Cuisinart Coffee Makers Grind & Brew™ 12 Cup Automatic Coffeemaker

After 15 years I replaced my Grind & Brew 12 Cup with the same model, except the front is stainless steel instead of all black and much more attractive! The only reason I replaced my old one was I inadvertently threw away the lid to the filter basket. Rather than try to find/ purchase a replacement lid/basket assembly, I thought, “What the heck? Im just going to buy a new coffee maker!” So sad because my old one was still going strong, though a bit worn. But I love the new one just like my old one. I love the option of grinding whole coffee beans, which is my preferred method, or using already ground coffee, which comes in quite handy at times. I love the simplicity of using this coffee maker. Yes. One must clean/rinse and dry the basket and container holding the coffee beans after each use. But so worth it and so reasonably priced.
