[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is actually my second Cuisinart Grind and Brew. The first came as a Christmas present. I left that one at the cabin. I liked the coffee so much better than my coffee maker at my home, I decided I just had to replace that one. I bought another Cuisinart Grind and brew- same make and model!!?

I like the idea of not using pods for environment concerns. This machine does take more time for a cup of coffee. The holder for the coffee screen filter is about to break after a couple of month of use about mostly once a day, that's a bit disappointing. Hope I can find replacements.

Freshly ground and then freshly brewed coffee smells and tastes great. This coffee maker delivers on that. The only downsides with Grind and Brew coffee maker are the water reservoir is a bit small. After my wife and I enjoy a couple of cups each then it's time too refill. Another thing is, like the water resevoir, the bean chamber requires reloading after grinding our daily coffee ration. When it comes time for cleanup, well it is a bit time consuming and mess. All of these are minor annoyances though and should not deter purchasing the Grind and Brew. We are happy that we now know and experience freshly brewed coffee. It does make a difference.

Super easy to use and to clean. My only drawback is that the grinding operation does spray a little bit of the grind towards the back of the cup that the grounds go into so it's sitting on a ledge piece of the machine and you have to tap it a little bit when it's done otherwise a bunch of ground fall out onto the drip tray but other than that it works pretty well. I use the 10 ounce because it's kind of strong

This is a very useful one serve coffee maker. You can use cups or from whole beans. It will automatically grind the beans to the correct amount, then you put the ground coffee under the brewer and push a button. The item allows for three strengths 8 10 and 12 and the coffee is at a perfect temperature when brewed. I use it every day and am very happy with it.

I love this coffee maker. It makes it easy to make a single cup from whichever beans you prefer and does it fairly quickly. The only thing that I wish were different was if it were easier to clean the filter. No matter how I try to dispose of the grounds, some of them seem to go all over the place. Barring that, it would be nice to have paper filters that fit this style.

Brewer works great. Grinder drops grounds after use and when you close the lid on the cups with the grounds. Just a little bit of a mess. We bought extra cups the grounds fall into during the grind since 2 of us use it in the AM. All in all works great and fresh beans are the best. Footprint is small also.

Getting the beans into the holder used for grinding is awkward. The grinder overfills the receptacle used to brew the coffee, making a big mess when it is removed. On the plus side, I like being able to grind and brew a single cup, and being able to use K-cups will be convenient when I'm in a hurry.

I love the coffee pot. The water gets hotter faster than the pot I had before. I love the fact that you can grind your own beans. The only thing I would like to see is a 6oz water distribution because the ground coffee and some of the pods are a weaker blend of the coffee.

Got the coffee brewer a couples of weeks ago so far with exception of the grinder stopped working it seemed like beans got stuck in the bottom of the grinder. Emptied out the beans then took off the bottom of the grinder cleaned real good then put it back together worked fine. That's the only problem been working fine since then and brews a good cup of coffee.
