Cuisinart - Grind & Brew Single-Serve Coffeemaker - White

I wanted to like this machine, but you can't control the amount of coffee it grinds. So I am dumping some of the ground coffee each time I'm using the reusable capsule, or I'm adding additional water to the cup and having to microwave it to warm it back up after the brewing is over. I don't want the coffee as strong, and want to be able to easily vary the strength depending upon which beans I am using. Also, the machine is always messy, with coffee grounds spilling from the grinding process, and from K-cups which frequently leak coffee grounds because the machine does not seal around the puncture needle through the top of the K-cup foil very well. I like a lot of the features of this machine, but it makes a continual mess you will have to clean up.

Exactly what I have been looking for!! Hot coffee, fresh taste, and 12oz single serving.

Excellent cost-benefit, coffee beans and pods ready, attending all my expectations!

I have enjoyed using this coffee maker. It brews quickly and the water is hotter than the previous Cuisinart model that I had which was the SS-10. I haven't had any issues with the coffee maker at this point. I only have 2 complaints. My first complaint is that the water tank is too small. I'm finding that I keep having to fill up the tank, and it is harder to access because it is in the back of the machine and can be harder to pull out if it is stored under a cabinet. My second complaint is that I cannot fit tall insulated metal cups under the area where the brewed coffee is coming out. When I place a mug underneath it all fits fine. The fact that it doesn't fit my larger cups is not a problem with the machine per se, but I didn't pay attention to that when I was purchasing the new machine.

Really enjoy the combination that this device brings. I had so many coffee beans that would’ve gone to waste but am able to use them with this machine! It brews incredibly hot and also enjoy how you can use a normal k-cup.

The coffee grinder and maker is the perfect machine for me. It’s a great addition to July counter top and will definitely earned its weight in gold

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CUISINART PRODUCT. I'VE HAD COFFEEMAKERS IN THIS BRAND AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM... THIS IS NOT NORMAL! HAVEN'T EVEN USED THE GRINDER YET.

I purchased this coffee maker because of its features. I have read a lot of good and bad reviews about it. I am loving it a lot, just having the options of grinding your own coffee and you can tell the difference with taste. Now in the early morning ning hours I use the K cups just to keep it quite and during the day I use the grinder built in. All in all I am happy I could use either way to make my coffee. The good outweighs the bad, my honest opinion.

Works as designed. I like the fact that you can grind whole beans from your favorite coffee brand or use K-Cups. The tank is a little small, but it’s not a dealbreaker. The only reason it’s not getting a 5 star is because the grinder will have residual grounds that didn’t make it into the filter. Those residual grinds will drop down over time and make a little bit of a mess. Most is contained on the overflow tray on the bottom.
