Cuisinart Grind and Brew - Thermal Coffee Maker Review

At first I used this coffee maker to make freshly ground coffee.  The coffee tasted great, but there were always grounds in the bottom of the pot so I couldn't drink the last 1/2 cup in the pot.  I got tired of washing all the parts every day and I don't have a dishwasher, so I have to wash them by hand.  So, I started using it to make coffee without using the grinder.  There are less parts to wash, and sometimes I just take the parts out of the machine and let them dry out in between making coffee.  But, there are still grounds in my coffee, what's the deal with that?  I never had that happen with any other coffee maker and I don't like that fact.  When this coffee maker takes a dive, which it will someday, I will try another brand to replace it.
