My Even Better Cuisinart Coffeemaker
I've had a Cuisinart grind & brew for many years...it was still working but the grinder seemed to be wearing out. I felt it was time to replace it eventhough I've kept it as a back-up if needed.
I like the new hopper type and I especially like that it is 12 cups...previously I had a 10 cup. I'm still learning about it but it does make great coffee and is fully adjustable for strength and # of cups. The additional features are appreciated.

Great Pot
This is the second coffee maker of this type that I have bought. Like the fact that it does everything on it's own..Have heard it is bad because it leaves a little of the ground coffee on the outside of the basket lid...why is that a problem? Unless these people do not clean their basket after each use. Since you have to take out the filter anyway I just rinse the basket and lid before I put another paper filter in so it is ready to run when I want it to make coffee.

Great coffee!
Wonderful fresh-brewed coffee ready when I get up in the morning! And, still hot hours later, the taste is still great thanks to the metal carafe!

At long last, a super coffe maker.
An improvement over the last Grind Cuisinart Coffee Maker. Lets us choose the brew strength, and number of cups. For some of our friends the strength may not be strong enough, but I will get out our old burr grinder. For us it is great. Convenience, operation, and being able to wake up in the morning to a great cup or coffee.

Measure space
I wouldn't order this without measuring the space under your cabinet. I've never walked into anyones kitchen that didn't have their coffe maker on the counter under a kitchen cabinet but this one doesn't fit under mine. I will probably return this one, not happy!!!

Reliable, easy to use and great coffee!
This is the second Cuisinart Grind and Brew I have bought. I keep one at each house so I don't have to remember how to use it depending where I am at the time. Every so often I have to clean the ground coffee out of the shoot but it's a small effort. The only thing I dislike about the machine is it is so tall that it doesn't fit under the cabinet at one of the houses. I had to place it on a side table so now I have a coffee station and the counter top is not so cluttered.

Don't Trust Customer Service
When I received this product the lid to put the water in could not be opened without removing the cover over the coffee beans. The coffee bean cover also did not seal. (Yes, I did have the bean cover turned in the correct direction.) When I called Cuisinart customer service about the lid problems the women I talked to put me on hold to see how one worked and came back telling me that this was the same way it worked on the one she looked at (she also had to take the bean lid off before she could open the lid to put the water in) - so there was nothing she could do. Similarly, she told me the lid on the beans just sat on top and did not seal in any way. I had a hard time believing this so I went back to a retailer and found none of this was true.
I am probably being a bit picky but now when I press a button to open the filter holder I need to pull it open because it sticks.
I have used the unit for two weeks and the coffee does taste good. Oh, and I noticed no difference without the water filter so I will not be worrying about replacing this every few months. Maybe if you had really hard water, used well water, made really weak coffee or something you can tell a difference but I would try it out before I bought more replacement filters.
Summary: Coffee is good if you luck into a working unit, but you might be lied to when you talk to the Cuisinart customer service.
