It's more complicated to use than our old Cuisinart coffee maker that didn't have the grind function, but it makes good coffee. Its thermos-style coffee pot needs to be heated up before using. I don't think the base on which the pot sits is a hot plate, so the coffee doesn't stay hot for very long.

I like the taste of fresh ground coffee. I hated having to grind in one and transfer to a brewer. When these hit the market I was super excited. I absolutely love it. I'd only change how loud it is.

  Hard To Clean, Loud

There’s nothing like fresh ground coffee, and this machine grinds and brews, no need for a separate grinder. Best feature is thermal carafe, no burnt coffee taste from a hot plate, Keeps coffee hot for at least 2.5 hours!

This Cuisinart grind and brew has a much better design than my previous older model. I had problems with my old basket popping open during the brewing process leaving me with a huge mess to clean. This basket arm is sturdier and should not give me the same problems.

  Long Brew Time, Loud

Cuisinart has done it again. The finest coffee maker that I have ever owned. Easy to use, easy to clean, and best of all, it makes fantastic, fresh-ground coffee! I'm a railroad man, and coffee is what keeps the railroad running. I love the coffee this product makes.

  Grinder unit still a bit labor intensive to clean.

Love the concept, but in reality this unit did not work for us. We tried it for 1 week, utilizing different strategies to try and get our coffee brewed to the strength we prefer but only got it right 1 out of 7 tries.

  makes coffee, stealth like with already ground coffee or alarm clock like with whole beans ground and dispensed into a waiting filter.

I love this coffee grinding pot! It is great to have fresh ground coffee ready for me in the morning. The only draw-back is that it requires careful cleaning every day, a little more than I am used to with my regular coffee pot.

I absolutely adore my Cuisinart coffee maker. I drink at least 3 cups of coffee per day, and between my fiancé and I we go through a pot every day.The design is clean, fits mostly any type of counter space that you may have, and is easy to clean and maintain.I have not had much experience with the...
