Pros:

The auto grind-and-brew feature is a huge plus, especially if you like your coffee fresh ground AND you like to sleep in in the morning. With most automatic coffee makers, you’re stuck choosing one or the other. With the Cuisinart Grind and Brew, you just load it up with whole beans before bed, and wake up to fresh coffee in the morning.

The charcoal water filter ensures that your coffee is made with pure, sweet-tasting water, which is another big plus. The filter is also very easy to change, unlike some built in water filters in coffee machines.

Cons:

The biggest con is the noise of the grinder – though as coffee grinders go, it’s really not that noisy. It can, however, be a rude awakening in a silent house until you get used to it.

The Final Verdict:

With all the most-wanted features in automatic coffee makers, the Cuisinart Grind and Brew is hard to beat for convenience, ease of use and style. The price is a little on the high side, but it IS a Cuisinart, and carries the Cuisinart quality.
