Cheri! You saved my life!! I love my grind and brew and didn't want to face facts that I had to buy a replacement. My chute was so clogged, I could've made a cup or two of coffee out of the grounds I scraped out of there. THANK YOU times 100! for creating this video and for Reshoaf for asking you to make it.
I have had this coffee pot for almost 10 years. The coffee grinder stopped working several years ago. My husband and I have been considering spending $$$ on a new grind and brew type coffee pot. I had no idea this needed to be cleaned like this. I had so much coffee packed in the chute. It was rock hard. No wonder the grinder didn't work. Thank you so much for saving us some $$$!!!!!
I can not convey enough thanks to you for making and publishing this video. After watching, I found my little scoop/brush and could not believe how much I was able to clear from the chute and grinder. I really appreciated the tip on using the basket to catch all the grinds. Thank you again. You have majorly contributed to my quality of life.
Thank you soooo much for this video!!!! Our burr had so much backed up it was impacted. We had no idea how much "dust" accumulated after each hopper depletion. So happy we'll get a great cuppa tomorrow morning. Thanks again!
I love, love, love this coffee maker. Bought it after seeing it at a friend's house. So low and behold went to use it the other day and just hot water. As I stood there and scratched my head, I kept thinking there has to be something I missed. I got online here and searched for video's on cleaning this coffee maker...thank you! You saved my day. I had so much gunk inside that spot where the grinder ...omg. I had forgotten completely about cleaning that area, I had cleaned where the beans go down but not the grinding area. Silly me.
Thank you! I have the same coffee maker and took it in for a repair two years ago for this very same problem. After watching your video, I cleaned it and it works perfect! You just saved us a lot of money. Thank you!
Holy crow! Thank you for this video! My sister has this machine! It is coffee maker #2 because the last one ended up in the trash because she could not figure out what went wrong! You saved this Coffeemaker! Great video! Worked like a charm and now she will do as mentioned every time she adds more coffee beans!!!
This video was SOOO helpful! Saved me from buying a brand new machine! My grinder no longer operated correctly and the manually didn't provide adequate cleaning or troubleshooting solutions. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much!!! Your information and video saved my coffee maker!!!! The dark interior of the grind area was difficult to see while cleaning. One of the comments below helped me a lot too..... there was a giant hunk of coffee build up that had hardened and was slowing the grind mechanism down. I was so surprised when I cleaned out a giant hunk of petrified coffee....I actually thought the hunk was a part of the coffee maker!!!! Thanks again! I thought my great coffee maker had died!!!
Thanks alot for this vidieo I have the same old Cuisinart Grinder coffee maker and I have used the grinder but I never cleaned the built up coffee grinds inside so I will do that thanks to you, one thing I noticed is that the newer models come with a "clean button" very nice feature that this coffee machine does not have.
I come back to your video EVERY TIME I forget how to clean the little stinker out!! I have “chemo brain” and my memory is just awful! I wanted to thank you for this very simple YET HELPFUL video! Take care! D
Thank you for this video, which we found on a google search because our Cuisinart machine had stopped working. We thought it was broken and were about to take it back for a refund, we've now followed your instructions, cleaned it, and it's working perfectly again! thank you!
The coffee was spewing out hot water for 3 days and was about to give up till I saw your video! It totally worked (there was a lot of build up). Thank you again!!!
Never knew there was a chute to clean until seeing your video. The grinder jammed this morning and sounded "dead". I thought I was going to have to buy a new Cuisinart. Your video was just what I needed. Many thanks!
Thank you so much for this helpful video! I appreciate your taking the time to change the camera angles, add light, etc. It really helped me know how to do this, and now I'll do it more often. I'll bet our coffee will taste better, too. Thanks again!
Thank you for the video. My grinder was sounding weaker and weaker until it stopped. Mine was so impacted with grounds in the grinder shoot, I needed a knife to cut it loose initially. All is well...I have good coffee again. Thank you!
