Bought this model as a replacement for my 15 year old Grind & Brew that had a stainless steel carafe and was a dream.  Not impressed with this replacement.  The unit is super loud, the grinder shoots grounds all over the top of the filter basket, the lid on the glass carafe doesn’t stay in place and the heating element is so hot it burns the coffee after only one hour. It all looks and functions like a cheap knockoff. I expected more from Cuisinart.
