Perfection!
Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Sean Neimeth
I'm not going to mince words: the Coffee Center Grind and Brew Plus isn't just a coffee maker, it's a culinary deity masquerading as a kitchen appliance. From the moment this magnificent machine graced my countertop, my mornings have transformed from groggy rituals into pure, unadulterated bliss.\nLet's talk about the grind. "Super quiet," the user said? That's an understatement so profound it borders on blasphemy. This machine grinds beans with the hushed reverence of a librarian in a silent reading room. I've had grandmothers who whisper louder! You could be performing delicate brain surgery next to this thing, and the only sound you'd hear is the delightful whiff of freshly pulverized coffee. It's so efficient, it feels like it's brewing coffee before I even think about wanting it.\nAnd the warmth! Oh, the glorious, enduring warmth! This isn't your average, "lukewarm an hour later" kind of warmth. This is the kind of warmth that says, "I love you, and I want your coffee to be perfectly hot until the very last drop, even if you decide to take a nap in between cups." It's like having a personal coffee concierge dedicated to maintaining optimal temperature at all times.\nTruly, this is the best coffee maker ever. It has elevated my coffee experience to a level I previously thought unattainable. It's efficient, it's quiet, it's a warmth-preserving wizard.\nNow, for the one minuscule, almost unforgivable flaw that threatens to cast a shadow on this otherwise perfect beacon of caffeinated joy: the coffee pot glass. "Overly sensitive," they said. Ha! That's like calling a supernova a "bright light." I've looked at these pots sideways and felt a tremor of impending doom. I've accidentally breathed too hard in their general vicinity, and suddenly, shards. Two pots already! It's less a coffee pot and more a delicate, crystalline heart, prone to shattering at the slightest emotional turbulence. It truly makes me glower with frustration that such a magnificent machine is tethered to such a fragile vessel. It's the Achilles' heel of an otherwise Herculean coffee maker.\nDespite this, I stand by my assertion: the Coffee Center Grind and Brew Plus is an unbelievable, wonderful, fantastic triumph. Just... invest in a backup pot. Or ten. You'll thank me later, after you've experienced the sheer perfection of the brew.

We have had two Hamilton Beach FlexBrew products and liked them very much. We switched to the Cuisinart Coffee Center Grind and Brew Plus for two reasons. GRINDER ... my wife likes to grind her own beans about half the time and we wanted a unit with a grinder built in. Your grinder works fine, BUT I was surprised to learn I had to remove it and dry it off even when we were not grinding beans. It gets steamed up and both pieces of the grinder have to be dried out. PLASTICS ... we worried that the plastic "guts" of the HB FlexBrew was reported to create microplastics and mix them in the water. Yours was rated free of that concern, or so my wife reported from her online research. Overall this is an attractive and easy to maintain unit which brews good coffee.

We bought the Coffee Center 2-in-1 Coffeemaker after a recent visit to my sisters home. I told her that we just had to finally replace our old Cuisinart 12 cup programable coffee maker after it developed an internal leak after many years of service. We purchased a new Cuisinart 12 cup "stainless steel" programable coffee maker and were soon disappointed with the machine. First of all unlike our old machine it was almost entirely made of plastic and felt like it was low quality. Additionally the carafe did not pour correctly and often we would end up with water (while filling) or coffee (while pouring) if it poured too fast on the counter top. Liquid would spill over the sides of the spout. \nWithin a couple of months we decided to replace the new 12 cup with the 2-in-1 machine. We have been presently surprised and enjoy programing as well as the K cup feature. Cuisinart has been redeemed in my opinion. Now I just need to decide what to do with the "new" 12-cup machine that caused much disappointment!

We own 2 of this particular coffee makers. One for our home and one for a rental unit. Everyone likes having choices and this coffee maker delivers. My spouse likes to make a pot early in the morning. I\u2019m not an early morning person and by the time I get around to drinking my first cup- I can make a fresh single pod. We occasionally use the grind and brew when we want something different or special, which is also an added bonus! Clean up is not difficult at all.

This is the most recent of my Cuisinart coffee maker purchases. Ever since my first one I've been hooked. They make the best coffee and every time we have people over, they comment how good the coffee is. I tried the bold setting when it started coming out on the coffeemakers and I'll never not use it. With the price of coffee skyrocketing Cuisinart's make even inexpensive coffee taste good. And to get strong coffee, you can just use the standard amount of coffee stretching it. Family members always comment on how good and strong my coffee is. Granted, more expensive coffee is generally better tasting, but it's not just the coffee, but the coffee maker! And with the reusable pod, I can use my own coffee to brew a cup saving on the cost of having to purchase the pods. The only negative thing is that you can't use the bold setting when making a single cup.

I love the different options this machine has for brewing coffee. The coffee is hot and brews well. The biggest con is that moisture gets into grinder when brewing, so you have to thoroughly clean it out and let it dry after every use or it doesn't work as well. \nAlso, if you open the water/grinder lid, you lose the “keep warm” function. \nWe are an household that brews multiple pots in a day and overall, we're happy with the machine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is more about their warranty than the purchase of. We had purchased about a year and a half ago. We LOVED the option that it brewed coffee AND kcup coffee. One morning we made coffee and the machine started smoking. We quickly unplugged and called Cuisinart. I believe it was even on a Saturday. They took the information and confirmed we had registered the product. The warranty was for 3 years. They asked for pictures and that was it. A new coffee maker was on the way. This is a company who believes in their product. If they didn't they wouldn't offer a 3 year warranty on a small appliance. We were happy, amazed, thankful we bought a Cuisinart, and appreciative of the warranty. Thank you Cuisinart for making such a great product and standing by your quality. We APPRECIATE it!

