Coffee tastes really good, the grinder is a little loud but no different than any other coffee grinders.

Thermal container hard to keep clean after a while.. compromised taste of coffee & container much more expensive to replace

Any way I like that it grounds the coffee for the fresh taste

I LOVE the thermal carafe---always hated the taste and smell of burned coffee with glass carafes that sit on heating elements.

If you want to have good tasting coffee you "must" do this, and it is a project, you need to clean the gold basket (this comes with the Cuisnart) - you then wince the two other parts and hold the basket.

The coffee tastes weak to me

Brews great tasting coffee but requires complete washing and drying of all parts before brewing a second pot.

I have actually loved the grind and brew option in one machine and love the taste of the coffee it brews

And, while it makes a decent tasting pot of coffee, it also takes a bit longer than my old Cuisinart to do it.

Not much of a coffee snob but the coffee tastes great to me.

Removing the basket for the grinds and the grinder cup for a quick rinse or clean is easy to do and assures another batch of great tasting coffee the next morning.

After a few months of using this coffee maker, I can say that while I enjoy the taste of the coffee that this machine makes, I consistently find myself dreading having to make coffee using this machine

I purchased this coffee maker with the idea that the carafe would keep the coffee tasting fresher

2nd one of these that we purchased, just need to keep it clean after each use to get the best tasting coffee.

Yeah, it's cool that you can put whole beans in the top for that fresh grounded taste that coffee lovers crave, but it is a pain to set up and clean

The coffee was always warm and weak tasting.

I love the way coffee tastes after it is ground fresh in the morning.

Pros:- Simple to use- Consistently good tasting coffee- Large

In fact, I like hearing the grinder working, knowing that in just a few minutes I will have a wonderful tasting cup of coffee.

But this machine, although producing great tasting coffee, requires that the entire internal mechanism of the machine be dissembled and cleaned DAILY after each use--the grinder cup and the grinder lid, the gold basket filter, the filter basket, it's lid, the filter basket latch, and THEN the

But a burr grinder makes better coffee, so if you're after the best tasting coffee, here's yet another problem with this model

Great tasting coffee when we grind our beans.

The grinder works just great, and together with the micro filter basket, delivers fresh great tasting HOT coffee

Not having my coffee being warmed for hours by a hot plate improves taste too

A few minutes after making my coffee, I can clean the filter and parts and my pot of coffee stays hot without the bad coffee taste from sitting on a hotplate for 2 hours.

and I wanted to be able to set the coffee maker the night before and wake up to great tasting coffee

As far as this coffee maker goes, it makes a decent tasting pot of coffee.

Makes great tasting coffee

The machine still makes great tasting coffee but the instructions that say "for hotter coffee rinse the carafe in hot water before brewing

Makes great tasting, very satisfying coffee

The smell of fresh grounds and the pure delightful taste just can't be duplicated!Love this product, my last one lasted 9 years and was only replaced when the daily grind of beans finally wore a hole completely through the side of the grinder.

And if I come back for a second cup, I have to microwave it which ruins the taste.

The small part that does the grinding, (only takes about 30 seconds to grind), but you want the wonderful taste the next morning - therefore those two pieces must be winced

Really does have improved taste

I LOVE THE TASTE OF THE COFFEE IT

Great tasting coffee when we grind our beans.

I also prefer the flat bottom metal holder for the coffee grains over the paper ones as the coffee tastes much better.

It is definitely not a great tasting coffee (gas station style at best)

This produces great tasting coffee

The coffee tastes great

The fresh taste of ground coffee beans really makes a difference.

I do prefer the taste with paper filter in lieu of the permanent

Old school coffee maker tastes noticeably fresher than the convenient but flatter tasting Kuereg coffee!

Quality is great, taste is great.

I drink my coffee black, so taste is critical

Great taste and easy to program and use.

Difficult to keep clena doesn't make the best tasting coffee i would not buy it again

First let me say, when everything works perfectly the coffee tastes great...however, this is the most high maintenance coffee maker I have ever owned.

this product doesn't grind coffee fine enough to bring about great taste

the thermal pot keeps his coffee warm and doesn't get that stale over processed taste.

It makes a great tasting cup of coffee in 6 minutes flat

The coffee taste great

It does require daily cleaning where the beans go in, but that is OK, coffee tastes great.

Fabulous tasting coffee

Reliable, programmable, and great tasting coffee

Apparently, the blade in the grinder of our machine spins so fast that it actually scorches the beans giving the coffee a burnt, bitter taste

Coffee is smooth tasting and I like to use the timer to have coffee ready when I come down in the morning

Buy your favorite coffee, we use Starbuck's brand, and get great coffee house taste at home.

The glass type gives off a slightly burned aroma and taste.

The warming plate turns itself off after a while and this prevents you from having that nasty old burnt coffee taste.

The coffee tastes great and the machine does not take long to grind/brew.

Excellent purchase, grinds & brews extremely well, easy to clean, metal carafe keeps coffee warm without effecting the taste😇

He called to tell me that he had forgotten what great coffee tasted like until he had this one.

Also we both at times forget to put the lid back on the basket filter-- probably because we never had to do that with our last model (a cone filter which is preferable for making great tasting coffee)

I don't mind the extra work to clean the basket and the grinder every day, the great tasting coffee is worth it.

Don't over fill as it can clog up but taste of coffee is good.

I certainly recommend it to anyone who wants great tasting coffee.

However after a week of tepid weak tasting coffee I had to send it back

works great, makes great tasting cofee on time!

Makes good tasting coffee and easy to use

Love the smell and taste of fresh ground and brewed coffee

I purchased this last week and although the coffee tastes so much better than the Keurig it is not as hot as I would like

On the plus side, the 1-4 cups feature works extremely well making great tasting coffee..

Thermos pot, great idea, keeps it warm without cooking it and ruining taste.

Want great tasting brewed fresh

The built-in grinder is a fantastic feature that allows me to obviously use whole bean coffee, which definitely improves the taste of my coffee, more than I imagined

so I can get good tasting coffee!!!

Generally a very good coffee maker, although perhaps not quite as good taste wise as it's predecessor.

n’t stay warm for long.

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

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.
