I have loved grinding the perfect amount of beans for one cup of coffee! This has opened up my coffee tasting experiences and cut down on plastic use. The grinder delivers the exact amount of coffee needed to brew a great “cup a Joe”. The machine heats the water very quickly - much quicker than other brewers. Overall, I am well pleased with the purchase.

My Keurig died so I was looking for a replacement. Since I still had a lot of K-cups in my pantry I decided to look for another K-cup brewer. When I saw this grind & brew option, I jumped at the chance to purchase it. I haven't been disappointed. My problem now is, I always want to grind beans and have that fresh smell of coffee, so I'm having a hard time using up all my K-cups!

I love the idea of this and it makes delicious freshly ground coffee. However, A few things are confusing to me. First, the instructions are to empty the hopper before removing the bottom. There's really no way to do this without turning the entire machine upside down since the hopper is not removable. Second, filling the hopper is tricky without spilling beans because the grinder is blocking the opening. And lastly, the measurements aren't accurate. You always get 2 more ounces of coffee than the amount you selected (not necessarily a bad thing, but strange )

Seemed like a good idea, but: The bean container is a pain to fill; Some of the beans are ground so finely that they sift through the filter and leave a residue in the bottom of your cup; It won't accommodate a 16 oz insulated mug; Fills my favorite 8 oz cup to overflowing. That said, my wife loves it (three stars, split the difference).

I wanted this to work! However, I tried 2 machines and both were defective. The grind function worked great! But that was all that worked. No brew. Customer service was very friendly and helpful for the return of my first and the replacement. But the product was still defective.

I love my single serve grind and brew. I only have one cup of coffee in the morning before heading out, and this gives me the freshest coffee option. It is nice that you can also use store bought coffee pods if you don't feel like running the grind option.

I do like this coffee maker. It is convenient and so very easy. I love the ability use use both prepared cups and then use my own coffee. I look forward to experimenting with prepared coffees available. I will say there are two irritants that Cuisinart could work on - after making coffee it will drip so I leave a paper towel below to catch the drips and the coffee grinder, while incredibly efficient drops lots of excess fresh grounds out when I remove the insert. But it is incredibly adept at good coffee through either format.

This is the ideal coffee maker for one living in a small space. Its compact size fits perfectly in my 34' 5th wheeler. The idea of fresh ground coffee every morning is very appealing, but being able to also use pre-ground is great. I dislike K-cups because of the waste they produce. All I have to get rid of are old grounds, which can go in the garden. My one complaint is, the despenser in not tall enough to fill my travel mug, without holding it there, at an angle. Other than that, I love this coffee maker.

This is by far the best coffee maker I have owned. The built-in grinder takes the guesswork out of how much coffee to grind, the preset water amounts guarantee just the right coffee to water ratio for the perfect cup, the coffee temp is perfect, and it is so easy to clean after. The fact that it brews KCups as well is a bonus, but with the grinder, why would anyone do that. There is something to be said about fresh ground coffee that is so easy to use! - Mom is loving hers too!

I wanted a single serve coffee maker that could grind coffee too and the Grind and Brew Cuisinart does that well. The coffee tastes much better than what I used to make with my old coffee maker. I like how convenient it is to fill the filter with coffee thanks to the scoop that's included. The filter is also easy to clean. The grinder is not as noisy as I expected by reading some of the reviews and I love that it grinds just enough coffee to fill the filter and stops automatically. Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
