After 8 years it finally died (only due to the hoses that connect the water to the heating element they fell apart). This has been the best coffee maker we have ever owned. We are going down to sears to get another one today. Can't go without my coffee. We made 1 to 2 pots a day every day, except when...

Most Helpful Critical Review

Instead of purchasing the instant coffee, I decided to get a grind/brew coffee maker. I have been looking around to compare different brands and models, and I chose Cuisinart because most of my small kitchen appliances are from this manufacture. This coffee maker is able to grind the coffee bean into...

Cuisinart Premier Coffee Series Grind/Brew... Reviews

Displaying reviews 1 - 13 of 20 in total

I set out to find a new coffee pot that was able to auto grind my coffee beans.  Friends recommended another brand but it was way out of our budget.  The Cuisinart Grind & Brew is economical, looks good on the counter and is easy to clean.  Leaving the house without shutting off the coffee machine is no longer an issue, the grind and brew does it for me. Be sure to read the instructions.

4 years and running strong!

I've used this coffee maker for 4 years, almost every morning and it's still the best coffee maker I've ever owned. I love the inset bean grinder. I use it as my morning alarm because I am such a light sleeper. I set it for 6:30am every day and the coffee is hot and ready by 6:35am. I would reccomend this item to anyone. I got it from Sears on sale for almost half price too! :)

That's how long I've been using this model. I actually bought a second one last year, but not because the first one broke (it was white and over time it showed stains). I did research on a lot of other models before I bought my second one and I am still convinced this is the best model for fresh ground coffee brewing. It has never let me down. Yes, there are some things that could be better, but the benefits outweight the negatives:

Pros:

  • Reliability
  • Better tasting coffee
  • Fresh pot each morning, on schedule
  • Good warranty
  • Doubles as an alarm clock!

Cons:

  • Steam backs up into the grinding elements...

Automatic shut off a plus 1-4 hr. Gold strainer to filter taste. Easy to clean. Alarm loud enough but not too much. Grinder slightly loud but haven't used it to grind beans yet. Excellent coffee, and lots of it....yum!

GREAT COFFEE MAKER!

This is such a great coffee maker that I have two; one at home and one at the office.  It makes great coffee and is easy to clean.  Would not want to live without it.

We loved this coffee maker when we got it, we cleaned it regularly in and out, but now after 1 year and 5 months the water pump died, it finely gave a squeal and we unplugged it.  We thought that spending more money to buy a quality product we would have a product that would last longer than the cheaper $20 coffee makers we had purchased in the past.  Let me write that the cheaper maker lasted longer than this one. I guess we will go back to a stove top purculator, I know my stove will last its a Kenmore.  Cuisinart has lost our business.

Perfect!

I like my coffeemaker. I don't use alarm clock any more. I wake up with the sound of grinder right on time! My coffee is perfect every morning with this coffeemaker.

Great Coffee!!!

This is an awesome coffee maker.  We bouught it almost a year ago and it still works great.  The only complaint I have, is that it is too loud :(.  Other than the noise, it is a really good investment!!!

Not user friendly

This coffee maker was to be a lovely addition to our newly renovated kitchen. It requires daily complete washing and drying and the lid on the carafe has to be twisted and removed to pour each cup. Way too labor intensive.

Outstanding product

This 12 Cup Grind and Brew coffeemaker is an outstanding product. It has many features and is easy to operate. The 0 to 4 hour shut off option is really convenient. And the auto-brew feature is as easy as setting up the time and hitting a button. A light lets you know that it is set to auto-brew. The grind feature can be turned off, if you are using pre-ground coffee.

Cuisinart Grind&Brew

This is my first automatic grind and brew coffemaker. I am very pleased with the results. The parts that require cleaning are dishwasher safe and the whole system is easy to use and clean. I thought the grinder woud be noisier than it is and it is thorough and fast. The resulting coffee is excellent. I use only premium beans and filtered water for coffee anyway so this makes me a superior coffee. I bought one for my brother for a present and his family now also enjoys the ease of having fresh and excellent coffee.

Cuisinart Grid & Brew

This is my 2nd Brind and Brew type of coffee pot system and I am so happy that I bought it! The filter really gives the coffee a bright and crisp flavor, the best I've had in a long time. The grinder is much quieter that I thought it would be and so easy to clean. The pot has a very comfortable handle for ease of pouring and the spout has not dribbled or dripped when I'm done filling my mug. The adjustable timer is wonderful!

Not worth the money

Finally returned this coffeemaker and will never buy a Cuisinart Coffeemaker again! The caraf spout is not big/wide/deep enough, therefore the coffe pours down the pot front. The coffee is not hot enough and the shape of the filter dosn't concentrate the coffee grounds enough. I think the cone shaped coffee filters are the best for coffee strength. The worst quality with this appliance is the grind and brew feature. The bean grinder consistently had moisture and then clogged consistently. Also, hard to clean out the grinder and refill after every use. The bean grinder doesn't hold enough beans.... read full review »
