2.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Designed, May 24, 2009

The grinding area is really difficult to clean and requires cleaning at least once a week. This is a time consuming and messy chore.

The water reservoir has a very small opening so difficult to fill without spilling.

Additionally, the one we bought had a problem with the latch. Had to send it back for repairs.

Would not reccomend this product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, December 26, 2009

I was sooo looking forward to this grinder/brewing coffee maker--especially due to the burr grinder---the one cuisinart I had before was never a consistant grind. We've used it for 7 days in a row now, and it was time to clean it---impossible and a huge mess. Hard to clean, and what felt like engineering a coffee grinder early in the morning when you haven't even had your coffee yet! I'm sending it back.
Plus, we like our coffee pretty strong. I set the program for strong and poured enough water for 8 cups. The coffee ended up much weaker than I expected. I tried a work around by programming 12 cups but only adding water enough for 8 cups. This made a big difference it was just the way we like it. Thermal carafe it awesome. And it tastes just as hot and fresh the first pour as it does 3 hours later. I'm purchasing the same coffee maker but without the grinder, then buying a nice grinder as well. Can't seem to find a grinder/brewing combo that hasn't left me disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the ease of this coffee maker, April 12, 2009

This coffee maker is so easy to use, and easy to clean up. All parts are dishwasher safe, although I don't recommend putting the caraf into the dishwasher. We now have water inside the double insulated walls of ours. The carafe keeps the coffe warm for HOURS. Would definitely buy this again.
