This is exactly what we wanted. The ability to have a fresh ground coffee or a pod when we feel like it. We tried to have some good ground coffee on hand but found that it went stale rather rapidly. Thanks

Despite owning a Nespresso, I purchased this Cuisinart coffee maker because I liked the versatility of grinding my own coffees beans or the using the differ coffee pods also.

The hopper for the beans needs to be a bit taller it would be much easier to fill & beans wouldn't bounce out all over the counter. A larger water container would be nice.

Although this machine is a great idea, it grinds twice as much coffee for each cup. There needs to be variables built into the machine to adjust the amount of ground coffee

Worked great for about two weeks then it broke. According to manual its something to do with heating element. Must be a common problem for them to have it in manual.

I love it! It wasn't expensive and does the job. The grinder works very well with Amazon whole bean dark roast lol. It didn't work well for me with another brand IDKY

Although a bit messy, spewing grounds around the area, AND makes a ground too fine (lots of coffee sludge), I still like the coffee results. Good flavor and good temperature.

Not happy with this purchase. Makes a big mess when using the grinder function and leaks water/coffee grounds when making a cup of coffee. Very disappointed in this purchase and expected more from Cuisinart.

So far my coffee maker is working well. A couple of suggestions. First, I wish there is an option to brew a 6 oz coffee. Second, the grinder is messy to use. The grounds always fall out of the grinder k-cup basket. Also, the ground coffee brewing is very light maybe due to lack of coffee grounds per k-cup fill (again if there is a 6 oz option this can be resolved or maybe the water temp has to be higher).

Really like this coffee maker. Great to be able to grind your beans and then go right into making your coffee. It makes a nice strong cup and is very quiet and brewing. Unfortunately, you cannot fit a normal size to go cup under the coffee repository, and when you grind it spits grounds everywhere.
