This is my second grind and brew from Cuisinart. The first quit working after 10 months of sporadic use. I returned it for this model and hope I will have better luck. One thing a buyer should know is that you cannot make a whole pot of coffee using the grind feature as the grinder capacity is limited. It works fine for the two of us, but for a larger pot you need to use ground coffee. The coffee tastes good and we are pleased so far.
