I love the idea of this model, but the burr grinder is high maintenance and it is hard to make a strong pot of coffee. Additionally, the grinder is very loud and warming is limited to 4 hours without the ability to reheat.  Overall, I am very disappointed on the quality of this product. Furthermore Cuisinart support was. It will to stand behind their product since it wasn’t purchased directly from them. This tells me a lot about their products and causes me pausé in considering Cuisinart products on the future.
