We bought this to replace our second attempt at another brand that was similar. So far we are vey pleased with it. First of all, it looks awesome. it is a little big but, that's not an issue for us. Pretty easy to use and fill and it brews pretty quickly. Settings for clock and timer are pretty straight forward. We have only used the cleaning setting once but, it's seems to function well. One thing I like is it has a light under the dispenser so you can actually see how full the cup is getting.. besides... it looks cool! It keeps coffee hot for 2 hours and has a little alarm that tells you it's going to cut off so you can restart it if you want. On the down side, the little meter that tells you how much coffee is left doesn't seem accurate at all. The other downside with all of these types of dispensers is that you can only fit a certain size mug under it. Although it does take a good size mug, you can't fit a Yeti under it (lol) so I fill my mug and dump it in. Can't attest to the endurance yet but, if need be, I will update this. Over all, it is a very nice product.Read full review

After the first three times using it, it became apparent that it's nothing more than an overblown table top unit. I am not liking the way you need to clean it, nor the way the brewed coffee is stored inside the unit, not like a regular carafe, where all you worry about is dropping the glass container. I never cleaned it but of course they want you to use their stuff and not sure why you couldn't just use vinegar. I was asked three questions prior to filling out this part. Is it easy to use, It is easy to clean, and does it brew quickly. I answered no to all of them. But did think about how quick is quick? Less than three minutes? Less then 5? Easy to clean. Although I didn't do that, I did read the manual about it and seemed more of a hassle than it should be. There are three parts that pull out to clean. The water reservoir, the brewed coffee reservoir, and the grounds. So basically it is the same, with the counter top ones, but it's not, The storage one for the brewed coffee, has a heat plate. Not unlike a heat plate for the steel carafes. The clock is yet once again very small. It has a fuel type gauge that shows how much brewed coffee is left. Auto on and off. You can choose a 1-4 cups setting. It is a big machine and with the flip up lid it will not clear most under cabinet spaces, and you can't replace any of the coffee grounds or coffee reservoir without moving it out from them anyway. So, all in all, I won't recommend this for a space on your counter top. It just seems like a lot for no better than what it's designed to do.Read full review

I'm a three time Cuisinart Grind & Brew owner. I wanted something different this time so I purchased this unit as a factory refurbished piece. It was different! No built-in Grinder but I had a separate one to use when I wanted to grind fresh beans. It set up very easy right out of the box; Coffee brewed quicker then previous coffee makers. Coffee brews and retains heat at perfect temperature; If people like stronger coffee just activate the 1-4 cup button ahead of starting the brew. Unit is very easy to clean! Size & dimension of unit fits right under my cabinet when not in use. Power cord length is fine. Coffee flavor & body is very good.

I have a different Cuisinart, and since her old Mr Coffee kept blowing its thermo link I convinced het to try a Cuisinart. I am the fixit guy in the family, and I do my best to guide family to items that don't need my "Fix-it" services. But she is a true inquiring mind, and after investigating the various models, and input from a girlfriend. She lit on the fact that this unit dispenses direct into her cup without the breakable glass pot involved, also has the programmable feature to have the coffee brew in conjunction with her wakeup alarm !

I got one of these for my mother who lives with me. She is older and has arthritis in both of her hands. She had a hard time lifting the coffee pot when it was full. This is perfect. Made her life a little easier. I like the way it looks on the countertop, and the coffee gage is a nice feature. However, the smell of coffee in the morning is definitely minimized, as the coffee is brewed inside the machine, and the lid stays closed. That is the only drawback. At least it is to me, as I love the smell of coffee in the morning.
