 Great cup of coffee July 2, 2008

We bought this coffee maker to replace the older version Cuisinart Grind & Brew. Some notable improvements:
- carafe does not leak. The old version would spill EVERY time we poured a cup of coffee. This version does pour slowly, as some reviewers have complained about, but does not spill. You also do need to take off the lid for the last cup, but I still consider that a great improvement.
- The bean holder/grinding mechanism doesn't need to be cleaned after every pot. We've only had the coffee maker a month, but have not had to do any maintenance cleaning on it get.
- quieter grind doesn't jar you awake before the fresh cup of coffee helps ease you into the morning.
The coffee is pretty strong, but you can adjust that by using more water than you set to grind. Not a big issue since we like strong coffee.
Overall a big improvement over the old version and the coffee tastes great.
 Buy locally cause you'll probably want to return it June 26, 2008

I have returned 2 of the 700 series w/ glass decanter within 1 week, such as heat plate not working, grinder not working. This 700 is a learning experience, rinse out the basket and spin thingy, place back in the coffee maker wet, and coffee grounds get wet, never make it through the tunnel to the basket, and you will get hot water only. Next, make a total mess taking everything apart, unclog the wet coffee grounds and beans, make another huge mess, cuss, and wish you could grab the idiot who designed this.
This has happened 3 times in less than a week before I found out to dry everything out the night b4, or you'll be sorry.
Sorry design & engineering, IMHO!
 Grinder defective, AGAIN June 15, 2008

Well, I did not buy this from Amazon, but I wanted to share my experience with it. I bought this pot back in October from Bed Bath and Beyond. I did not use the grind feature every day, just mostly on weekends, for most of its short life. The grinder ceased function in April, about 6 months of use. Now, I should have known this was going to happen, because a friend of mine had gone through two of them, then went back to the one without the bean hopper, for the same reason. She got hers about a year before me and from a different state. Well, I took it back and they gave me an even exchange. BBB couldn't have been better about it. Anyway, I have had that one for a month and this morning the grinder broke again. It gets a weak and pathetic sound and then you get dirty water out of it because the beans are not being ground.
I have never been particularly happy with the way the pot pours, it spills all over when you get to the bottom and the easiest remedy is to take the lid off to pour. I am very disappointed because I do like the machine, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have to take it back every couple of months!
 Easy to use, makes great coffee. June 10, 2008

I was slightly sceptical of this machine after reading some of the negative reviews, but I'm liking it better every day. Controls and settings are simple, straightforward and intuitive. The grinder seems to be top notch, producing nicely consistent grounds. I burned my tongue on my first sip, so unless you're some kind of heat freak, I think the coffee will be plenty hot enough. And just to compare, I made a pot of coffee this morning using previously ground coffee instead of whole beans. There really is no comparison. There is something mellow and smooth about a freshly ground bean that is like nothing else. And how much easier could it get? Put your freshly roasted beans in the hopper the night before, add the water, and set the timer. Personally, I hate the sound of alarm clocks, but I love waking up to the sound of this machine grinding away so I can stagger to the kitchen and enjoy top notch coffee before I'm even fully awake.
Overpriced and Flawed June 8, 2008

After having a $30 coffee maker for the last 7 years. I bought the Cuisinart maker, expecting good results. Nothing farther from the truth. The carafe is slow pouring and spills when pouring. When changing the coffee filter, the filter basket cover holds residual hot water spilling on you and the counter. The coffee taste was no better than the old coffee maker. Save your money.
