For Fresh Brewed Coffee.. this one is a winner

by beachballs , May 14, 2007

Comments:
Purchased the product despite reading complaints that this coffee maker is hard to clean and noisy. WHAT? Okay, you do spend about minute cleaning the filter and the grinding area but it does grind and brew in one machine so the clean-up seems easy enough and expected. Yes, it's more than just taking a filter out.
<br>
<br>Noise? Minimal. Sounds like a coffee bean grinder... which it is. This brand is actually quieter than we expected. So this one is GREAT and would recommend if you're looking for a maker that grinds and brews in one nice looking machine. We would prefer an option on grinding. Something a little finer as we seem to use more coffee beans. We buy a new one about every year due to our use and consumption. This is our First Cuisinart and we plan to put it to the test in this house.

QuickTake:

Pros: Nice Coffee maker and ease of operation.

Cons: Would like a finer grinding selection

Recommended: Yes

3 too many

by savyshopper , Jan. 29, 2007

Comments:
Loved the idea of this coffee maker so much that I gave it three tries. Each time the coffee maker had something malfunction. Luckily and unluckily for me it was still under warrantee. Also the grinder didn't seem to grind the coffee fine enough.

QuickTake:

Pros: Automatic grind and brew with timer settings

Cons: Owned three (replaced), functions ware out too quickly

Grinder Design needs work

by Online Shopper , Jan. 29, 2006

Every thing works well except the Grinder wore out, (the gasket sleeve that surrounds the drive shaft in the grinder basket), gets wobblely and loose and won't grind the coffee fine.

Pros: Less Cleaning than most
