Hold your ears
Grinder sounds like a jet engine. Otherwise a good coffeemaker.

We keep buying it
We’ve replaced this model three times. First didn’t work at all, second one grinder stopped working after two years, third one leaked from bottom and was as loud a a jet on takeoff when grinding the coffee. Why keep replacing? We like the grind and brew feature and it fits on our counter easily not being too tall.

We’re very sorry to hear about the repeated issues you’ve experienced and understand how frustrating that must be, especially since you value the grind‑and‑brew feature and compact design. We recommend regularly cleaning the grinder chamber to prevent jams, ensuring the water reservoir and seals are properly seated to avoid leaks, and descaling the unit as buildup can impact both performance and noise; our Consumer Assistance Center can review these concerns in more detail at 1‑800‑726‑0190, please reference your warranty replacement ticket #. Our team would be happy to discuss options and determine the best path forward. Thank you for sharing your feedback—it’s incredibly important to us and helps drive improvements in
Loud, weak and barely warm coffee
The grinder is too loud. I put hot water in carafe before brewing and coffee is still barely warm . There isn’t a heating element that carafe sits on . Th program does not offer for beeping to be turned off that signals coffee is done as with other cuisinart coffee makers. Coffee always tastes weak even after adding more beans. Do not buy this coffee maker.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about the grinder mess you're experiencing. This can sometimes happen if the chute or upper burr has residual grounds stuck inside, so running a thorough burr cleaning and ensuring the chute is fully clear before the next cycle often reduces buildup on the basket holder. Our Consumer Assistance Center can walk you through detailed cleaning steps and additional troubleshooting at 1‑800‑726‑0190. Ticket #8900572311. Thank you for your feedback, as it helps with future products.
Love my Coffee Maker!
Works great! No leakage from carafe.

Good except for the coffee pot
In general, this is a good grinder and coffee maker. My biggest complaint is that the coffee pot is impossible to fully drain the coffee and when you clean it, you cannot get all the water out. Is there a better replacement coffee pot?

Rocket ship in kitchen
Coffee has been great but the grinder is like a rocket ship taking off in the kitchen. Wakes up the whole house! So much noise Seems excessive. Had to cover my ears while standing next to it while the grinder was going.

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing Cuisinart. We’re glad to hear the coffee meets your expectations, though we’re sorry the grinder noise has been disruptive. For best results, ensure the unit is on a flat, stable surface and that all parts are properly secured, as this can help reduce vibration and sound during operation. If the noise seems excessive, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 so we can provide additional support.
Should be called Kitchen Alarm
I’m so disappointed! I have had these grind and brew coffee pots since they first came out. This new one is so NOISY, it woke up the whole household! Totally unacceptable, I rescued my old one from the garage and will stick with it. This is just not practical for an appliance that is used early in the morning! Cuisinart, you can do better!

Great Coffee Maker
Previous Cuisinart grind and brew lasted over 10 years. I purchased the same model hoping for similar longevity. I wash after every use, descale with vinegar when neeeded. This coffeemaker brew great tasting coffee! I did purchase a sliding tray to easily pull the unit from underneath the cabinet for easy filling/cleaning.
