Cuisinart Automatic Coffeemaker Grind & Brew, 12-Cup Glass, Black

The Cuisinart Grind & Brew Automatic Coffeemaker from the Premier Series offers the best of expert coffeemaking technology in a 12-cup model, delivering unsurpassed ease of use and rich, full-bodied coffee flavor. Featuring elegant Italian styling and a graceful carafe, this deluxe unit is a beautiful addition to any kitchen.

Fully programmable up to 24 hours in advance, this user-friendly coffeemaker automatically grinds whole beans right before brewing to ensure the freshest, most flavorful cup of coffee. The Brew Pause feature even allows you to enjoy a cup mid-brew. An adjustable auto-shutoff function lets you set the unit to turn off up to 4 hours after the cycle completes.

The separate grinding assembly and filter chamber make it easy to add beans and remove used grounds. A "grind off" control turns the grinder off when pre-ground coffee is used. A 1-4 cup setting improves extraction and flavor when making fewer than 5 cups.

The included 60-ounce glass carafe offers an ergonomic handle, knuckle guard, and dripless pour spout for graceful serving. Other highlights include a charcoal water filter to remove impurities, as well as a commercial-style gold tone permanent filter for pure flavor.

For the perfect cup of coffee, Cuisinart has designed this machine with four key elements in mind:

Water Quality: Since coffee is 98% water, the quality of that water is crucial. The built-in charcoal filter eliminates chlorine, bad tastes, and odors, ensuring the purest coffee flavor.

Coffee Beans: To replicate the great taste of a coffee shop, use fresh, whole-bean coffee. Buy only a 2-week supply at a time to minimize flavor degradation after grinding. If freezing larger amounts, store in airtight containers and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Grind: The optimal grind is medium, as preset on the Grind & Brew. Too fine a grind can lead to bitterness, while too coarse results in under-extraction.

Proportion: Follow the recommended coffee-to-water ratios, then adjust to your personal taste. The Grind & Brew brews up to twelve 5-ounce cups.

With its separate grinder and filter areas for easy cleanup, plus a 3-year limited warranty, the Cuisinart Grind & Brew Automatic Coffeemaker is the ultimate in user-friendly, premium-quality home brewing. Wake up to the aroma of freshly ground, perfectly brewed coffee every morning.
