Cuisinart combines bean-grinding and coffee-brewing into one with their Automatic Grind and Brew machine. Just pour in your favorite coffee beans and this coffee maker automatically grinds them for you. The built-in charcoal filter eliminates chlorine and bad odors from tap water so you get a freshly brewed pot every time. Program it for a preset time and let the fresh aroma wake you in the morning. The thermal carafe holds up to 10 cups of coffee and you can even interrupt the process to grab a cup before it's done, thanks to the Brew Pause feature. Push a button and it will brew from one to four cups only; adjust the amount of beans accordingly. An audible tone lets you know when the entire pot has finished. The grinder (in the top above the coffee maker and carafe) removes for easy cleanup - just rinse under hot water and towel dry and it's ready to brew again! The thermal carafe keeps coffee warm for several hours, so even if you're away for a bit, you can still enjoy a hot, steamy cup when you return. Comes with a Gold Tone filter (paper filters not needed).

Dream of amazing coffee, nightmare in disguise...
I've had this coffee maker since last Christmas, and it is such a pain, it is not worth having the grinding unit in the coffee maker. As another writer had stated, the grinder fills with steam and becomes a sludgie mess. Coffee dust finds its way into other nooks & crevices of the maker so the filter door sticks shut, the coffee chamber doesn't hold enough beans for 12 cups of coffee, the grinder grinds too fine so that it doesn't work with the enclosed gold filter and you get coffee sludge in the pot of coffee....I could go on.
I got better results with rinsing the grinder immediately after brewing, and with switching to paper filters, but ultimately I bought a separate coffee grinder and much less expensive Mr. Coffee and got better results, less maintenance & less headache.
If you're like me, you may want to buy this dreaming of amazing freshly ground and brewed coffee waiting for you in the morning. I'm warning you of the nightmare on the other end. Please, avoid this product.
