good but messy
Most days I am happy with my Cuisinart all in one grinder brewer coffee machine. It grinds right there in the machine and you don't have to transfer from a separate grinding machine into the coffee machine. That is very convenient and saves the mess of spilling coffee grounds all over the place while you are desperate for your first cup of coffee. UNfortunately, the mesh filter inside the grinding chamber gets clogged up with coffee grounds, and you basically have to clean it or at least wipe it every time. So the convenience of self-grinding is nearly canceled out by the inconvenience of all the cleaning, which is also very messy. When I bought this there were few others like it on the market. Now there are many others which are a bit ... Read More
Don't waste your money
I love a good cup of freshly ground "strong" coffee. If you like strong coffee, this is not the coffee maker for you. It only hold enough bearns to make 3 cups (6 ounce cups). If you attempt to make more than 3 cups, you best be prepared to get out the tools to take it apart to clean. The coffee grinds goes everywhere except where you can easily clean it up.
I currently have this in a box in my garage. It will stay there.
Great Grind and Brew!
I absolutely love this coffee machine! The coffee this machine brews tastes great and the carafe keeps it very hot. The last machine I had turned off after an hour. That drove me crazy constantly having to turn the machine off and back on to give myself more time for hot coffee. I have returned to my carafe after a few hours and still have a cup of great-tasting, hot coffee. If you are after a simple coffee maker, this one is not it. There are quite a few parts to wash, but I pop them, in the dishwasher and am on my way. The noise? What do you expect from a grind and brew? If you don't want noise, buy a standard coffee maker. If you are after a good cup of coffee, I would highly recommend this machine.
It's great, but very unforgiving!
I've had and used it daily for 2 years. The coffee is great and it has spoiled me as I never order coffee out anymore. The pot is also very unforgiving. If you forget the filter, use a double filter instead of one, forget to put the carafe in place or forget to shut the basket door firmly, you wake up to the great smell of coffee and it's always all over the floor. The carafe will keep coffee hot for several hours and I've found that it only takes a couple of minutes to clean the unit. When the time comes, I'll definitely replace this one with another one, because it makes the best coffee.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 100 times, shame on you-know-who...
That's it, I've had it. After my Thermal Grind and Brew overflowed this morning--spilling coffee all over my tile counter (where my grout is permanently stained), my floor (where the carpet has similar stains), and even up into my walls, where the coffee has seeped during particularly bad spills--I decided I'd had enough. But then, I've said the same thing countless times before, and like an idiot, I keep coming back for some reason.
My wife and I have had this unit since shortly after it was released. Immediately, I loved it many good qualities which others have pointed out--convenience of the grinder, taste of freshly-ground beans, the timer, etc. But I quickly tired of washing the numerous pieces, which often don't come clean ...
