   I purchased this coffee maker to replace my coffee maker and grinder. Total mistake, do not buy for many reasons. 1. The grinder gets filled with water condensation from the coffee brewing, which means you have to remove the entire grinding until and wash it. Of course coffee grinds do not go down the drain, so you have to use paper towels to dig out all the wet coffee grinds and thoroughly wash after each use instead of being able to wipe out a DRY grinder with a towel. 2. As shown in the picture, the bottom of the grinder has a piece that turns the blade. It MELTED a month after using it. I ordered a new grinder thinking it would come with this piece. Nope. Now I have to waste my time over a stupid coffee maker to call the manufacturer and hope I can get this part. UPDATE: I emailed Conair (owner of Cuisinart) and this failed part is NOT available. So, now I own a door stop shaped like a “coffee maker.” 3. There is no way this is a 12-cup coffee maker! The grinder and basket capacity are more like a 6-cup. I made my first pot according to the directions and I could see through the brewed coffee. If I wanted coffee that tasted like watered dirt, I’d go my local tire shop (love my tire shop, but not the coffee). The entire reason I bought this coffeemaker was to replace two pieces of kitchen equipment with one. Do not waste your money on this pile of garbage. If you do buy it, do NOT throw away the box for when you return it. I cannot return since I do not have the original packaging.

   The coffee pot is beautiful and goes great in my kitchen. But it is pretty clear that Cuisinart doesn’t make their products as good as they used to. My old Cuisinart coffee maker/grinder lasted about 8 years. It still brews, but the grind button stopped working. So, I ordered this one. We immediately noticed it was made “cheaper” than the older model. The new one aesthetically look great and works just fine too. But within a week the stainless side panel is already popping out. We also noticed the no-drip carafe definitely DOES drip. Always spills a little bit onto counter while pouring. Going to keep it and hope the side panel doesn’t get worse. 🤞🏻 My Cuisinart food processor from the 80’s is still holding up great, so I have a little hope! I included pic of panel and of new model vs old model.

   There are things i really like about this unit…. charcoal water filter is nice for those of us on tap water (makes a difference). It looks nice and it brews well. BUT… it struggles to make a full pot without screwing up, unless you prefer weak diner-style coffee. The basket is either (a) not big enough, (b) poorly designed, or (c) both. For a 12 cup pot, ive had complete overflows (like, put onto the counter) at least 3 times and have had grounds in the pot at least a dozen times. Water delivery is too fast which makes grounds overflow the “lid” of the basket (made that way because of the grinder aspect) if there is an appropriate amount of coffee (1 scoop per cup). Additionally, the grinder works ok, but is difficult to clean. In fact, that is the central bullet point here—- this thing is MESSY to use. Lastly, the safety switch will not allow the maker to operate unless the grinder is in inplace, whether its being used or not. This design keeps the grinder bucket sopping wet at all times, requiring it be removed, cleaned, and DRIED *EVERY TIME* before it can be used. A real pain. TBH, for the price of this thing, I would definitely get something else… heck, maybe 6 or 7 something elses, since this one costs 6 or 7 times what a cheap manual pot does, and the coffee isnt any better. Ymmv i guess.

   This coffeemaker did not meet my expectations for the price I paid. Dated 2022 on box (literally) and of course, made in China with the housing cheap and flimsy especially the button that opens the basket holder. It keeps getting caught under the thin stainless steel panel and I have to pry it up through a hole with a sharp object to reopen. You have only 2 hours to finish your coffee if brewing a 12 cup or push this button and then push brew as it starts to try and brew another pot again just so you can heat beyond 2 hours. Design is flawed in my opinion. Even the pot lid must be completely pulled off to clean as it will not raise up by thumb or otherwise. Coffee is hot, you will need to configure the right amount of beans for your perfect cup. The grinder is loud but all grinders are. There is a clanking at times while brewing and not sure exactly where that comes from. I don’t think this product will give me my value as I see in person how much plastic is used but I will not return. It takes too long for a refund and I’ll order straight from the Company from now on, probably a different maker, and you can guess why. Additionally, and several months later, this coffeemaker will not last. I am constantly squeezing the plastic side in and despite cleaning with a brush, the grinder has too many splits in the bowl that creates spaces for coffee to forever reside. Made in China 2023 per shipping box. From now on with my future coffeemaker purchases, it will be USA made and made quality materials. No matter the cost. This one will need replacing in a year so cost will equal out in good service a new one will bring to the family.

   I was tired of buying pods. I have used coffee grinders when using a drip coffee maker in the past and was on board with one unit that does both. The pros and cons: Pros: 1) The brewed coffee has great flavor as expected. 2) The warming plate temperature is perfect because even after two hours, the coffee still tastes hot and fresh. 3) The stainless finish is nice (just as described). 4) I’m always a fan of 2 -in-1 appliances; less stuff on the counter. Cons: 1) As other reviewers noted, there are a lot of parts to clean (i.e., 2 grinder parts, 2 basket parts, and of course, the coffee pot itself). I am using the reusable basket, so a paper filter may avert cleaning that one part. 2) At the end of the cycle, occasionally, there will be a whole bean or two left in the grinder (hence the rating on the grinder power). Not sure why this is happening. I’ve only had the coffee maker for a week, but so far I’m pleased overall and very happy with the flavor of the brewed coffee.

   ミル付き珈琲メーカー、なかなか使いやすいです。豆からでも、粉からでも、淹れたて美味しかったです。この製品、ガラスビーカー式なので洗いやすいところがよく、保存は別売の魔法瓶を使ってます。注文つけたい所は、引いた珈琲をドリップする時に、ミルの部分に蒸気が通る為に、水蒸気が溜まっていちいち拭き取らなければならない点が残念です。

   It’s a well made coffee brew/grinder combination. However, like many of the glass pot coffee makers on the market, the hot plate isn’t adjustable.

   I’ve had cuisinart coffee makers before and that is why I got this one. Love it as it makes great coffee, does grind and brew, it’s easy to clean up, and easy to set up.
   

9. Robin Fox Verified Buyer – 27 March 2025

   While it makes good tasting coffee (although that primarily has to do with the bean itself), brews quickly and grinds don’t overflow if making less than 10 cups, there are some negatives to it. First, it did not come with an instruction manual so I had to look some things up online and also called the manufacturer to send me a manual which I have still not received. Second, it does not keep the coffee very warm. And last, the grind function is an automatic function, so if you use ground coffee and program it to brew and forget to turn the grind off, that will be your VERY LOUD alarm in the morning.

    This is my second Cuisinart coffee maker and is just as easy to use. Hopefully this one will last as long (over 20 years my first one). Makes great tasting coffee, both from whole beans and ground. Only comment is there was no water filter in the filter holder

    Estoy muy satisfecho con esta cafetera. La calidad es excelente, el café se prepara rápidamente y el aroma al momento de hacerlo es delicioso. Su molino integrado garantiza frescura en cada taza. ¡Una gran compra para los amantes del buen café! El tiempo para hacer 10 tazas de agua es de 10 minutos aproximadamente, incluye el tiempo de moler el café.

    This coffee pot is made for whole bean coffee, but there is also a button to bi-pass the grinder and use regular coffee grounds. As should be expected, it is a bit loud during the grinding process. Just be aware if you set the program to go off early morning.lol. We love the one-step process. Makes great coffee. Great value for the money!
