I came back 5min later to strong burning plastic smell, and greasy black smoke pouring out of the hole in the bottom where the power cable goes into the base

The lid won’t shut after a couple of uses because the heat generated by the brewing process warped the plastic

didn't know if the plastic was harmful to our health, otherwise it is a fantastic product

Also, the top element of the grinder is clear plastic

It starts being ground in a clear plastic case, then the hot water comes in here and washed it down through a plastic shout to the the filter area

I didn't worry too much since it says the plastic is BPA-free, but I feared that my first brew would taste like plastic

and then burns the plastic around it.

The cheap, flimsy plastic lid over the reservoir became slightly warped as a result of the hot steam that would saturate it as the water boiled inside

The flimsy plastic lid does not hold up to the heat

They made it lighter, used more cheap plastic parts, which results in it being more unstable

and I cannot believe how much cheaper the materials are in this one than the last—metal-looking plastic as opposed to real metal

Well my guess is to meet a certain price point someone used cheaper plastic on the lid than the engineer specked to be

I have no idea what kind of cheap plastic smells like this

now they are just cheap plastic outsourced offshore

Furthermore, the brittle plastic on the grinding lid has chipped off and left little bits of plastic in with a couple baskets of grounds

Well, it's very thin plastic and broke within about a month of me getting this

The LCD is nearly pointless (especially when compared to the Breville), and even though it's partially metal, it's mostly cheap looking plastic

Wanted to like this very much as it's a cool idea, but instead it was an expensive failed experiment.

Bottom line is if you want a reasonably convenient, fresh ground, cup of coffee that will never taste burnt and you are willng to invest 5 minutes in cleanup after each use, the Cuisinart Grind & Brew Thermal is in my opinion as good as it gets at a reasonable price point

Works as it should but is a pain in the a$$ to clean

The only advantage this coffee maker has over my old $20 machine from Target is the scheduling functionality, which works as it should.

Also the plastic grinder cap design makes it a very difficult-to-clean machine.

Do not overfill as it will leak from the

Please try to make this return authorization as easy as

Also it uses the flat cup kind of basket, and coffee doesn't taste nearly as good as when using a cone filter or basket

We are not gentle on them, but prefer over the burr grinder as we drink a flavored coffee and it does not clog like the burr did.

The carafes cool down the hot coffee as they fill up

First of all, the cuisines makes a great cup(s) of coffee from preground beans

n’t stay warm for long.

n’t go through to the bottom half and can clean the debris before making coffee

Love i!t!
