"Love it."
We love this coffee maker. It is so wonderful to wake up to freshly ground and brewed coffee. We never have a "burned" or "old" taste to the coffee, as it is stored in a thermos. The only negative is that we have found that the coffee maker only lasts a couple of years before having to be replaced. Otherwise, it is definitely an A+.

"Don't bother"
We've gone through a couple Cuisinart Grind and Brews, both were junk. They need to be cleaned completely between uses and they are a pain to clean. They begin to leak after only a couple years and then need to be replaced. The door with the basket will occasionally pop open half way through the cycle so you can wake up to coffee all over the counter. This coffeemaker is a total waste of money. We acquired a Melitta Mill and Brew that is vastly superior but it doesn't appear to be available anymore, pity.

"The Best Coffee Maker "
I purchased the Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffee pot a early last year. While looking on Amazon for a second carafe I was amazed at all the negative reviews this coffee pot received. I have never once experienced an issue with the pot overflowing or grounds in my coffee. We typically make one pot every morning on weekdays and two or three each weekend or holiday day. So the machine has had lots of opportunity to fail. I only use water that has been passed through our osmosis system and carefully wash out the coffee grounds basket checking to see the valve at its bottom freely passes water. I have used the built in grinder on several occasions and found it to work just as advertised.

Prior to purchasing this machine, we purchased Star-Bucks coffee makers and an occasional Mr. Coffee, etc. We switched because they seem to all die after 10-12 months of use. So far the Cuisinart has exceeded our expectations.

"Hunk of Junk"
An absolute hunk of junk! Mine (purchased 5 months ago) has never been easy to clean is currently on the way to the local landfill after I tired of using pliers to remove the grinder and basket attachment. Even using pliers, the grinder feature is impossible to remove. While having freshly brewed coffee is nice, this machine is not worth the hassle and agrivation!

"worked great ..... for a while"
Cuisinart (DGB-900BC) 12 Cup Grind & Brew Coffeemaker (Brushed Chrome) + (ED150) Bean Vac Coffee Canister.... Set the automatic timer and then the filter drawer kept popping open when the grinder started ...WHAT A MESS ... grounds spattered everywhere!!! But the worse thing was that the water brewing would miss the pot and there would be water everywhere. Gee the timer function was useless because i would have to stand there and hold the drawer closed until all functions were done! On another note ... cuisinarts rice cooker Cuisinart CRC-800 8-Cup Rice Cooker.... kept scorching my rice on warm and also would bubble and spatter all over the counter ... they replaced it! I had the same problems. I threw it away! Cuisinart? What happened to your quality??? Spend a few extra dollars and buy the VitaClay VitaClay VF7900-3 Chef Gourmet 6-Cup Rice and Slow Cooker Pro, Brushed Stainless.... perfection personified!
