Cuisinart Burr Grind and Brew 10 Cup Coffee Maker

I bought this earlier this year and have a love hate relationship with it. I love the convenience of fresh ground coffee but it uses too many beans to make 1 pot of coffee. It probably uses 4-5 times more coffee to make a pot vs normal pre ground coffee. I have no idea what the strength settings do as the ground size does not change based on the setting. I thought spending more on a burr grinder would be beneficial but most of my ground coffee is small “chunks” of coffee vs fine ground coffee.

We purchased our first grind and brew coffee machine weeks ago. We are enjoying the simple process of pouring our favorite beans and making as little as 2 cups or as many as 10 cups . If you prefer pre ground coffee you can shut off the grinder. A great feature!

Have had this maker for quite some time now and absolutely love it! Before going to bed, I set the timer for 15 minutes before my alarm clock is set to go off in the morning. Nothing beats getting up in the morning to the aroma of fresh coffee. Except maybe coming back into the house after walking the dog and having another wonderful cup when I am cold.

Coffee is ground to only one level; cannot be ground finer for more robust coffee. Coffee is not very hot and does not stay hot in carafe.

It's a great coffee maker. The only reason it get 4 stars and not 5 is because you cannot manipulate the grind and the percolation doesn't seem to extract as much out of the coarse grinds as I would prefer. However I'm the type of person who wants their dark roast coffee to be strong enough to show up on a drug test... soo, yeah it's a great machine

Really like this machine, and the type of grinder does make a difference on the quality of our coffee

Don’t care for it very hard to clean, Pot doesn’t fit in dishwasher. Also it doesn’t keep the coffee hot more like Luke warm. I am sorry I purchased it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use and clean and coffee tastes great! Coffee doesn't stay as hot as I thought it would in the pot and I didn't realize the coffee maker shut off as soon as it was done brewing but not a problem.

I have owned a Cuisinart Grind and Brew for many years. After many years, when I have to replace them, the model seems to improve. This is the best version yet. It is so much easier to clean and maintain. The thermal carafe has also improved; It doesn't drip like the old one. A thermal carafe is so much better than the old hot plates that used to burn the coffee in the glass carafes. I know it's an expensive purchase, but the quality of the coffee I have every morning is outstanding. It is well worth the investment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. Bought as a replacement. Couldn’t do without it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very satisfied with our Burr Grind & Brew coffee maker. Easy to operate with great results of excellent coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is simply the best coffee maker I have ever used. The coffee is fantastic. the burr grinding makes all the difference. I have used the blade version of this in the past and find this newer machine is much quieter. Of course you still hear the grinding process, but you don't wake up the whole house. I like a dark rich cup of coffee and this machine delivers coffee shop quality coffee, perhaps better. You can adjust the strength of your coffee very early so there is no issue here for your lighter cup preferences.I am very happy with this purchase and recommend it highly. Keep the hopper full and you won't have any issues with running out of beans. The thermal pot keeps your coffee hot all day long, yes all day, so you can enjoy that mid afternoon cup without having to remake a pot.

The carafe for this machine is terrible. love thermal carafes for coffee. However, the pouring feature of this carafe is awful. When pouring from this carafe, coffee spills out regularly. Don’t pour it over important papers or clothing. Pour it over something you can wipe it up because more often than not, it's going to spill. This is especially true for the last little bit of coffee in the carafe. You have to turn the thing upside down to get all the coffee to pour out. This also causes a spill. The carafe is poorly designed. It is hard to imagine why such an impressive machine was put on the market with such a poorly designed carafe. Most disappointing, when I contacted Cuisinart and shared my feedback, I was brushed aside. I was told that if I didn't like it, I could try returning it to the store where I bought it. How about listening to your customers and designing a better product? If I had it to do over again, I would choose a different brand. I will not buy another Cuisinart machine until they produce a better product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is always the best coffee maker. I have strayed to other brands but I will never try another!!

I bought this a month ago and am happy overall but the only way you can make a full 10 cups is to select 8 cups on the grind but fill with 10 cups water in the reservoir. Selecting any more than 8 cups of ground coffee overflows the basket with coffee grounds and you end with grounds all over. Also if you don’t get the pot perfectly positioned under the basket plunger the brew flows over the pot and ends up all over the counter and floor like it did for me.

I have only had this for a couple weeks. I love the grind and brew and all the settings but it only works once in awhile. Called the number for help had me unplug for a few minutes and try it again while they were on the phone and it worked at that particular time but have had several more different issues off and on.I had an older model years back and it worked wonderful. I wanted this one because of the set brew time feature but this only works once in awhile. I am going to have to call again but I am hoping to just return it for a full refund. I really don't feel like playing with it for overtime I want to use it. Very disappointed.

I had the same Cuisinart Coffee maker a few years ago and I love the new model! It is a better model. The coffee is delicious too!

I was making my third pot of coffee this morning with my Cuisinart burr grind coffee maker paying close attention because it was also my third one of this model. The first two didn't work at all and I had to send them back for replacement. This one worked fine for two times but this morning it ground the appropriate amount of beans, paused and then went into a second grind. I will never buy any Cuisinart product again and I don't want a replacement that I know won't work. It was a lot of wasted money. I have purchased a Black and Decker replacement that I am sure will work just fine.

I bought this coffee maker a month ago to replace a Breville Grind & brew that went south. I knew that did not want to buy another of that same model because it was high maintenance. So far I love my decision because it is very simple to figure out how to make excellent coffee the way you like it. The only thing I do not like is that you must add the amount of water for the amount cups you are brewing every time. Meaning if you fill the 10 cup reservoir and only want to brew 4 cups, this machine is going to grind beans for four cups but drain all of the water in the reservoir.

This replacement was for the Burr Grind & Brew Coffee Maker which stopped working a little over a month ago. Since the old unit was still under warranty, we received a replacement. It is working properly and as advertised, and we hope it will serve us for the next few years.
