Cuisinart Automatic Grind & Brew Single-Serve Coffeemaker

Love this thing. I bought reusable aluminum filters and paper filters that fit inside. Fresh brewed coffee without waste. It’s the perfect coffee maker. The only thing I’d like to as would be an adjustable grinder but as is it’s pretty great. The blinking lights issue discussed in these reviews is the unit indicating that it needs to be decalcified. The instructions follow: DECALCIFICATION Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits that form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker. When all the lights flash in sequence upon turning the unit on, it is time to decalcify your coffeemaker. We recommend decalcifying every month for best performance. But the frequency really depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker. Directions: Step 1: Vinegar Rinse • Fill water reservoir with 13 oz. of white vinegar and 26 oz. of water. • Place a mug or other container on the drip tray. • Open and close the brew head. • Press and hold the Power and 8 oz. buttons for 2 seconds to start decalcification function. • Discard contents of mug into the sink. • Repeat until Add Water light comes on. • When decalcification is complete, the Power and Grind buttons will illuminate. • Discard any remaining diluted vinegar into sink. Step 2: Fresh Water Rinse • Repeat Step 1 three times using fresh water in place of vinegar mixture. • This will clean the brewer’s plumbing and remove any residual vinegar taste.

Found the issue, called customer service, the controller was not programmed, and the tech. Help me program it. Took like 5 minutes and it was brewing coffee, I am so loving this coffee maker! Thank you Cuisinart for helping me, sorry for the first bad review, this and the service tech is amazing! :) Read on, to find out how to program if it happens to you when there are no lights, unplug machine, open coffee brew compartment, inside toward the back on the top swinging part is a button, press button 10 times, open and close brew compartment 4 times, press the power button and 10oz buttons next, then plug it in. Fixed. Delivered like 45 minutes ago, unboxed the coffee maker, wiped it clean with a damp cloth, dusty, rinsed the water tank, soaked the filter, then drained it, put the filter in the holder in the tank, added coffee beans to the grinder container, added water to the water tank, plugged the coffee maker into the wall, turned it on and then opened and shut the brew lid. Pure, NOTHING! No brew size selection lights! So I did the unplug for 5 minutes for the reset as instructed by online troubleshooting, and nothing! Well, I was so excited to get this machine, cause I've had such bad luck with coffee makers lasting, and this didn't even last anything.

This, upon online viewing, seemed a great value. Simple design, small footprint, ability to store and grind beans and water were all great points! The main problem I see with the machine is its auto brew function. It seems to work as intended, but that is the problem. It is set to brew three specific amounts. The 8oz was measured at exactly 8 ounces which is good because that is what it is labeled, but what the manufacturers and designers did not seem to realize is that coffee cups usually hold 8 OZ. Who wants a cup of coffee where the coffee is to the brim and leaves no room for even the slightest tipping or bumping resulting in painful burns. This does not even account for those who like cream or sugar, which will clearly not even fit into the cup until some is removed. For an 8oz cup a maximum or 6 oz of coffee should be dispensed. As far as flavor it is on par with any brewed cup of coffee without the use of a paper filter. The filter provided with the machine works fine but you can always tell the difference between a disposable paper filter and a washable filter. The machine heats up and will brew a cup of coffee relatively fast. The auto shut off of 30 minutes seems very much excessive. The auto shut off should be instant because there is no heating to keep the coffee warm after it is brewed. So it should shut off automatically as soon as the brew process has completed. Waiting 30 minutes just seems like a complete waste to me. Overall I like the machine and I will be keeping it, although I hope if they decided to make changes they would send me a free machine because of the ideas I listed here. As far as recommendations it is really kind of iffy. If you drink coffee often and hate cleanup then this is a good machine.

O produto realmente entrega o que promete. Um café delicioso e sem fazer muito barulho. Vale muito a pena

Fácil de usar y muy práctica

Love the combination of being able to grind my coffee beans or using a k cup. Easy to use , everything works perfect , nice and hot . Very happy with the purchase. Great price and quality as well

evita el desperdicio de café, funciona muy bien

Leí comentario positivos y negativos en los.negativos había gente que regreso la cafetera por temas de calidad, en lo personal llevo ya usando la cafetera unos meses y sin duda es una gran compra, funciona perfecto , y el molino así como las cápsulas excelentes , solo hace café americano pero muy buen sabor. Sin duda la recomiendo mucho en color blanco , la color negro creo que es la que ha presentado fallas, en mi caso una gran cafetera se ve increíble y a todo el que le preparo café recién molido le encanta su sabor
