   This is a great coffee pot, I love it!!!

   When grinding your beans, just gently tap the gray pod before sliding out. It will compact the coffee grinds slightly so nothing spills when taking it out.

   This is a fairly compact machine with a footprint equal to or smaller than most standard coffee makers. I like integrated grinder, water container, one-cup service and quick brew, as well as the option to use the insert for a pod (even if I never use it). Unlike some reviews, so far I have not had grinding spillage around the base of the grinder. I like that I have water and beans ready to go each morning. Just grind, install grinding cup, brew. Overall, this is a neat little machine, which I enjoy using. I used a grinder and 12-cup coffee maker for years, then stopped when I didn’t want to grind and brew for just one or two cups – plus they both took up much-needed counter space. Following are some points to consider before purchasing. These are why this is a 4-star and not a 5-star review. See photos, too. Point 1: I discovered that my 12 oz mug will overflow if I use the 12 oz cup setting to brew (had to stop the brew cycle), so I use the 10 oz setting to fill this mug. This was a surprise, since the first-use cleaning only shot out 8 oz of water (running water only without grounds through at 10 oz setting per instructions). This is not necessarily a negative – I just had to adjust my thinking/choice depending on the mug I use. Point 2: Grind is not controllable – no variety of settings. Sadly, I don’t find the coffee strong or flavorful enough, I assume this is due to the default grinding amount and grit. I have to add a bit of instant coffee (!) to strengthen it. I assume that a stronger coffee bean/darker roast will make a stronger cup, but will have to wait until I’ve used up the beans I have before testing this. I don’t use pods (expensive and strength can’t be determined with them). I prefer fresh ground coffee (and even like Taster’s Choice instant). Point 3: Grounds cup storage. The cup into which the beans are ground fits nicely into the convenient side storage; HOWEVER, the optional pod insert is too large to store in the same place – the little door won’t shut. Since I don’t use that pod insert and only use the grinding cup insert, I want to store the pod neatly. This storage should have been sized appropriately to accommodate either. I keep the cleaned grinder cup stored under the grinder. Fortunately, I use an appliance cover, so it will keep out any dust. I will update this review once I’ve tried other beans, or if anything changes in the future.

   Leí comentario positivos y negativos en los.negativos había gente que regreso la cafetera por temas de calidad, en lo personal llevo ya usando la cafetera unos meses y sin duda es una gran compra, funciona perfecto , y el molino así como las cápsulas excelentes , solo hace café americano pero muy buen sabor. Sin duda la recomiendo mucho en color blanco , la color negro creo que es la que ha presentado fallas, en mi caso una gran cafetera se ve increíble y a todo el que le preparo café recién molido le encanta su sabor

   This is THE BEST coffee maker! Nothing was wrong with the old Cuisinart 14-cup maker, but living alone, I found that often I just didn’t need a giant pot of coffee. I didn’t want to get something that only uses capsules, so this drew my attention because of the “use your own” coffee feature. It’s surprisingly great for the price! It holds a larger amount of water than expected (about three good-sized cups worth). It’s pretty quiet, and the coffee brews hot (about an 8 out of 10 on the temperature). The design is pretty modern, and it doesn’t take up much space on my counter. I think it will last quite a while, as it’s been making me a lot of coffee over the last few months. I love that the grinder is helping me go through so many bags of coffee beans!

   I like this grind and brew coffee maker. I found it convenient and enabled me to make a fresh cup of coffee. At the start, the reservoir holds enough water to make 40 ounces of brew. Since I use filtered water, I didn’t need the provided filter that goes in the reservoir. Next, we need coffee beans, and this is my first complaint: instead of a wide-open bowl to pour beans into, the space is constricted by the motor for the grinder (see Figure 1). So, you will need a means of getting the beans into a narrow space. Once you do, the bean reservoir holds enough for at least ten cups of 10 ounce coffee. Grinding the beans is a learning curve. The button for grinding is an “off-on” switch; on, to grind, off to stop. Nine seconds is sufficient for my taste for a 10 ounce cup of coffee. Left on, the grinder will run for 15 seconds, which provides a strong brew of 12 ounce coffee. A built-in timer would have been handy to go with the grinder, beeping at one second intervals. The accessories include a screen container to hold fresh grounds, a plastic container to hold the screen, and a plastic container to hold K cups. For those interested, I use reusable screen K cup containers (available elsewhere on cuisinartoutlets.com), that can be used with both of the supplied plastic holders. All-in-all, I would recommend this brewer.

