Breville - the Grind Control 12-Cup Coffee Maker - Brushed Stainless Steel

This is my second Grind and Brew from Breville. I wouldn't have any other coffee pot. It provides choices for grinding and consistent outcome. It eliminates the need to have another small appliance on the counter - my Cuisinart grinder went to Good Will! Its structural organization makes sense with the water pour section in the back/big enough space and hearty control functions in the top, front. The most important part is the ability to keep the coffee hot without cooking it longer. Because there's a stainless steel carafe, the coffee is ready to drink at any time and thankfully there's no need to keep the warmer on because coffee sitting on a warmer changes the flavor - it's more bitter as time goes on. I've had other high end coffee pots, but this one is worth being purchased a second time.

Absolutely love this machine! It replaced my Keurig 2.0. Very easy to use. Love the feature of single use versus a 12 cup pot. The stainless steel carafe keeps coffee steaming hot for at least two hours. Worth every penny.

Looks great and works exactly as expected. Makes excellent coffee and gives a great experience to your mornings. Is a little bit of more work than in a traditional coffee drop but pays you back with a consistent flavor, perfect temperature and the thermos works as promised. I have had a warm cup of coffee 5 hours after brewed!! It's worth every dollar and makes your kitchen look fancy and innovative. JC01

Bought this coffee maker about 6 months ago and I have been very happy with the purchase. Makes a great cup of coffee, is easy to use, cleaning is easy, and is very convenient. The single serve cup is my go to method for a quick and delicious cup of coffee for my morning drive.

I wanted this to be the best coffee machine I ever had but man o man, where to begin. After the 1st few days of using it I was really frustrated and was going to send it back to best best. Coffee was more water than coffee. Didnt matter the grind or brew setting, we even changed the brand of beans. Nothing helped. A quick youtube search and I found out how to calibrate the weight of the coffee and that fixed it, but only kinda. to get this machine to work I've been using it with the hopper lid off and guiding the beans into the front of the grinder to make sure it always has beans in on top of the acculle blades. There is no way the make this happen without manually doing so. So you can not pre-set it at night and let it just work like other brewers. If you can stand there and make sure it is feeding beans into the shot then it does make a real great cup, but again its kind of a pain. The clean up after every cycle isn't that bad and I deal with pre-heating the craft, just letting my hottest water out of the tap run into the craft, while I clean out the last batch, BUT MAN O MAN NOT WORTH THE MONEY. Still thinking about taking it back or at least getting a cheap dripper as a backup when I don't have time. O, speaking of time it does cycle rather quickly. So that's a plus.
