Question: Why do I end up with grounds in my coffee every time? I've tried disposable filters, the reusable filter, and both.
Document: To fix this problem I had no choice but to go back to paper filters.3. The last fatal design flaw in this machine is the top to the coffee filter. I assume that this was Cuisinart's attempt to stop some of the steam from coming up into the grinder - not. This is just another part that you have to clean EVERY time you use the machine as it gets coffee all over it and is also a wet coffee grounds mess.
The grinding chamber gets moisture in it from the steam so when you try to make a second pot, the coffee grounds clump and get stuck in it and you end up with a pot of water and wasted coffee beans. You need to wipe it clean after every use which doesn't save any time or steps. Kind of defeats the purpose of an all-in-one unit.
I've spend hours trying to clean the lid. I have tried rinsing, spraying, wiping, pipe cleanering, tapping it on the sink to dislodge grounds, everything. VERY FRUSTRATING!Anyone know how to stop the leaking all over the counter?
This is my second 'grind/brew' Cuisinart coffee maker, however the first with a thermal pot. I've had it for a couple of weeks and have to say that I'm delightfully surprised with its performance. I can actually taste the difference in the coffee which I hadn't expected. I do find that the paper filters work better than the permanent filter because I don't like the sediment it leaves.
The same pot comes without the grinder. I've used it and the coffee is just as good.Point 2 here is that I did not see any indication that this pot came with the gold tone filter basket in the ad so I bought 2 (yes 2, I bought 2 of these coffee pots) now I have 2 extra of these filters which I'm sure I'll never need. I could return all of this but I probably won't, not worth the hassle.
This is our second Cuisinart Grind and Brew. We especially like the built-in grinder. Add water, beans, and filter, push the button, and voila. The carafe keeps coffee hot for hours (best to preheat with hot water). If using paper filters, be sure to place them carefully. Otherwise they can scrunch, causing grounds to clog the valve and coffee to overflow. No worries with a gold filter, but you'll have some sediment.
I tried 5 times to get a good cup of coffee from this expensive coffee maker by Cuisinart. The only time I got a decent cup was when I ground the coffee in my old grinder. When I used the built-in grinder, the coffee was extremely weak. The last straw for me was opening up the machine and noticing that about 1/3 of the coffee in the filter wasn't even WET! I packed it up and returned it. For me, a simple machine will make better coffee.
I'm used to this coffee maker but do realize you have to take the grinder OUT and clean it after each use....and the grounds basket (the gold filter basket), it's not that big of a deal but I see some people complain about it. I set ours up every night while cleaning up after dinner so it's set to go. Wouldn't really want to mess with it the next morning while waiting for coffee.
I recently purchased this Cuisinart Grind Brew Coffeemaker. The first week, brewed a 10 cup pot. Coffee grinds backwashed everywhere. Thought I had done something wrong. Tried again, worked fine. Every week thereafter, at least once a week I had the same problem. Making coffee should not be "rocket science". The last time I made coffee, the coffee grinds poured out twice in a row. Called Cuisinart and they replaced it with a new unit. Free shipping.
I leave it on my desk at work, and have it programmed to grind/brew right before I arrive in the morning. And it's awesome. Only used it several times so far, but no complaints. Cleaning is relatively easy - but (like any other coffee brewer/grinder I assume) you have to clean it every day. Not a big deal though, so far I've just been taking the grinder and filter parts out, and rinsing them out.
Answer: I've never had any issues.  I use coffee beans and grind them into the reusable filter and I fill the beans to the top as well as coffee pot.  It sounds like the water is flowing too quickly into the filter and causing the grinds to "splash around'.  Maybe trying the "1-4" feature and see if that avoids the problem
