I have been grinding my coffee beans for over 25 years using a separate grinder and then brewing it through a drip coffee maker. I decided to get more modern and try this all-in-one coffee maker. The coffee maker is easy to use, not messy as some reviews mentioned. Enjoy the little things in life and start your day out with fresh ground beans and a perfect cup of coffee.

Love this coffee maker. Coffee tastes so much better. This came with only one reusable pod so I ordered two more! I am enjoying my morning coffee so much more! I have have the option to use pods but will only use up the ones I have. Fresh ground coffee is so much better!!

The coffee maker is a good product with just a few short comings. The bean hopper needs to be taller for ease in loading beans. The water reservoir should have a 50 % larger capacity. The unit should come with two brewing baskets to accommodate sequential cups being brewed.

This is great coffee maker for those wanting the ability to both grind whole beans and/or use pods. I can now use whole beans providing that very fresh cup of coffee. In my research, there are not many products out there for the single serve users, or those who just want a 2 or 3 cups a day. It is very easy to use and Cusinart has hit a home run in my humble opinion.

I like to smell freshly ground coffee and percolate immediately after. So this seemed like a good idea Some drawback. The coffee grounds spread all over the place when you grind. So the design of the cup that collects the powder needs improvement . I would have also preferred to have a marker that shows how much you need to grind for just one cup. The part where you put hot water through the grounds also has issue. Lot of coffee gathers outside the cup holder Still it looks nice. So I am keeping it

The mild, med & bold brews were pretty light and I didn't like them at all. I almost returned it until I tried the over ice brew setting and, that made a huge difference. I'd say if you like stronger coffee use the over ice setting. If you like hot water with a taste of coffee try the other three. I like the size of the coffee machine, it's easy to clean and the best part it's it grinds coffee with each serving.

I like this coffee maker with one exception......the mess it makes with the screen filter when you have to dump the used coffee grounds. It would have been nice to include a paper filter for ease of clean-up. One other thing is the grinder appears to fill the filter to the top and when you remove ,a more than expected coffee falls into the tray. A bit more cleanup.

I love the Cuisinart Grind and Brew single serve coffee maker. I would rate it a 5, if it were able to make a stronger and larger cup of coffee. There's no way to add more beans to adjust the strength of coffee. If I mix an 8 oz and 10 oz together I get a bit stronger full cup. If the amount of beans per cup were adjustable or maybe the grind size, it would be perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Taste Great! AWESOME to wake up to A FRESHLY BREWED AND GRINDED Beans tastes Delicious and awakening!

We purchased this unit to replace a failing espresso maker with built in grinder, so our standards are pretty high. Was pleasantly surprised at how well designed the Cuisinart Grind and Brew is and how simple it is to operate.