Our 1st grind and brew started spewing grounds into the grinder area and around the burner and counter. Cuisinart answered my problem with a new filter holder and we had the same results, upon which they sent me a new G&B. It has been a blessing to not have to clean up all over after brewing. Thank you for your replacing the defective machine. I love my fresh ground coffee.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it. It is super loud but stranger is how long is grinds, even for four cups. It sounds as if it's a running overloaded aggressive motor! The other con is the cleanup - everyday I have to clean out the grinds AND where the beans grind and the coffee pot. The pro is you can have ground, beans and a one cup!!

A good upgrade from my old coffee maker. Grinds coffee beans, able to use the pods, easy to use and clean! Makes smooth coffee! However, the coffee grinding is lacking a bit, it doesn't grind everything and a lot of the grounded ones get stuck inside and doesn’t fall to the filter. This could be normal, but I just prefer to buy pre grounded coffee beans now.

Down side the pot side is hard to fill without slopping. Would be nice to be able to remove the resivor to fill with water. Also the clean light came on after not very many uses.

This coffee system looks great and solves the 1 cup vs carafe dilemma. The one thing I don't like about it is that the filter for the carafe side is hard to re-insert properly so that it lines up with the cover. When it doesn't properly line up the top won't close and of course, then it won't turn on.

Good product. Like the two brew options plus grind option. Can set a timer too. Sometimes certain pods explode, cuisinart recommended keurig and green mountain pods only to prevent that. Basket for carafe doesn't require a liner which is nice. Pod water side holds enough for about three cups.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Pat D71
This is a great machine. The best parts of it is that the Keurig side puts out a hot cup of coffee (so many pod machines put out tepid coffee). This thing has been a trusty sidekick for a few years. The grinder works great, though we rarely use it...we just prefer to grind our own.\n\nOf HUGE importance. Our unit did die in a little under two years (about the 22 month mark), but Cuisinart's warranty is awesome...it was 3 years, and the process was super simple (so many companies act like I'm a criminal when trying to exercise the warranty THEY offer for the broken stuff). I've had this experience with them with other products as well. Cuisinart has my brand loyalty for good products and good service.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Jilly N
I have had this model for almost 2 years and have really enjoyed it. The versatility is great. The coffee is great. The "over ice" option is nice, just know that it's still hot coffee coming out. I think it just makes it really strong so that the melting ice doesn't dilute it too much. You then need to pour it over more ice, but it's much faster than making coffee and waiting for it to cool in the refrigerator. I must say that Cuisinart really exceeded my expectations when my coffee maker started smoking. They sent me a new one in 3 days! So, keep your receipts and do whatever you need to for the warranty. But, I'm kinda glad it happened, because I got a new coffeemaker that I love.

This is a great, versatile coffee maker, making both pods and carafe. We've only had it for a month, but it works great so far. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the water supply. It's very small. I think it only makes 3-4 cups using the pod.

I really love the flexibility of this 2 in 1 coffee maker. My husband wakes up earlier than me and can have one cup of coffee using our own pods. When I wake up I put up a pot. The main concern I've always complained about is that the warming plate is not unpainted stainless steel, so no matter how careful I am in wiping up any drips on it, it would always RUST and stop working. I resolved this issue by purchasing an aluminum disk, less than 1/16 inch thick to rest inside the warming plate area. It conducts heat perfectly and when it cools, I lift it out and clean it. The coffee pot slides over it (instead of the rusted plate). But I love the 2 in 1

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Julie Y
We've owned at least 3 of the previous model, and continue to find this the best coffee pot for our needs. We need two water reservoirs because we have a water softener and the ions in the softened water cause the single cups to clog. We use purchased filtered water for the single cup reservoir and regular tap water for the carafe side. The new design has the pot on the right side, which makes it easier for those of us who are right handed to fill (sorry lefties). The programming has been tweaked to be quite straightforward. I only wish we could brew on the bold setting when auto programming.

I have owned other Cuisinart coffee makers in the past and had pretty good luck with them. My last coffee maker was a Keurig that had the carafe and pod together. So when mine finally quit working I decided to try this one because it does both. The K cups work great in this one, which is really important, and both sides make excellent coffee. I'm pleased with it so far and enjoy making coffee everyday and have not been let down. I own other Cuisinart products so I know the quality of this brand and decided to go back to it…glad I did!! Looking forward to years of great service and reliability.

I am happy I bought this coffeemaker to replace two other working units. It has saved space in the kitchen. It is faster than the others. The single cup brewer is not finicky about the pods (I use a stainless steel pod which the other needed just so). The controls are easy to use and allow for 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12 ounces, not just 10 as a cheaper brand does, so I can do 16 total on one pod. The coffee is just as well brewed as the two replaced. The price a bit high, but worth it for getting what I wanted. I have used for a couple weeks with no problems.
