This is our third or fourth Grind and Brew, so we are obviously fans. The weak point is the grinder. There is little else to go wrong with the unit. All of the previous units have eventually (several years of daily use) had a problem with the grinder motor or the spindle. On this unit however, after about 1 week, it started to leak water. We always set it up the night before so that it's ready to start in the morning. This one had a leaky reservoir and lost a couple cups of water overnight. Cuisinart customer service was excellent and our new one should arrive today (thanks Courtney). There's no match to freshly ground coffee.
