Grind and Brew coffeemaker keeps the coffee coming

I'm on a coffee kick. Of course, that's not saying much as I am usually on a coffee kick, and have been for a very long time. I, like many others, watched the country as people were introduced to what good coffee was. No longer did we have to suffer the mugs of cheap, flavorless corner store brew. Suddenly, there were half-decent options everywhere. Luckily, not only did coffee improve, but also coffee making. So in addition to being treated to more delicious options, there are also better ways to make coffee--and more specifically, keep it warm.

The Cuisinart Grind & Brew Thermal 10-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker follows in this tradition by using a thermal carafe to keep coffee at the ready. One thing we all know is that immediate access to coffee is a good thing. Otherwise nobody would have bothered ever inventing instant. The double-wall insulated, brushed-metal thermal carafe included in this coffeemaker keeps 10 cups of coffee warm for hours. No longer must coffee lovers see their beloved brew decimated by leaving it on the burner for too long.

Not only does this coffee maker improve on coffee-in-waiting, but it also streamlines the process for actual coffee making. The automatic coffee maker incorporates a timer and grinding options. Complete with a gold tone commercial-style permanent filter, a 24-hour timer, and an integrated charcoal filter, the Grind & Brew Coffeemaker brings quality coffee in-line with instant gratification. The best part is, no fumbling with the coffeemaker early in the morning. Freshly ground brewed coffee waiting for you when you wake up--and if you oversleep, it will still taste just as good.

We've had one of these for years. The problem is that my wife and I get up at different times. The solution, Keurig http://www.keurig.com/AW/index.html. Now I just make a fresh cup of coffee that is brewed in less than one minute (and actually tastes great) and my wife "hits" the Brew button on the Cuisnart when she gets up.
