i had a house fire several years ago, and when it came time to replace my coffee maker-this was the one i looked for.
it's different then the usual chrome, black or white that so many people have in their homes.
i bought this machine in part because, though i am the only coffee drinker in our house, when friends or family visit, i like the option of being able to make larger pots.
my husband and i only drink one cup each every morning.
i often make only 1 or 2 cups at a time so i especially like the special heating system for fewer than 4 cups.
there is no need to stop at a coffee shop in the morning when you can make a cup just as good at home.i purchased my coffee maker 2 months ago and absolutely love it!
i love how the coffee pot can be set, so in the morning, the entire house smells like freshly brewed coffee.
i first used it at my brother's house and fell in love with it.
everyone that comes to my house and has coffee always comments on how wonderful it is!
it took awhile to get used to all the parts (i'm not too crazy about the design of the coffee filter/lid), but it was definitely worth the money to have the smell of fresh coffee fill the house every
Over the three years, it may have been used a normal households year an a half with only one coffee drinker.
Only (& irredeemable) problem is: Every single cup tastes like stainless steel!
I recommend this machine if you're not easily frustrated by household items that need a special touch or just seem to have a mind of their own.
(Note this is not the coffee maker I would choose for my home use that is when I want the frills.
We are at least a 2 pot per morning household.
However, for a household that brews several pots of coffee a day and likes a good, rich, bold cup of coffee, the Cuisinart Grind & Brew is a poor choice.
So it's back to straightforward French coffee presses for this household - and (Joy!) finally a decent cup of coffee.
Unfortunately, the horrendously loud grinder would wake the whole household and seemed to take forever to dribble out a small pot of coffee.
-You can also manually grind the night before if someone in household is sensitive to the grinder noise in the morning.
u nlike most coffee makers, it brews a single cup really well, the coffee comes out with a perfect smooth flavor.
i use it for a single cup and it works great.
it makes a single cup just as well as two cups.
i had purchased 2 of the black and decker pod single cup makers from walmart.com.
since i am the only coffee drinker at home (my wife prefers tea), i find the option to brew just one cup extremely useful, not to mention the convinience of being able to brew directly into any cup
weaknesses: no way to turn off loud beep when it's done brewing--not good if you're making coffee when someone else in the house is asleep.
keeps coffee hot, long enough for our household to go through a pot in the morning.
actually this is the third one we have purchased as we got a second one for our lake house.
although it may be the starbuck's houseblend beans i use, everyone who tastes my coffee says it's wonderful.
i love it, coffee never tastes burned and i never have to worry if i "turned the coffeemaker off" when i leave the house!
