Design could be much better!
I purchased the product a week ago, just arrived and have used it several times. The unit makes great coffee, haven’t used the grinder option yet. The design isn’t so great as the grinder area will collect lots of condensation, so you’ll need to keep cleaning this area every time as it will probably form mold eventually. Decided to purchase another model without the grinder option as this extra step will become more annoying.

Happy Repeat Buyer
This is our third grind-n-brew coffee maker - they last about five years in daily service. The device delivers outstanding freshly brewed coffee, and because it grinds a pot at a time, a wide variety of coffee flavors are easy to make. We love the system.

Really great coffee maker
I purchased this coffee maker because I wanted to have a really good cup of coffee. I like the idea that you can put the beans in and have it grind and brew. Making coffee from fresh ground beans does produce a wonderful cup of coffee. I have used this for a couple weeks now and I truly am happy with it. The coffee has a deep Rich flavor. I would give it five stars except one thing. It is a 12 cup coffee maker, but the bean grinder only allows you to brew up to 8 cups. Otherwise I would give this five stars. Overall, this is a great product.

Second time around just as great
After 15 years I replaced my Grind & Brew 12 Cup with the same model, except the front is stainless steel instead of all black and much more attractive! The only reason I replaced my old one was I inadvertently threw away the lid to the filter basket. Rather than try to find/ purchase a replacement lid/basket assembly, I thought, “What the heck? Im just going to buy a new coffee maker!” So sad because my old one was still going strong, though a bit worn. But I love the new one just like my old one. I love the option of grinding whole coffee beans, which is my preferred method, or using already ground coffee, which comes in quite handy at times. I love the simplicity of using this coffee maker. Yes. One must clean/rinse and dry the basket and container holding the coffee beans after each use. But so worth it and so reasonably priced.

Finally - A Good Grind & Brew
Finally Cuisinart developed a coffee pot that doesn’t clog up and surprise you with a pot of hot water! It’s easy to clean the grinder and never clogs up. We love it!

A good replacement for a worn-out DGB-625
I purchased this unit to replace a DGB-625, which developed a leak after 15 years of reliable running. This unit has a goldtone filter, which I like and which wasn't included with the DGB-625 when I bought it. However, the build quality is slightly lower. The door to the filter feels loose when I open it, whereas that door to the DGB-625 was solid. Nevertheless, the new unit is working well and producing very good coffee. I can certainly recommend it.

Love fresh ground and brewed coffee!
Loved my old Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee maker. After over 15 years of great service it finally died. Replaced it with this new model and, so far, am again enjoying getting up to a pot of freshly brewed coffee from freshly ground beans. Like the coffee basket, eliminating need to use a paper filter.
