 Don't bother April 24, 2008
S. Blair
Much like everyone else, I had high hopes that were soon dashed after the first couple times using the unit.
1) The grinder doesn't hold enough beans
2) You must use the "strong" setting to get a decent strength brew
3) Cleanup is a pain and must be done everytime. Seems like the beans might be getting too humid when stored in the grinder overnight
4) The grinder sends grounds down a chute that gets clogged up easy
5) It sounds like a jet aircraft when it starts grinding
If I had anything decent to say, it woudl be that if you grind separately, and use the "strong" setting, it works OK as a standard drip maker.
Loud with bad coffee March 17, 2008

I was given a Mr. Coffee Grind and Brew 15 years ago. It lasted 10+years and made decent coffee, but sounded like an airplane when it ground the beans. We replaced it with a Melita Mill and Brew which worked good for 3 years until the lid clasp broke off. Then we were given this for Christmas. They still haven't quitted it down. One of the first things we liked about the Melita was that it was quitter and easier to clean because the grounds stay in one place.
We probably could have lived with the airplane noise, but the coffee was bad. It was very weak. Three different people made coffee with it and none of it was any good. We made about 10 different pots and one was OK. There isn't enough room for the grounds and many of the grounds stayed in the grinder. We would empty the basket and the top of the grounds were still dry. There are plenty of other grind and brews out there don't waste your time, money or coffee with this one.

We bought this item at Target. We returned it after a month of use because the grinder stopped working. We got another one. The same thing happened. We tried one more. This one lasted the longest 5 months. It died yesterday. I cannot justify 60 dollars on this coffeemaker. It would be more fun to watch that money swirl down the toilet.
Still Looking for the best Grind and Brew March 5, 2008

I was very disappointed with this coffee maker. I replaced it after few short months. The coffee was just awful! I scoffed at the other reviews with the tasteless coffee due to perhaps the type of beans they were using. I was wrong. I do not recommend this machine Along with more Cuisinart coffee makers than I care to admit to....the best grind and brew is the Melitta 10 cup (how I wish for a 12 cup from them) programmable...not the expensive one. It makes GREAT tasting coffe. You can choose your coffee strength, etc. etc. Also easy clean. I came out to purchase one today as I had replaced the Mr. Coffee with yet another Cuisinart....which after regular cleaning and only about 6 months takes a hour to brew a pot. But I digress. This is supposed to be about the Mr. Coffee. A poor, poor appliance.
very disappointed January 16, 2008

After 1 yr. my Mellita grind/brew (using it daily) needed to be replaced due to a leak. Thought I'd give Mr. Coffee a try. #1 The grinder sounds like a 747 taking off, #2 Even on the "stong" setting the coffee is very weak. #3 you have to use a couple tbsp. more beans than I had to in my Mellita. #4 The whole bean chamber is much more bulky & difficult to clean. So,I'm back to my favorite, Mellita grind & brew, even if I have to purchase another one in a years time.
