Cuisinart Grind and Brew - Thermal Coffee Maker — 

In defense of the Cuinsinart Grind & Brew, I have had mine for a few years. It was great for the first part but within the last couple years it has taken to clogging & overflowing onto the countertop. I can't locate where the clog is happening even after dissecting the machine & washing each bit. It happens again & again & again.  It's very frustrating & VERY messy. You really have to stay on top of cleaning it or it totally fails. And sometimes you can clean the thing out & the next pot will go all over the countertop!

The coffee from the Grind & Brew Thermal also doesn't stay as hot as I would like for as long as I would like but I do love the convienence of it, the looks of it & the coffee tastes fantastic when it brews without clogging.

I probably wouldn't buy another one just because they are somewhat pricey & have shown to have some shortcomings that I can't tolerate. There is probably a better unit out there for the money.
