What's great about it: The idea of having a machine to both grind and brew
What's not so great: Only 5 cup grind and brew capability
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Durability
