Cuisinart grind and brew 12 cup coffee maker Review

Cuisinart Grind and Brew....

I love my Starbucks Coffee.  The grind and brew is the simpliest and least messy method that I have ever found in order to have this privileged delite at home in the mornings.

I used to have a separate coffee bean grinder which preserved the wonderful taste of fresh beans, but it meant grinding in one recepticle then transferring the ground coffee  to my coffee maker.  How happy I was when they came out with a reasonably priced at home type coffee maker that was good at first grinding the beans then brewing the coffee, and easy to clean up.

My first machine that did this was a foreign brand that was imported and very costly...the grinder broke on my first two and they couldn't or wouldn't fix it for me...in the mean time I happened upon this Cuisinart and it has never failed me.  It has the programable features, but I feel that making my coffee the night before is self defeating, I love the smell of the fresh beans in the morning and as exposure to air is what lessons the impact of having "fresh" beans I prefer to keep my beans in an airtight container and grind them immediately before brewing my favorite morning drink.
