One of my close friends is... the infamous coffee blogger, Charles Dickens. (pen name)
He knows that I do a lot of consumer research blogging, where I test different appliances, and give my honest review and testimonial either for or against the product. (And trust me, there have been enough negative reviews!)
He sent me an email suggesting we get together to try out the Cuisinart Grind-and-Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemakers. I said great, and I had him come over my home that Saturday for a test run.
Here is a short video clip describing the home brewer that John sent me in the email:
Before I get into my review, I must confess I am partial toward Cuisinart, as I do know, from actual previous tests, that they do make GREAT appliances.
So here's what happened that weekend. (Note: it's pretty much not possible to score 10/10)
Test Schedule & Results
- Speed: The Grind-and-Brew works really quickly, surprisingly quickly, for being a 12 cup coffee maker. This really pleases me as I am not a patient person. Especially in the morning, which is when I want my first cup of hot coffee. 9/10 score
- Taste: The quality of the cup of coffee depends on a few things. In this case, the most important factor for you to know, is the quality of the brewing system. Of course, the coffee beans themselves play a HUGE role in the flavor and grade of the coffee. In the end, the Grind-and-Brew really makes a delicious cup of coffee! 8/10 score
- Ease Of Use: It's fairly simple. Just set the specifications and let it run. For us expert brewers, there is an advanced settings area. This is also straightforward. 7.5/10 score
- Affordability: When I asked Charles what the price of this machine was, I assumed it was going to be in the 300 range. But he looked shocked and corrected me. It turns out, the Grind-and-Brew 12-Cup is only at the mid-range of 140. This certainly is affordable to most people. 9/10 score
I'm happy with this machine. The home brewer produces a very fine cup of hot coffee at a very reasonable price. I honestly believe this is one of the best multi-cup automatic home coffee brewers you are going to get! It's pretty much unmatched.
How To Get Yours
I receive so many emails from people after I review a product, in which they complain that I don't just give them a direct link to what I'm testing so they can get their own to play with!
So here you go cry babies! Just click on the one you want!
The one on the left is the 900, it's faster and has more capacity. I like this more than the 550. But I approve of both.
