I think this is the best.... November 10, 2008

The Cuisinart Grind and Brew....Contrary, to the lame reviews that the 1 and 2 star people have given to this coffee maker, I have found this maker to brew the best and Hottest cup of coffee I have ever had out of a home coffee maker. Yes, great taste, that we couldn't get out of our past Mr. Coffee's. Yes, you have to clean it and there are a few hidden spots that you have to find at first. BIG friggin deal!! After cleaning it a couple times, it takes 2 minutes max to get the job done and ready for the next cup of coffee. There has never been an issue with cleaning the coffee filter area as others seem to have had a problem with. The thing just works GREAT!! We're using it in a work environment. This means that it's used at least 3 or 4 times a day. While there are people at my office that look at it and look like confused Scooby Doo's, these are the same as the 1 or 2 star people....They just give up if they have to do anything out of the ordinary in life.
So, don't be afraid to buy this great Cuisinart Coffee Maker! You won't be disappointed...It's so consistent from use to use as well. GO FOR IT!

I have this coffee maker. It makes mediocre coffee at best and doesn't keep it hot. I would not purchase it again.
Looks good on paper, not in real life. Don't mix grinding and brewing in one machine, god didn't intend it! July 29, 2008

I've had this model for about 4 years now and stopped using it after a few months due to the weak coffee and the mess you have to clean up everytime. I moved to Germany for a year after this and packed it away. Coffee in europe will make you hate the weak result from this model even more!
After returning, I decided to give it a try again and this time have come to a better way to use this maker with better results. I no longer use the integrated grinder, I find it grinds to course and that mixed with the reusable filter allows to fast of a brew leading to weak coffee. So now I grind with my old grinder, get a nice fine grind, then use a good ol' fashioned paper filter. I get much better results, albeit not great still. So, now its just a regular coffee maker again that was overpaid for.
Now I have to deal with the problem about the constant burned coffee I get due to the hotplate running to hot I guess. I was thinking of getting a stainless carafe for it, but it costs $50 on amazon - I don't even know if this is compatible. So, now its time to get a Mr. Coffee with stainless thermal carafe and for $50. I'm sure it will make good coffee too.
Sorry Cuisinart - stick to food processors and ice cream makers - not much to screw up there.
Cuisinart Grind and Brew is an excellent way to start your day July 24, 2008

Excellent coffeemaker - can't find a thing wrong with it. Would recommend this to anyone. Price is right also. Nothing like a freshly ground cup of coffee each morning.
 I like it July 20, 2008

I saw some pretty bad reviews for this product after I bought it but I like it. Yes, you need to clean the grinder, the filter container and the pot but you would need to clean that on any grinding coffee pot anyway. Yes, the grinder is loud, but aren't all grinders. There isn't a way to control the consistancy of the grounds but they have always been very fine and produced good coffee.
If anything its a bit too fine. I want to buy a permanent filter for it but I am worried the grounds may go through it. Has anyone come across this problem?
