What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the fresh, rich taste of coffee from grinding whole beans, with many highlighting superior flavor and aroma compared to pre-ground or pod alternatives. Most appreciate the customization options for cup size and brew strength, compact design, and quick brewing under two minutes. However, a notable group reports persistent grinder jamming and clogging issues that undermine reliability. Despite these mechanical concerns, most customers find the fresh coffee quality and convenience outweigh the drawbacks, making it a worthwhile upgrade from pod systems.

Makes a great cup of coffee!

Would Recommend

I decided to upgrade from my Keurig but I still wanted a single cup coffee maker. So far I am really enjoying the Cuisinart Grind and Brew.

This is is easy to use!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ahhh so happy to have gotten this coffee pot. I was a little weary based off previous reviews, but this has been nothing but easy to use for me. It's so simply, add beans to the top, make sure water is in, and chose your grind and water! It brews FAST. Fast enough where you can stand there and wait for a 16 oz cup. Way faster than a traditional brew. The taste is more similar to Keurig style coffee, which I'm assuming is because it brews so fas...

Grinder unreliable.

Would Not Recommend

Ground coffee works fine. When I use coffee beans it is inconsistent. It doesn’t grind or stops mid grind. I have to take it apart including the burr and reassemble. An annoyance when you just want a cup. I’m wondering if some beans are too small and jam the grinder. I’m using Community Coffee. Also did not get the brush to aid in cleaning. Disappointed. I’ve made 6 cups with beans, it hasn’t worked 3 times

Delicious and efficient

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone who has used a coffee of Maine for the better part of a decade, the Cuisinart Grind and Brew is such a great! I have always sacrificed the quality of my morning coffee for the sake of not having to buy multiple machines and a messy cleanup. But this machine not only makes an amazing cup of coffee, but grinds the beans makes such little mess too clean up! I also like the fact that I can used ground beans as well, bc not all coffe...

Cuisinart Single Cup Coffee Maker

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really nice coffee maker. You can use whole beans or even free ground coffee in the machine. It has multiple different cupsizes and you can even use your travel mug to take coffee on the go. It also looks really pretty on the counter and matches my other appliances.

Great Coffee Maker for Simple Home Use

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good coffee maker, freshly grinds (grinder is LOUD but doesn't bother me) and has a wide range of settings for brew strength, amount, over-ice etc. Great for someone that wants an all in one solution that is simple to use. For a deep afficionado - get a separate grinder and coffee maker to tinker with settings to the nth degree. For everyone else - this is a good alternative.

My new best friend!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee machine is my new best friend! I'm working from home and need tons of single cup of good coffee. I'm using it every day to drink cold or hot coffee. It's so easy to use and easy to clean. I love using real coffee and not pod

Fresh ground coffee

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After trying the Cusinart Grind and Brew Single serve coffee machine, I’m impressed. I was able to make an iced coffee using fresh whole coffee beans and it was quick and easy to do. I was a bit daunted at first using this fancy coffee machine, but realized there’s only two buttons to press to adjust your preferences. I like how I can make myself a fresh cup of coffee that can be small as 8oz or as much as 24oz. This machine also self adjusts t...

Custom Grind and Brew Single-Cup Coffee Maker

Just OK, belches steam everywhere during brew process, coffee is hot, not the best flavor, will probably return.

Great and Convenient

Would Not Recommend

After going through 2 Keurig machines in less than a year, I saw this machine and thought it would be a nice change in terms of reliability, longevity, convenience, and coffee taste. This machine makes brewing a cup of coffee so easy (as easy as using pods), but the coffee is so much better, and I am not limited to just coffee.

We bought it a week ago and so far we really like the coffee it makes even better than a French press. We highly recommended.

Fresh and aromatic coffee at home!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this coffee maker because I can enjoy freshly ground and prepared coffee at home! It’s really easy to use it and to adjust it to any coffee cup you need and it’s easy to clean it up afterwards. I really enjoy my aromatic coffee from my new single serve coffee maker!

So cool

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have fallen in love with this coffee maker! I have had another one for a few years that uses kcups and I was so happy to get this one as it actually has a grinder inside that you can put whole beans in. That’s actually my favorite way to drink coffee because to me it tastes better, more fresh. The cool thing with this one is all you have to do is fill up the reservoir with water and fill up the grinder part with beans. You don’t even need to...

Pretty Awesome!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee machine is pretty neat! You have the option of either putting in your own ground coffee or it'll grind it for you and put the right amount of ground coffee in, depending on how bold you want your cup. There is also a setting for iced coffee as well. You can do anywhere from 8 oz to 24 oz! My only gripe is that it won't accommodate our tall travel mugs. The bottom does come out to accommodate a taller mug, but it won't fit our t...
