GB1 Coffee Center Grind and Brew Plus, Built-in Coffee Grinder, Coffeemaker and Single-Serve Brewer with 6oz, 8oz and 10oz Serving Size, Black/Silver

the coffee maker was good but I got a bill from Fedex for delivery that I didn't expect because I'm an amazon prime member

Muy aceptable, café bien caliente y funciona como en la descripción, las cápsulas no son universales como dice ahí, las encuentras como k-cup.

Even though there's a $30 shipping and handling fee, don't be surprised if you get another bill for over $50 from Purolator for the same service, for around the same money you can get a coffee maker with a Burr grinder built in which is considerably Superior to this grinder

Prepara el café de forma sencilla y conserva el sabor

Bought in April,2024 I had to replace my older grind and brew so I went with this one. With the old one, it was pretty easy to fill the hopper on top with beans from time to time and forget about it.A frequent brushing out to keep the pathway clear for the ground coffee and you were all set. This new one is not a burr grinder but a blade chopper. It requires disassembly, cleaning and drying after each use. To brew a pot of coffee you have to measure the beans into the grinder assembly each time being careful not to overload it. The steam from the hot water rises up into the grinder during brewing and makes a slushy coffee powder paste inside that needs to be cleaned to make another pot. This model also has a kcup section that lets you brew individual cups using pods or you can buy the filter assembly so you can use ground coffee to make your own “pods”. I’ve had it for a few months now and it brews a fine pot of coffee automatically for us every morning with no issues. It would be nice to have a water level window in the tank for the kcups.you have to constantly look inside with a light to see if there is water and so you don’t over fill…it’s kind of an idiot design. That being said I feel we do use a bit less coffee measuring out the beans by hand instead of letting the grinder decide when to stop…and the coffee is great. The labor intensive process would make me not buy this again tho, as I was spoiled by the original burr grind and brew. It would be much easier just getting a bean grinder and using my old stove top percolator. Oh and the 12oz setting on the pod machine is a bit more than 16ozs when measured in a measuring cup so proceed accordingly. It gets 3 stars because it makes a good pot of coffee ( 3 1/2 stars if I could) but I dropped 2 stars for the labor intensive process involved and an assembly that spins that fast to grind the beans has got to wear, so I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop and have to buy replacement parts…I will keep you posted… December 3,2024.. About 7 months later and it still makes a great cup of coffee. It still auto brews at 8 am everyday and it’s still a pain in the butt to clean and dry the grinder each time I brew. And as I suspected the grinder parts are showing signs of wear so I’m shopping for spare parts and researching after market as opposed to trying to get it from the manufacturer direct…they’re a little pricey from them. But over all it’s still working well. I reached out to Cusinart with pictures of the wear on the grinder parts after only 7 months and they did respond with replacement parts..they’re under warranty UPDATE! This just burnt up on my counter as the coffee violently boiled in the carafe…I had to un plug it…it’s crap …I bought this on April 15th and it burned up on Super Bowl Sunday morning…Glad we were home This morning I Spent all morning on the phone.You get no credit from Cuisinart if you buy your stuff on Amazon.Theyll just offer a replacement.But it’s a fire hazard.So the rep shopped around to see what they have with a thermal carafe and no heat plate.Long story short,it cost me another$29! To get the only thing they had that my wife would even let in th house! Hope they make good use of that $29 as it is the last money they ever see from me.On the up side ,customer service was helpful and they can’t help it if the company they work for sucks. Don’t buy this crap ,it’s not safe and they don’t seem to care… Spend the extra money and get a Breville grind and brew…Holy Smokes what a difference YET ANOTHER UPDATE The replacement DGB- 850 grind and brew maker that I had to pay an extra$29 for it as a replacement makes the weakest, crappiest coffee of any coffee maker I’ve ever owned. I’ve tried different beans and the only way I can get a decent pot of coffee is to set it for 10 cups on the grinder control and use only 8 cups of water…this thing sucks badly…In the future I certainly wouldn’t buy Cuisinart anything…terrible stuff