Our coffee maker wasn't grinding and I remember reading the reviews about the burr grinder. My husband was unplugging the machine and cussing (he really needed his coffee) about how horrible this coffee maker was and he was throwing it away. I asked him to be patient and I watched your video, and cleaned it just as you show,and viola! It worked. It was awesome. Also, I picked up my machine at a garage sale for $10. I got very lucky that day! It's a great coffee maker!
OMG this video is SO HELPFUL! My coffeemaker had been making weaker and weaker coffee, and this morning I just had a big pot of water after I ran the machine. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you for your very clear video! I was never sure if I was doing it right - and I wasn't! Now instead of making the first pot regular strength for 4 cups I put in the 4 cup water level and set the grind for a strong 2 cups. I had so much build up I could have set it for regular 2!
Thanks for posting this as my coffee maker is not grinding anymore but I never knew I had to clean it or how. Now I will go do this procedure on mine and hope it works.
THANK YOU! I have ONE JOB weekend mornings and that is to make coffee and deliver it to my lovely wife in bed. Terror struck when I TWICE attempted to make coffee only to find hot water dripping from our Cuisinart! After spying your video we (myself, my wife, and our oldest son made this a family affair) extricated a sizable chunk -- dare I say a slab -- of coffee -- that rivaled "diamond" on the Mohs Hardness Scale. I raise my coffee mug to you and say "cheers" for posting this video! - Ric Tyler, Bangor, ME USA
Cheri I don't even have the same coffee maker but I still watched your video! I just enjoy listening to whatever you have to say. It's just like talking to a friend. Maybe someday I'll buy the Cusinart and I'll know how to clean it. Right now I'm sticking to my Mr Coffee, 4 cup machine. Hope your enjoying your 4th of July. Keep cool!
I can't take credit for finding either. The tooth brush was a gift and the coffee maker...when we were house hunting here in March 2011, one of the homes we looked at, the owner made a batch of cookies and a pot of coffee for us while we looked over the home. It was very welcome as it was freezing with snow on the ground. They had this coffee pot and that was one of the best cups of coffee! So, naturally, we bought one! hugs
I only have two vices left (I had MANY in my youth). Coffee and beer. By golly, I'm not giving up either if I can help it!! But, congratulations to you on kicking the habit! hugs :)
I don't have glass shower doors anymore, but when I had them I'd use CLR. Spray them, let it sit for at least 15 mins, spray again and scrub with a non-abrasive sponge and rinse off. I'd have to clime into the tub to clean them and don't wear anything you don't want to mess up (yard work clothes). To prevent it from building up so often buy one of those "squeegie" things (that is like a windshild wiper blade) and wipe the water off the door with it after every shower . Hope this helps you :)
thank you! i still cant seem to get the craffe open to clean it, so far so good though!! thanks. revived a tossed out coffee pot at work. score. just gotta get the dang pot open.
I understand how to use the brush to clean out the hopper! I have got to believe that from time to time one should get in the area where the brush is used and clean it out with a wet paper towel. I do this after each use and a considerable amount of gunk (coffee residue) comes out. I cannot imagine the brush being the only thing that is recommended for cleaning. If I did not use the wet paper towel I have got to believe that over the course of time it would get very filthy in the shoot area!!
hmmm ... they do drink tea and good coffee (at cafes for the latter), but somehow think it "normal" to drink instant coffees at home (no doubt while putting on another jumper coz "... yeah, it is a wee cold today" ...) ... even after 10 years here, simply ... crazy! (but NZ and kiwis great in most other ways!!) ... and, in your honour, I chose a coral coloured pashima scarf for work this morning ... such a great colour!
Thanks for this! I had the exact same problem, and I found it quite difficult to reach the chute, even with the brush, since it's sort of down and back, and there's not a lot of room to maneuver. Any suggestions? I ended up taking a Q-tip, removing the head, and then gently twisting it into a curved shape so I could scrape more of the built up grinds, but I feel like there's a better way.
What a cool coffee maker ... NZ has tremendously good coffee at its cafes, but you can imagine as good ole american coffee drinkers how weird it was that at most homes (in my experience) drink basic instant coffee with the proverbial kiwi electric "kettle" that usually has a place on most kitchen counters. and ... another gorgeous top, cheri (and the nails are gorgeous too!) ... have a great day! XO meredith
