Cuisinart Automatic Grind and Brew Thermal Review

I have enjoyed this product thoroughly. I loved the fact that it has its own grinder and that there is a thermal pot that keeps the coffee. No more scalded coffee. However after a couple of years this product started popping open it's filter door and thus spilling hot water everywhere. It still functioned but had to be watched during its brew cycle in case it popped open. We still enjoyed this product for awhile longer even if we were disappointed. I loved the fact that you could program it the night before and wake up to hot, not burned coffee. The Cuisinart Grind and Brew Thermal was a fabulous idea....but needs some serious tweeking to make it last . I paid $100 for this product and expect it to function properly and last longer than it has. Ours finally stopped functioning about a month ago, the grinder just stopped grinding. We now use it with pre ground coffee and it still pops the door open on occassioin but brews the coffee with the pre ground coffee. Not a horrible product but needs to last much longer, great concept though.
