This is my Cuisinart Sucks story::  I had a grind and brew pot. It was great for a few months, then it started to leak all over the counter. Fortunately, I bought it at Costco so returning it for a refund was easy.

Email received from this unfortunate family: Reading your blog tonight. had to just tell you folks that I'm the worst case scenario; my house actually did burn down because of a Cuisinart grind and brew coffee maker!!! I live in Canada, and it happened in October of this year.

This is my Cuisinart Sucks story:: yes - I have 3 coffee makers that all lose power - just randomally shut off.  3 different models - all grind and brew.  all Cuisinart.
