Cuisinart Coffee Makers Grind & Brew™ 12 Cup Automatic Coffeemaker

It was purchased on Cyber Monday. It has a choice of how long it remains on before automatic shut-off, as well as the option of beans or preground coffee. Having to turn the grinder off first every time is one of the drawbacks. The grinder is very loud when it turns on. It is lounder than my nutrabullet. Every time this machine is used, the grinder cup collects a lot of water. Put the excessove condensation from the grinder cup out to dry. It is definitely a major con. We only freshly grind beans a couple times a month, so I would have chosen a machine without the grind option. If you want to make pots of fresh ground every day, you need to purchase this machine.

I think it’s the worst coffee pot in the world. I don’t like this coffee pot because it’s too tall to fit under my cabinet, it grinds everything you put in the grind area, and you can’t store coffee in the grind area for later use. I have asked for a replacement, but they won’t because they have to clean the grind area every now and then. I wouldn’t want another one of these if they replaced it. Don’t buy this coffee machine. It’s not good to wake up and have to make coffee in a machine, that’s not how anyone wants to start their day.