   It’s a good single cup coffee maker, with some flaws…  To be transparent around my rating, I bought two of these, so the flaws were not enough to keep me from buying another one when it dialed, but it did fail after a year and some months of moderate to heavy use (5-6 cups a day)  The Bean hopper is large enough for several good cups of coffee.  If I had to be critical, I wish the container side raised up a touch over the motor hub, as there’s competition for space as you fill beans.  The motor takes up 50% of the space, so beans bounce off it like it’s their last shot at freedom.  The first device would always make a sound like it’s got a pump running quietly.  After a while, all the lights would blink and needed to be unplugged. Coffee cup size would at some point become inconsistent…  Eventually, this would be the startup ritual… until something inside finally gave up and I work to water all over the counter and the coffee maker inoperable.  After replacing it, it’s back to the well functioning single cup I’ve enjoyed.  We will see if this is a chronic issue or just a single worn out unit and update from there.  Other than those flaws, it’s a really good sing cup maker with an integrated grinder! Coffee temperature: Not quite boiling hot, you can get to drinking immediately  Durability: Ish.  First one lasted a bit over a year.  Taste: Makes a good cup.  Your beans will come through.  Size: It’s compact and easily desk worthy.  Fits any countertop.

   I bought this Oct 2023, and started having issues February 2025. Until that point it was pretty decent. This was my first coffee machine as I went from powdered instant coffee to grinding my own beans. The reservoir is enough for about four 10 oz cups of coffee, which is decent for what I drink in a day. The machine “forces” you to descale it periodically (about every 6 months for me) which can be annoying but is probably a good practice regardless. The space under the brew head is too short to place a 20 oz Yeti-style travel mug, and the drip tray is a little more narrow than I’d like. I have a wider ~30 oz mug, for those really rough days, that does fit, but precariously. The grind size or duration is not adjustable, which is a bit of an annoyance because the metal filter basket the reusable pod comes with leaves a fine silt of grounds in the bottom of the mug. I added paper filters to prevent this, but it slightly diminishes the space for grounds in the filter basket. This means the automatic grind shutoff, which is calibrated for the metal filter basket, overflows the filter. The grinder can be shut off manually though so that is how I deal with it. My main issue with the machine is the cleanliness. After about 15 months of ownership, when using either disposable k cups or the reusable cup, water has started overflowing the top of said cup, where the needle pierces the lid, flooding the brew head area with water and coffee grounds. This wouldn’t be awful in itself, but it leads to unfixable issues. The lid of the brew head is not removable, which means all the coffee grounds that float back in the chamber are very difficult to clean out (pictured). I tried rinsing them out by pouring water in the area and letting the water and grounds float to the drains located around the pod holder, only to realize the water was disappearing elsewhere. The water, and presumably coffee grounds, were leaking INTO the sealed part of the machine. There’s now water and grounds inside an inaccessible part of the sealed machine, which will definitely lead to nastiness down the road. Cleaning the bean hopper is also very difficult since it is fixed in place, and inside of the hopper is a large gear head that transfers power to the removable grinding head. Attached is a picture that shows I can barely get my fingers half way down the hopper in the most open part, let alone where all the rigid supports are that make plenty of nooks and crannies. Unfortunately if I can’t fix the overflow issue, I’ll eventually have to replace this $100+ machine after only about a year and a half. Even if I can solve it, due to the inability to clean parts of it, it may be replaced before two years is up. Thankfully the stuck coffee grounds won’t have an awful smell, at least for now.

    Personally, I like it a lot. Every morning I grind the coffee beans and make a delicious coffee. It’s practical and quick to prepare. For the price, I think it’s great!
