This coffee maker replaces our old one of the same model. It finally died after 6 years of constant grinding and brewing! We really like the quality that was built into this machine, so we decided to replace it with another. We have never had a coffee maker live so long!

I love just about everything with this coffeemaker. It brews beautifully and our coffee is so rich and yummy every time. The one caveat is that it’s difficult to make just one cup of coffee. We have to put the grind on “4”, which is the lowest setting. That grinds an enormous amount of beans for just a single cup. Other than that, this is wonderful product!

Excellent coffee maker. Great for ground coffee as well as whole bean grinding! Super easy to set up program and base keeps coffee nice and hot. I find it hard to read the water level though as I am filling the tank. Other than that it is probably the best coffee maker I have owned.

I love the coffeemaker. It makes excellent coffee, with a variety of control settings. I am having difficulty with spillage every time I fill the coffeemaker with water, or fill coffee cups.

Awesome coffee machine with built in grinder. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 due to a bad design on the carafe. It's a dribble pot as the plastic is not sealed to the glass part of the carafe. You have to pour your cup over the sink otherwise you have a mess to clean. Cusinart did send us a new carafe after we reported the problem, but the new one does the same thing. Dribble, heavily.

I'm still getting used to a pot again from using an Aeropress. We got tired of making 1 cup at a time and had lots of family over for the holidays so we needed a big coffee maker. I like the grinder option but it's really loud (expected) and it seems to go through more beans than necessary. Again, still getting used to it. My only real complaint is that the carafe leaks when you pour. When it's completely full, it doesn't matter how slow you pour, a few ounces end up all over the counter. When it only has 5 or 6 cups in the carafe and you pour super slow it doesnt leak. Very frustrating. Still trying to decide if it's enough of a frustration to return it.

I am somewhat disappointed in this coffee maker. I have purchased this same product over many years. The materials in this new coffee maker seem much cheaper. The grinder is very rough and very loud. I have many Cuisinart products. I will not purchase this one again.

We like the whole bean or ground flexibility. The whole bean option is ok- I like my grind to be a bit finer (it uses a lot of beans/pot). The basket for grounds is a bit undersized- it fills to the top and can bet messy to remove the coffee filter. The coffee is good though.

This machine grinds WAY too much coffee for the number of cups programmed, even on the lowest "strength" setting. Even when set for four cups, the machine fills a paper filter about 3/4 full with ground coffee. We are still searching for the right combination of settings and water volume. But it's frustrating that the machine can't just grind the right amount. Carafe also leaks upon pouring.

This was a replacement for a much older grind and brew that would no longer grind. New doesn't always mean better. This machine is so much of a down grade from the leaky carafe to the grinder not making small grind ( large grind and bitter) also not grinding enough coffee bean to match the strength setting. As an example I have to pre grind a4 cup stop the machine from brewing and then grind a 12 cup on the strong strength setting. sucks that I can't get a cup of coffee the strength I want from this over priced thing
