This coffee pot is easy to use. I've had a Keurig for so long I forgot what a really good cup of coffee tastes like! The fresh ground coffee option is what I use most. Excellent cup of coffee!! The coffee maker makes 1to 12 cups easy. I would buy this again. Very pleased!!

This recent purchase is my fourth Cuisinart auto grind/brew coffeemaker! This newer coffeemaker is engineering a much better construction and easier to clean/maintain. The grinder is alot quieter than previous versions. I trust Cuisinart and its coffeemakers.

Pros: -Makes a good tasting cup of coffee Cons: -It cannot grind enough beans for more than a half pot without getting clogged. -the coffee grounds are dispersed all over the upper chamber, making it difficult to clean. I wish the grounds would stay in the filter.

Nice product, only one minor flaw. The grind feature has to be turned off or it makes a horrible sound that wakes up the whole house. It would be helpful if it had to be turned on to use instead. Its not a feature I've ever used yet so no need to be on all the time

I've loved several Cuisinart grind and brew coffee pots. I enjoy the coffee from this one BUT I do not care for the coffee grounds basket (guess that's what it might be called). The cover that doesn't detach from the basket makes it hard to empty the old grounds and clean by hand.

Autogrind should be off by default. I like fresh ground beans but my wife keeps buying preground. She'll forget to turn grind off when setting timer. Hence, the disappointment of not tasting freshly ground after hearing the whirrrrrrrr. 😞 Darn Pavlo & his laws.

The new cuisinart is a lot like my old one that I used every morning for 15 years. It makes a great cup of coffee comparable to my favorite coffee shop. The grinder is a bonus. It's nice to have but a little noisy if I use it while my wife is still sleep. Overall I hope to enjoy my home brew from this machine another 15 years.

I have used Cuisinart coffee makers for several years and this one is amazing. I love the fresh grind feature that allows you to grind fresh beans directly into your brew basket for the best cup of coffee ever! If you don't want to grind your own beans, you can turn off this feature and use ground coffee. So far I love it as I have other Cuisinart products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this concept of brewing fresh ground beans. The coffee has such a better taste when brewed from whole beans. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because you need to clean it out each time you use it which the design has made difficult.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Spoiled lady here, my husband custom blends & brews my coffee, but there's occasions when I have to do it myself. You can't get any better then the Cusinart Automatic Grind & Brew Coffee Maker. It has every possible feature that's extremely user friendly; a water reservoir for its 12 cup carafe, can either grind fresh coffee beans or use already ground & I can use the timer to guarantee a fresh cup in the morning. Love the sleek design & the price point is great. Oh & it makes a great cup of coffee!
