Customers are mixed about the performance of the coffee grinder.

Customers are mixed about the temperature of the coffee. Some mention that the temperature is just about perfect, and the coffee remains hot in the thermal carafe, while others say that the coffee was not warm, does not stay hot in carafie, the hot plate shuts off and the brew temperature gets cool to fast. The steel pot sucks all the heat out of the water, and it's not as pictured. The thermo carafer is horrible and hard to pour, and door routinely pops open, dumping hot coffee on the counter and stopping the bw cycle.

1) I like coffee in the morning
2) I hate *making* coffee in the morning
3) If I don't have coffee at home in the morning, it's usually a fair bit before I can wrangle a cup together at work and I'm awfully grumpy during that interval
4) My cheapo $30 burr grinder was starting to die
5) I like my coffee freshly ground
Before this coffeemaker, I didn't really have a good solution. Some days, I'd manage to make a pot, others I wouldn't. Grinding in the evening and programming the coffeemaker? What am I, a savage?
Enter the Grind-and-Brew. Store beans in the top? Fill with water and program? And it grinds and brews for me in the morning? Wow! Fresh coffee, made the way I like it, without all the hassle of grinding in the morning. The coffee is good, the filter isn't too terribly hard to clean, and the problem with the pot that others talk about (not being able to empty the whole carafe) doesn't seem to affect my thermal carafe. Maybe they've updated the design.
Now, there are downsides, and these are mostly related to the thermal carafe. I'm a big fan of thermal carafes (which are insulated to keep the coffee hot, rather than designed to cook the coffee slowly on a hot plate). If you want your coffee super-hot, you need to warm the carafe before you brew. This is accomplished by rinsing it with a bit of hot water. Not hard... but not something that fits into my new morning workflow. I've found that the coffee remains satisfactorily hot for long enough if I don't preheat given a few conditions: 1) brew 8 cups or more 2) don't use refrigerated creamer/milk/whatever.
While not a solution for everybody, if you want freshly-ground-and-brewed coffee waiting for you when you wake up, this monster (it's quite large) hits the spot.
The problem is that the settings for strength and number of cups do not grind enough beans to create the proper strength for my tastes. (Think "starbucks" coffee strength...in fact, I buy only Starbucks beans). To accommodate my tastes, I have the "strength" set to "strong" and then set the number of cups to two cups higher than what I'm making. So if I'm making 4 cups of coffee, I have to set the coffee maker to 6 cups. This effectively makes this a 10 cup coffee maker, and not a 12 cup. I can say this is a discrepancy with the grinder, since if I measure out 1 tablespoon of already ground coffee per cup, the coffee strength is correct sans grinder. So it is something to do with the grinder measurement. And yes, I have confirmed that the grinder "chute" is nice and clean. So it is not because the grinder is blocked or anything. It is just the way Cuisinart has set the measurement for grinding. To me that is too weak. But, it is no big deal for me to just set the cup count higher.
I've also read comments below about the carafe. Give me a break...it is a THERMAL carafe. If you don't want that feature, then don't buy this model. Cuisinart and others make plenty of models without the thermal carafe. By virtue of the way a thermal carafe works, it is able to keep things either hot or cold. For hot liquids, to get the best results with ANY Thermos, it is best to pre-heat the carafe with hot-water if you are going to put hot liquid into it. Otherwise, (and as a matter of physics), the heat will transfer from the hot liquid to the stainless steel carafe (cooling your liquid, and heating the carafe). That is just the way of physics. So if you want your coffee to be hot with this model, you MUST preheat the carafe with hot water (I use plain hot water from the tap). The nice thing is that the coffee then STAYS hot for several hours, without having it gum up because it has been on a burner all that time. Seriously, I've had numerous thermal carafe coffee makers, as well as thermoses, and ALL needed to be preheated with hot water for best results. Don't blame Cuisinart because you might not like the inconvenience of dealing with a thermal carafe. They ALL work this way. As I say above, if that inconvenience of preheating the carafe is a problem for you, then simply buy a coffeemaker with a regular carafe and heat plate. (Ok...rant over...)
In general, I like the design, and I believe this model has a nice look. It works pretty well, and I've no operational issues since Dec '09 when I purchased.
When my old Braun coffee maker died, I needed to find a replacement. For me, I wanted several features in my coffee-maker: Water-filter, Re-usable Coffee filter (gold basket), and a Thermal carafe. There are very few coffee-makers on the market with all of these features. The integrated bean grinder was a new feature, that I thought would be pretty cool. It is. I very much appreciate the set-up time for this machine, and it seems to be a lot more convenient for me than my old Braun.
Finally, with the settings I mention above, the coffee product it makes is delicious. Over the holidays we had several compliments on how good the coffee tasted...so much so that others wanted to know my recipe. (And there really isn't a recipe...it's simple...1 tablespoon of coffee per cup, and a good brewer. Just goes to show how people get used to crap coffeemakers and/or being stingy on the amount of coffee they use to brew...)
So, with all that said, would I buy this model again? You betcha! It's a great coffeemaker. I would recommend to Cuisinart to adjust the grinding settings...but then they'll get complaints (like I already saw below) that is uses too much coffee. To those critics, all I can say if you are buying this coffee maker you are wasting your money...you obviously can't appreciate what it takes to make a good cup of coffee. Go buy the $20 model and keep using your Maxwell House or Folgers supermarket filler.
"The Coffee Snob..." (LOL!)
