Coffee Maker & Grinder - Thermal Carafe - Stainless steel

A unique way to pamper the coffee lover. The 10 cup automatic grind and brew coffee maker is designed to wake you up with the smell of the freshest, most flavourful coffee imaginable -- the kind you would go to your favourite coffee bar to get. This smart coffeemaker has a built-in grinder that grinds the beans just before brewing (or push the Grind Off button to use with ground coffee). Program the machine with the number of cups you'd like and just enough water will be delivered to extract all of the good flavour and none of the bitterness. The double-wall insulated thermal carafe will keep the coffee hot for hours.
A variety of adjustable features makes this the ultimate user-friendly coffee maker. A 24-hour fully programmable timer guarantees delicious, fresh-brewed coffee just when you want it. The handy Brew Pause feature lets you enjoy a cup of coffee before brewing has finished. An automatic shut-off control turns the coffee maker off right after brewing or up to 4 hours later. A "1 - 4 cups" setting provides full flavour when brewing just a few cups. A charcoal water filter removes impurities from the water before brewing. A separate grinder chamber and filter area make for easy cleanup. Includes a permanent gold tone filter.
Brushed stainless steel.
3 year limited warranty.

Customer Review: OK but not great
The Grind and Brew coffee maker is not horrible, but it is not good. I have been using mine for about two years, so it is relatively sturdy and has held up well to daily use. The convenience of the built in grinder is nice, however the drawbacks outweigh any benefits the automated feature may give you. 1- The grind is TERRIBLE. There are fine grounds, as well as whole beans left in the grinder. 2- Because there are always a lot of grounds as well as whole beans left in the grinder, they get moist after the coffee brews which makes the grinder difficult to clean. 3- The grinder needs to be cleaned after every use. 4- Because of the unevenness of the grind the coffee doesn't really taste that great. It's not terrible, but it is not a lovely fresh robust cup of coffee that you get from a nice evenly ground bean. 5- I'm not sure why, but recently my coffee pot has been 'exploding'. The coffee goes everywhere but into the pot while it is brewing. Because of this, I will probably replace this machine soon with a burr grinder and separate brewer. I do love to buy whole beans. I was hoping that this machine would be convenient and brew tasty coffee. Unfortunately that is not the case.
Customer Review: Poor design...junk
Do not buy it. We got this as a Christmas present two years ago & right away I spotted a design flaw. I noticed when you make your coffee that the heat & steam rises in to the control panel above the carafe causing all sorts of malfunctions. Needless to say we sent it back to the manufacturer for a replacement (boy, did that take forever & a day) when we got the the replacement it called it quits after 5 months by only producing half of the coffee you made. We maintained both very well & changed the water filters as instructed but this thing failed again & again.
