You just have to clean it before you need to use it again so that it dries completely. Occassionally, a few beans might spill into the reservoir, but when you fill it with water, they float and are easily retrieved.
I've had mine for over 5 years and love it. I was shocked to see so many negative reviews of this coffee maker.
I've never had any problems with getting the coffee grounds in the water reservoir. It makes great (strong) coffee just like I like it.
In all these years, the only time it has run over on the counter top is when I forgot to put the pot on the hot plate. As far as cleaning the parts goes, I have always cleaned my coffee maker between uses.
I highly recommend this coffee maker.
I got this coffeemaker as a Christmas gift, and I have to say it was my favorite gift. I love it. The coffee it makes is the best ever.
This is great customer service - a no haggle warranty simply by calling the 800 number and getting a UPS package. The second I have now had for two years and always washed it in the dishwasher.
In this case I felt compelled. This coffee maker is not without flaw.
Let me preface this with saying that I usually do not write reviews. The fist unit I had did not close correctly - no issue it was exchanged immediately - no hassle.
It needs to be cleaned when the grinder is used between pots. On the other hand it provides a high temperature brew, a build-in grinder, a low profile and a THREE year warranty.
Something happened to the drip stop and one call to Cuisinart provided a free new inner grinder assembly - simply based on the serial number. Did I mention the coffee - After some trial I have it down pat - six spoons of eight o'clock Columbia coffee beans to 8 cups of water - heavenly.My wife tries me to drink Starbucks out of convenience, but I'd rather make a better cup at home.I am sold on this unit, especially based on the service provided by the manufacturer and the great coffee it makes.
It was listed for $49.99. I only made 2 or 3 cups each use. The coffee flavor bar adjuster knob only begins at 4 cups which is also the off position. The water sits in the filter and slowly drips into the decanter. I should have researched it. There are a lot of parts to clean and dry every time you decide to make coffee. I purchased this on November 27. However the coffee no longer drains into the decanter.
I've tried brewing with and without a paper filter several times and it no longer works correctly. One time I made about 5 cups and the tase was good. I am going to return it for a refund. Someone mentioned that the coffee tasted watery. I have been wanting a Grind and Brew Machine. I checked for clogs and I checked to see if the decanter was misplaced.
That must have something to do with the foreign manufacturing. I agree and though I increased the coffee strength it did not really improve. It took 20 minutes for the mugs worth amout of coffee water to filter through. I'm going to keep my old Mr.Coffee and just get a new grinder.
Ordered on Amazon and received another model. We had one for several years and when it quit on us, we tried to buy another one. This is very good grind & brew machine. Returned but was charged shipping. Unfortunately, Cruisnart has discontinued this model. We need this model because of limited height restrictions. Not my fault they sent something other than what I ordered. Will not order again.
