BEST coffee maker I’ve ever had bar none…..brews the perfect cup everytime, and it’s the freshest cup of coffee you’ll ever have with grinding the beans….The Burr Grinder is actually pretty quiet as well, it won’t wake the neighbors when it’s programmed for early morning! Great job yet again Cuisinart!

Sadly, after about 10 years, our burr and grind coffee maker started having problems. We were quite bummed that our model was no longer being made, and the price had appreciated significantly. Well, we bit the bullet and ended up upgrading with the new model. The grinding is slightly less loud, but the entire grinding/brewing array is much easier to use and clean. The quality of the coffee continues to be excellent. Our one ‘regret’ is that the new model doesn’t come with a 12-cup stainless carafe. We truly enjoyed that feature, even if pouring from it was a pain.

I like that I can use either whole bean or ground coffee. It will hold a large(about 1/2 lb) of whole beans. No need to fill it every day. You can adjust the strength for that perfect cup. Set up and cleaning the filter holder and carafe are easy. The grinder is quiet, unlike other whole bean grinders. I would definitely recommend this coffee pot.

I love my new Cuisinart Burr Grind & Brew™ 12-Cup Coffeemaker! It makes delicious coffee and is easy to use and clean. I’ve setup the automatic brew feature so it’s ready for us when we get up each morning. I love the smell of coffee brewing as we walk in the kitchen! So glad I choose this brand and model. Having coffee from freshly ground every morning is pure heaven!

I absolutely love the convenience of grinding and brewing in the same appliance, and being able to select the cup size of the brew. The only reason for 4 stars is for the fact that you cannot fill the reservoir for multiple brews. You can only fill it with the amount you intend to brew at that instance. Each morning, you have to add water.

I’ve had Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee makers for 25 years. Our last one recently died and they don’t make it anymore. I got the closest one and we were disappointed from day one. It leaked constantly and we had to return it. Trying another one without the grinder since I don’t trust it won’t happen again. Plus the design changed and it is not as attractive as the Burr grinder on top.

I always thought I was getting good coffee until I purchased this new model. Now, I'm getting great coffee! I've been using the older model Grind and Brew with the blade grinder for many, many years. They each lasted from 2 to 4 years before replacement. The older model was a pain to clean after each brew. Cuisinart has made some great improvements. This new model makes much better coffee, is easier to use, and is very easy to clean.

I bought a new grind and brew because my old Cuisinart grind and brew died after 7 years. It works as it should. However, the carafe will not allow you to pour without dripping, it's impossible to pour cleanly. Fortunately, I kept the old carafe and use it with the new coffeemaker. This carafe doesn't drip.

Love this machine. We buy whole coffee beans and wake up to fresh ground coffee in the morning. This model is easy to clean and fill. We always use the gold filter basket. I think the paper ones don't drain through fast enough as we would get some grounds in the pot.

I had the previous model for many years and when it finally gave up the ghost (leaking for some reason when it made coffee), I wanted the same coffee machine. Of course it had been "updated" and we have had a problem getting the carafe seated correctly under the filter basket so that it doesn't miss the hole in the lid of the carafe and leak when coffee is brewing. Seems the hot plate was made larger but there is ring that the carafe needs to be positioned in. This is very far back on the hot plate and a bit difficult to get the carafe set into correctly. Our guests who are not familiar with this requirement have had their coffee spill out and all over the counter, down the cabinets and onto the floor, often wasting at least 1/2 pot of brewed coffee.
