Grind and Brew Best Ever

I've had two other Cuisinart Grind and Brew machines, neither of which had the stainless steel carafe. The first one was purchased about 7 years ago, the second purchased to replace the first because we wanted to change from white to black. Both the older machines still work. We decided to get the stainless steel version so that we could avoid having to pour the coffee in a carafe every morning. Cuisinart is the best coffee machine I've used. We love the Grind and Brew because it makes the freshest tasting coffee. Don't have any problems with washing the parts to make a new pot of coffee. The stainless steel carafe version is actually easier to wash because they changed the design. Our first machine had some minor parts break which were replaced right before the three year warranty was up. You can't beat the warranty or the coffee.