I have been using these procedures since I got my Cuisinart, great job in showing everyone. Recently, the bean hopper is stuck and I cannot remove it, have turned the know back and forth a number of times but no luck. Any suggestions?
We have a Keurig now so I don't have to clean up the coffee mess anymore. Would love a video on cleaning a glass shower door, it's the worst to clean and need any hints on products to remove that white grime.
Thank you, this top my grand-baby picked out when she and I were shopping, she was 4 at the time and found the shirt and I tried it on..she said I was beautiful so the shirt came home with me. Was the only orange shirt I had until this year! Instant coffee, with it so cold!? Why, why..that's un-american! Oh yea...;) Mostly tea drinkers then?
Wow what a fantastic coffee pot. You have a fab coffee pot, fab toothbrush. You are on top of things. lol Love the color orange on you, such a pretty top. I WANT those earrings! LOL. xo Sarah
My coffee grinder was not working, I called Cuisinart and they explained to me that I had to go beyond cleaning just the little compartment . I got a long metal skewer and poked it through the back of the compartment (toward the grinder). and had to break up the packed coffee until I could make the grinder rotate again! Phew!good to know that if you use a dark roast coffee bean, the build up of oil is likely. All worth it, because it makes EXCELLENT coffee!rhino@airnet.ca
I clean my grinder with rice (Uncooked) not sure if it would work with this. But you place a 1/4 cup of uncooked rice in the grinder, grind, and all the oils stick to the rice, empty out and wipe down. Do this once a week. I do it once a month or if i was to change the bean type.
Hi Sharie (Sherry?), Thank you so much for these videos! Do you know if this machine can make coffee with preground beans? I got it from a thrift store so it has no manual. I assume you can just put the grounds in the filter basket?
I don't know as I've never tried. But I don't see why not, the grinder will run but it will be empty and the water will go thru the basket just like normal..
Angus Smith. I'm not sure about that one. We get a few little pieces in the first cup poured but not much. Maybe try cleaning your basket holder spout really well. Or maybe buy a new one. You can order parts, as we dropped the coffee pot lid and it broke, got a new one.
I purchased mine used; its a similar model but doesn't have the automatic hopper. Can you tell me what size the scoop is so that I can make sure my amounts are right according to the instruction manual?
Hi Cheri! Awesome video... very informative. Would you know if it is possible to run water through the top grinder... and let it "flush" through the pot? Thank you! Keep up the great videos. Chris
The little lever that opens up and let’s the coffee fall into the basket during grinding ..... mine has stopped opening on occasion so I get hot water rather than coffee. Have you had this issue and if so, have you been able to repair it?
is it normal for beans to still be left over in container? say you put 8 cups of water and 8 scoops of beans, I am thinking all beans should be gone from container but they not. Coffee taste good but I'm thinking I got a bad one?
hi.....my grinder is spewing fresh coffee grounds all over the place ....we have to brush off the top of the carafe before pouring ....i have thoroughly cleaned ....any ideas ...thanks
I followed all the steps, when I push on/off button, to start, it beeps, does not grind. It will only start making coffee if I select grind off and add ground coffee to the basked (ground from separate grinder) Any ideas?
I am thinking about getting coffee maker. Do you still recommend? I have seen some bad reviews online concerning getting gunked up with coffee beans. not brewing properly.
Sam Smith, about once a week I soak it a little while in some water with a little white vinegar in it then use a small bottle brush to clean around the inside. Rinse well then stick into the dishwasher as usual. I hope this is the information you wanted. Have a great day and thanks for watching.
I keep cleaning it as I have before. But, now it seems as though it doesn't even try to grind anymore. It doesn't even make a noise as though the motor is turning or anything... What should I do now?
Oh your so funny! Yea, the beans are oily and it builds up pretty quickly and you have to brush it all out (not unlike teeth). I'm sorry you took it back, it makes the best coffee. I should have shown how to clean it when I did my first video, I just did not think about it at the time. So sorry!

