Bottom Line: Coffee is so good I have to make more than one pot a day to keep up with the coffee lovers it has created in my house. No more coffee grounds all over the kitchen. Clean up's a breeze.
H Bruce Hartgers (quality: 3.0) 11.06.2006 Rating: 9.6
Bottom Line: Outstanding product, think criticism largely due to misuse, failure to follow detailed directions.
Russ Benblatt (quality: 7.8) 12.25.2001 Rating: 9.2

Bottom Line: Great middle of the road no fuss machine with nice features. It'd be improved if it had a battery backup for the brewing clock.

Bottom Line: Compared with Krups, which brews too cold (177F) and Kitchen Aid which brews too hot (194F)...Cuisinart Grind & Brew does the fresh griniding and pro

Bottom Line: Overall - a good cup of coffee
John Clarke 01.26.2004 Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: If you want a drinkable cup of coffee waiting for you when you get up this machine will do nicely, if you want coffee nirvana you probably shouldn't be looking at a drip machine anyway.
Michael Harmon (quality: 8.0) 01.05.2002 Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: With the exception of the LOUD grinder, this machine does everything one could ask to produce a very acceptable cup of joe.
Sherri Lyon (quality: 7.0) 09.15.2004 Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: Good, fresh-ground coffee when you wake up.

Maryjo Barnes (quality: 4.0) 04.01.2007 Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: The second machine was only warrantied for a short period and since it leakes all over the counter EVERY time we use the machine, just as the first one did, we will no longer buy this Cuisinart product.
Brian Combs (quality: 7.0) 01.17.2002 Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: Simple to brew; hard to clean.
Joyce Lee (quality: 5.0) 06.16.2000 Rating: 6.0

Bottom Line: Don't settle for this. Either buy something cheaper or go Technivorm and never have to deal with it again.
Anne (quality: 4.0) 03.08.2000 Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: coffee is too weak
Laura Y (quality: 6.3) 01.19.2005 Rating: 5.4
Bottom Line: Nice look, good coffee, but it all falls apart if the coffee is cold!
Erick Carpenter 12.12.2005 Rating: 5.2
Bottom Line: It certainly grinds and brews....but may not do either with extended use.
Ryan Byrne (quality: 7.0) 01.04.2007 Rating: 5.2
Bottom Line: Wouldnt buy this again. Cleaning it everytime is such a hassle, outwieghs the convenience.
G C (quality: 6.0) 11.28.2004 Rating: 5.2
Bottom Line: Just use a cheap blade grinder and a Mr. Coffee for similar coffee. Look elsewhere if you really want a quality cup.
David (quality: 6.0) 08.25.2001 Rating: 5.2
Bottom Line: Has all the bells and whistles but makes very weak coffee
Bryan Whitehead 12.23.2006 Rating: 4.8
Bottom Line: Magic machine - turns Starbucks beans into coffee that tastes like the Maxwell House in my mom's kitchen.
Adam Holmes (quality: 7.0) 01.07.2004 Rating: 4.8

Bottom Line: Good coffee, awesome thermal carafe, but NOT worth the time required to clean the messy grinding unit.
Jason West (quality: 6.0) 10.23.2005 Rating: 4.4

Bottom Line: This aesthetically pleasing kitchen showpiece helps detract your eyes from the coffee and grinds that ran down your kitchen cupboard - great for those that like to put their cleaning skills to a test!
Daniel Collins (quality: 3.0) 03.08.2005 Rating: 2.8

Bottom Line: THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST PIECE OF JUNK I HAVE POURCHASED IN MY LIFE! I USED IT 2X AND IT STARTED TO GAIN SOME CONDENSATION ON THE NICE SEE THROUGH GLASS ON THE TOP. NEXT THING I KNOW POP GOES THE FRONT DOOR OF THE FILTER BASKET. GRINDS ALL OVER THE PLACE.
Dennis Cheng (quality: 5.5) 10.05.2006 Rating: 2.2
Bottom Line: Looks cool and the idea is good, too bad execution is poor as the coffee is weak and cold. This is my second cuisinart appliance that has disappointed. I will no longer purchase their products.
Michael Barnett (quality: 6.0) 02.08.2002 Rating: 2.2
Bottom Line: Cuisinart put their name on a very poor quality coffee maker.

Bottom Line: If you like grounds in your coffee, coffee all over your counter, a machine that can't be fully or properly cleaned, this is the machine made special, just for you!
Phil Rose (quality: 7.3) 01.02.2002 Rating: 1.6
