Amazon.com Review For coffee that's as fresh as the neighborhood coffee shop, but served at home, try Cuisinart's Automatic Grind and Brew coffeemaker. It makes it easy to enjoy fresh coffee with the utmost convenience--ground whole-bean coffee pours directly into the filter basket at a pre-set time for instant brewing. The maker does all the thinking, with a range of programmable features: set the machine to grind and brew at exactly the right time, predetermine the coffee's temperature, and program the machine to turn off a half-hour later.Other features take the guess work out of coffeemaking as well: the flavor setting ensures the optimal amount of water is used for a rich, aromatic taste and no acidity or bitterness, and the large easy-view water window makes sure the right amount of water is added. A self-clean feature lets you know when calcium buildup is interfering with the machine's operation; turn on the self-clean cycle to make quick work of grime. Daily cleaning of the machine is somewhat involved since all individual parts must be removed, so prepare for slightly longer clean up in exchange for time-saving upfront.Two additional caveats: The grinder is noisy, as most grinders are, and cannot be turned off midgrind. And the coffee bar is taller than average coffee machines, so make sure you have a spot for it with plenty of below cupboard space. --Emily Wolf Customer Reviews Not Loud, Not Hard to Clean..Spending Less at Starbucks!! Date: 2001-12-09 | Rating: 5 While there are very few who complain about the quality of coffee produced by this machine, there are some who complain about the noise or cleaning factors. I would disagree that this is a noisy and hard to clean machine. The grinder is NO LOUDER than any other grinder in the world. In fact, it's slightly less noisy b/c it is contained within the machine. As far as cleaning goes, there are only 3 pieces that need to be cleaned and dried. At the end of the day, I take out the pieces and spray them clean with warm/hot water from the kitchen sprayer. Then, I sit them upside down on a paper towel to dry overnight (Unless I'm going to set the auto-brew function for morning, in which case I dry and replace the parts immediately). Other reviewers, who use a similar process, seem to rate this item highly. I'm not sure what the rest of the reviewers are expecting! If you want to grind and brew your own coffee, you must clean the grinder and filter system whether they are a part of the same machine or two separate ones! In the end, this product does a wonderful job of simplifying the process!!Oh, by the way, I've cut my Starbucks expenditure by 75%!! Awesome! Date: 2000-05-03 | Rating: 5 I just received my Grind and Brew coffee maker, and I now look forward to 6 AM every day. I put the beans and water in at night and when I'm out of the shower, freshly brewed coffee is waiting! Because it controls the grind and the amount of water poured over the grounds the coffee is smooth and flavorful, no bitterness at all. I no longer stop at the coffee shop on my way to school and I have been more patient with my students! I highly recommend it! Great coffee maker Date: 2002-04-05 | Rating: 5 I am not sure how you can have a problem with this coffee maker. Yes it makes noise when grinding but what grinder doesn't. It takes about 3 min to clean and all the parts fit nicely together. great reliable coffee maker Date: 2006-03-23 | Rating: 5 Owned this coffee maker for over 5 years now, been happy since day one. Automatic grinder along with good beans really makes a difference in the quality of the coffee. Have not experienced any of the hinge breakages other users mentioned. And the labels are still on for mine, maybe I don't clean as rigorously as others. The only cleaning I do on a day to day bases is basically cleaning out the grinder and filter. This takes running water over the 4 parts (grinder, grinder cap, filter and cover), which easily lifts out, in the sink. Yes, the day to day cleaning is more involved than a coffee maker that uses coffee grounds, but it's not any harder (in fact easier) than using a separate grinder for the beans. One additional note, I use paper coffee filters along with the wire mesh filter provided for stronger flavor from the coffee beans. great coffee every morning Date: 2000-05-13 | Rating: 5 We used to grind coffee and then clean up the mess and then make coffee in our drip coffee maker. Now it is one step. The night before we put in the coffee beans and the next morning we hear it grinding and then start to smell fresh coffee.
