The Cuisinart Grind & Brew Automatic coffee machine grinds fresh coffee beans just before brewing. The filter coffee machine is fully automatic, it can make up to ten cups of coffee in just eight minutes and is fully programmable with an auto-start time feature; also includes automatic shut-off once brewing is complete. The Grind off option allows pre-ground beans to be used as well. Commercial Gold Tone Filter means there is no need for paper filters so brewing is more convenient and wastage is reduced. Separate grinding chamber and filter area makes cleaning easy and a insulated thermal carafe with vacuum sealed lid keeps your coffee hot and fresh for hours.