I gave up the coffee addiction 3 weeks ago and I still watched your video. You are one of my favs!
The coffee was spewing out hot water for 3 days and was about to give up

Nice work lady... My brother tossed the manual of course and the bugger never cleaned it since new lol Its now shiny and now! Thanks!

Three years owner and I never knew of that chute. I almost made a $200 mistake thinking it was broken. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for posting this as my coffee maker is not grinding anymore but I never knew I had to clean it or how. Now I will go do this procedure on mine and hope it works.
life saver! Thank you. I bought mine on ebay so didn't have instructions with it and would never have found that little flip up bit. Awesome :-)
Thank you for showing what Cuisinart should! Appreciated it.
Thank you! This video was very helpful and as a result, my issue is resolved!
Thanks, I ordered one of these from Walmart and it's good to know how to clean out the grinds so it doesn't get clogged.
Thank you for making this video! It's perfect in its helpfulness!
You welcome, I'm glad your back to enjoying that good coffee it makes.
Thank you so much for this video it saved me from having to buy a different coffee maker!!! You Super Rock
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Nice video and great job explaining.

Thank you. This was very helpful
Thank you for this! Our chute was clogged and the Cuisinart manual is COMPLETELY useless. Happy to enjoying a pot of coffee this morning! :)
Thanks so much for this . The coffee grinder would not start, and man was that thing clogged. Almost threw it away!
I'm glad I helped. Have a wonderful day.
Nice job I just bought one today it does make realy nice coffee
I can't take credit for finding either.

I only have two vices left (I had MANY in my youth). Coffee and beer. By golly, I'm not giving up either if I can help it!!
But, congratulations to you on kicking the habit! hugs :)
I don't have glass shower doors anymore, but when I had them I'd use CLR. Spray them, let it sit for at least 15 mins, spray again and scrub with a non-abrasive sponge and rinse off. I'd have to clime into the tub to clean them and don't wear anything you don't want to mess up (yard work clothes).
To prevent it from building up so often buy one of those "squeegie" things (that is like a windshild wiper blade) and wipe the water off the door with it after every shower .
Hope this helps you :)
Your so welcome, I happy I could help you out :)
thank you! i still cant seem to get the craffe open to clean it, so far so good though!! thanks. revived a tossed out coffee pot at work. score. just gotta get the dang pot open.
Fixed my problem, should have read the instructions!
I understand how to use the brush to clean out the hopper! I have got to believe that from time to time one should get in the area where the brush is used and clean it out with a wet paper towel. I do this after each use and a considerable amount of gunk (coffee residue) comes out. I cannot imagine the brush being the only thing that is recommended for cleaning. If I did not use the wet paper towel I have got to believe that over the course of time it would get very filthy in the shoot area!!
Glenn Howard Very good feedback Glenn, thank you so much!
Thank you so very much!
Thanx so much...U saved my morning!
hmmm ... they do drink tea and good coffee (at cafes for the latter), but somehow think it "normal" to drink instant coffees at home (no doubt while putting on another jumper coz "... yeah, it is a wee cold today" ...) ... even after 10 years here, simply ... crazy!

You very welcome. I'm so happy I could help you.
Thanks for this! I had the exact same problem, and I found it quite difficult to reach the chute, even with the brush, since it's sort of down and back, and there's not a lot of room to maneuver. Any suggestions? I ended up taking a Q-tip, removing the head, and then gently twisting it into a curved shape so I could scrape more of the built up grinds, but I feel like there's a better way.
What a cool coffee maker ... NZ has tremendously good coffee at its cafes, but you can imagine as good ole american coffee drinkers how weird it was that at most homes (in my experience) drink basic instant coffee with the proverbial kiwi electric "kettle" that usually has a place on most kitchen counters.
and ... another gorgeous top, cheri (and the nails are gorgeous too!) ... have a great day! XO meredith
you fixed my grinder!!!!!!! After watching the "dead Video I almost lost hope.
Thank you - you just saved my morning! Coffee wouldn't brew; I followed your instructions and the coffee is brewing now.
Good job.
I have been using these procedures since I got my Cuisinart, great job in showing everyone. Recently, the bean hopper is stuck and I cannot remove it, have turned the know back and forth a number of times but no luck. Any suggestions?
Thank You!!! Up and running again.
Michael Burton wonderful
We have a Keurig now so I don't have to clean up the coffee mess anymore. Would love a video on cleaning a glass shower door, it's the worst to clean and need any hints on products to remove that white grime.

