The Cuisinart Professional Grind & Brew Plus is a fully automatic, bean-to-cup filter coffee machine. It freshly grinds your beans using a built-in burr grinder for optimal flavour extraction without friction. This machine allows you to brew from 2 to 12 cups of coffee, with adjustable strength settings (mild, medium, strong). You can use whole beans or pre-ground coffee. The double-walled thermal carafe keeps coffee warm and fresh for hours. It is fully programmable, allowing you to schedule coffee brewing. The machine includes a professional gold-tone filter and two charcoal filters for water purification and limescale prevention. No paper filters are needed.
