Love it!, November 24, 2009
I love this coffeemaker. It's upright design makes it counterspace-friendly. The washable filter included gives the coffee a more robust flavor. I love that I have an option to use whole beans or ground coffee, but if I want to use whole beans I can do so without needing a seperate grinder. I am very happy with this coffeemaker.
Great coffee every day, November 24, 2009
I like freshly ground coffee. I like my coffeemaker to do this prior to my getting out of bed. Cuisinart's grind and brew is a great, everyday workhorse. I have had 3 of Cuisinarts grind and brews and they last at least 3 years. The new one better than the last one and I thought the last one was very good. My only complaint is that you cannot adjust the temperature of the warmer.
Good product, great price, November 19, 2009
I wanted a grind-and-brew coffee maker for the longest time. Very happy with the product, it's easy to use and clean, and looks great in the kitchen. Love that I can wake up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee. The only thing is that it's pretty loud when it grinds the beans.. it definitely can double as an alarm clock!
Greatest Coffeemaker, November 12, 2009
This coffeemaker is the best we have had! Makes 12 Cups, beautiful design, easy to keep clean, and makes the best coffee! I would recommend this coffeemaker to everyone who likes to grind their own beans.
Great while it lasts., November 5, 2009

I received this coffee maker for Christmas, and loved it from the start. It was convenient, fun and made great coffee. Then, the grinder stopped working, and the company replaced the coffeemaker for me immediately. About a year later, the grinder again stopped working, and the company again replaced it for me. (the service is great.) After the 3rd coffeemaker also, the company again would have been happy to replace it for me a 3rd time, but, unfortunately, our 3-year warranty had expired. If you want to continue replacing your coffeemaker ad infinitum, you will love it as long as you have it available.