Thank you!
Thank you!!!
this is so cool thank u very much ♡♡♡♡♡ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Best excuse I've ever heard!
You saved me from throwing out a perfectly good coffee maker.
My coffee grinder was not working, I called Cuisinart and they explained to me that I had to go beyond cleaning just the little compartment . I got a long metal skewer and poked it through the back of the compartment (toward the grinder). and had to break up the packed coffee until I could make the grinder rotate again! Phew!good to know that if you use a dark roast coffee bean, the build up of oil is likely. All worth it, because it makes EXCELLENT coffee!rhino@airnet.ca

What a good idea! I'm going to give that a try.
Any idea how to clean the burr that grinds the beans? My pot stopped grinding the beans,do want to try cleaning the burr before I replace.
Hi Sharie (Sherry?), Thank you so much for these videos! Do you know if this machine can make coffee with preground beans? I got it from a thrift store so it has no manual. I assume you can just put the grounds in the filter basket?
Yes you can put pre-ground beans in the basket, and push the grind off button.
I don't know as I've never tried. But I don't see why not, the grinder will run but it will be empty and the water will go thru the basket just like normal..
Angus Smith. I'm not sure about that one. We get a few little pieces in the first cup poured but not much. Maybe try cleaning your basket holder spout really well. Or maybe buy a new one. You can order parts, as we dropped the coffee pot lid and it broke, got a new one.

Hi Cheri! Awesome video... very informative. Would you know if it is possible to run water through the top grinder... and let it "flush" through the pot? Thank you! Keep up the great videos. Chris
No, that would not be a good idea. Mechanical parts, water, rust...not a good mix. Just brush it out well every time you fill the hopper.
Okay thank you... I actually tried it flushing with water, and it seems okay... for now. I think the mechanical parts are stainless steel. :-)
The little lever that opens up and let’s the coffee fall into the basket during grinding ..... mine has stopped opening on occasion so I get hot water rather than coffee. Have you had this issue and if so, have you been able to repair it?
is it normal for beans to still be left over in container? say you put 8 cups of water and 8 scoops of beans, I am thinking all beans should be gone from container but they not. Coffee taste good but I'm thinking I got a bad one?
Opps. I'm glad I saved your some hard earned money.
hi.....my grinder is spewing fresh coffee grounds all over the place ....we have to brush off the top of the carafe before pouring ....i have thoroughly cleaned ....any ideas ...thanks
Angus Smith use a paper filter in addition to the permanent filter.
How do you clean a cycle with vinger?
I followed all the steps, when I push on/off button, to start, it beeps, does not grind. It will only start making coffee if I select grind off and add ground coffee to the basked (ground from separate grinder)
Any ideas?
I am thinking about getting coffee maker. Do you still recommend? I have seen some bad reviews online concerning getting gunked up with coffee beans. not brewing properly.
Yes, ours is still making excellent coffee. Well worth the money :)
Sam Smith, about once a week I soak it a little while in some water with a little white vinegar in it then use a small bottle brush to clean around the inside. Rinse well then stick into the dishwasher as usual. I hope this is the information you wanted. Have a great day and thanks for watching.
I keep cleaning it as I have before. But, now it seems as though it doesn't even try to grind anymore. It doesn't even make a noise as though the motor is turning or anything... What should I do now?
Well, sounds like it may be broken now. You could try to get it repaired or you may need to buy a new one.
Cheri my coffeemaker does all the steps then at the end it doesnt put thru the water. Have you ever had this happen?
Please give me the instruction sheet for the machine
Oh your so funny! Yea, the beans are oily and it builds up pretty quickly and you have to brush it all out (not unlike teeth). I'm sorry you took it back, it makes the best coffee. I should have shown how to clean it when I did my first video, I just did not think about it at the time. So sorry!
