It makes great (strong) coffee just like I like it. Occassionally, a few beans might spill into the reservoir, but when you fill it with water, they float and are easily retrieved.
You just have to clean it before you need to use it again so that it dries completely. As far as cleaning the parts goes, I have always cleaned my coffee maker between uses.
I was shocked to see so many negative reviews of this coffee maker. I've never had any problems with getting the coffee grounds in the water reservoir.
I highly recommend this coffee maker. I've had mine for over 5 years and love it.
In all these years, the only time it has run over on the counter top is when I forgot to put the pot on the hot plate.
The coffee it makes is the best ever. I got this coffeemaker as a Christmas gift, and I have to say it was my favorite gift. I love it.
This is great customer service - a no haggle warranty simply by calling the 800 number and getting a UPS package. Something happened to the drip stop and one call to Cuisinart provided a free new inner grinder assembly - simply based on the serial number. The second I have now had for two years and always washed it in the dishwasher.
In this case I felt compelled. On the other hand it provides a high temperature brew, a build-in grinder, a low profile and a THREE year warranty. Let me preface this with saying that I usually do not write reviews.
The fist unit I had did not close correctly - no issue it was exchanged immediately - no hassle. Did I mention the coffee - After some trial I have it down pat - six spoons of eight o'clock Columbia coffee beans to 8 cups of water - heavenly.My wife tries me to drink Starbucks out of convenience, but I'd rather make a better cup at home.I am sold on this unit, especially based on the service provided by the manufacturer and the great coffee it makes. This coffee maker is not without flaw.
It needs to be cleaned when the grinder is used between pots.
I should have researched it. One time I made about 5 cups and the tase was good. I have been wanting a Grind and Brew Machine. I agree and though I increased the coffee strength it did not really improve. I purchased this on November 27.
I am going to return it for a refund. I've tried brewing with and without a paper filter several times and it no longer works correctly. I only made 2 or 3 cups each use. It took 20 minutes for the mugs worth amout of coffee water to filter through. That must have something to do with the foreign manufacturing. I checked for clogs and I checked to see if the decanter was misplaced. The coffee flavor bar adjuster knob only begins at 4 cups which is also the off position. The water sits in the filter and slowly drips into the decanter.
It was listed for $49.99. However the coffee no longer drains into the decanter. I'm going to keep my old Mr.Coffee and just get a new grinder. There are a lot of parts to clean and dry every time you decide to make coffee. Someone mentioned that the coffee tasted watery.
Not my fault they sent something other than what I ordered. Ordered on Amazon and received another model. Returned but was charged shipping. This is very good grind & brew machine. Will not order again. Unfortunately, Cruisnart has discontinued this model. We had one for several years and when it quit on us, we tried to buy another one. We need this model because of limited height restrictions.
