I highly enjoy this product. The pot keeps coffee warm for half a day or so without the use of a hot plate. In addition, if you pre-heat the pot with hot water prior to brewing, it extends this time. I don't bother with that, as I mostly use this for coffee in the morning, but you are able to do so if you wanted to sit coffee throughout the day. The grind is consistent and of sufficient finest, the unit is easy to clean overall, and the program function works perfectly. The only complaint I have would be the design of the carafe, causing awkward pouring for the last half cup, or so, of coffee. I'm sure this was in compromise to maintain a good insulation in the design, and you can still get at that last little bit if you truly want, so I do not take away a star for this. a super easy workaround is to brew an extra half cup of coffee, and not worry about getting it out of the pot at the end. It's a very small compromise.Read full review

The grinder only grinds one grind wastes coffee beans. No matter how many cups you set in on it will brew until it’s empty of water. The thermal pot is awkward to pour from and no way to close it so it does not hold heat. It’s hard to open and clean. The beeper don’t beep when finished brewing. The grinder itself is very hard to clean and exceptionally loud when grinding. The display does not light up so you can’t see without a flashlight on it directly. Worst purchase I’ve ever made. I would feel guilty selling it to anyone wouldn’t even give it to my worst enemy. Just put it on a shelf to remind me not to buy another Cuisinart product. Miserable product.

The coffee is strong enough even set on the lowest setting and tastes great. The carafe keeps the coffee warm for hours and the 12 cup capacity is very convenient. The only down side is how loud it is while grinding the beans. It sounds like a stock car has fired up in my kitchen. I have never owned a grind and brew before so I have nothing to compare it to. I set the timer to start after we typically wake up. I really like this product and would make the purchase again.

This 12 Cup Cuisinart Coffee maker makes great coffee.Does not have gold filter and only a couple white filters. You need to order filters separately, but that okay. Bought the factory reman'd maker which is just like the factory new coffee maker and packaged the same as new. Love it! Would buy again!

Yes, it's the most expensive but it's worth it. The bean hopper is completely separate from the water reservoir so there's no condensation to ruin motor bearings or create a gummy mess in the grinder. The thermal carafe keeps the coffee drinkably warm for 2 hours. Hopper holds enough for 4-6 full pots. Have had mine for 2 years and it still works like new. You will love the auto brew function. Set it and wake up to fresh ground coffee. Yes...while grinding it's noisy. It serves as my alarm clock. It takes about 60 seconds to grind and 12 minutes to brew an entire pot.
