I love to have freshly ground coffee every morning. So I bought my first Cuisinart grind and brew coffee machine, about 4 years ago. I have gone through 4 different models of Cuisinart grind and brews each lasting 1 year!!! I used to think that Cuisinart was a great brand. But their grind are brew coffee makers are JUNK!!! My fourth one just broke a few days ago, I have had the same two problems with each one of them. Either the pot itself leaks, or the burner stops working. I am currently in the market for a new brand of grind and brews, if you have any suggestions let me know!!!
