Make the perfect cup for one with the Grind & Brew Single-Serve Brewer by Cuisinart.

With three ways to brew and three size options, crafting the perfect cup is easy, fast, and extra enjoyable!

I've had several Cuisinart Grind 'n Brew coffee makers and really don't have anything bad to say about any of them. All of them were durable, had plenty of features and were relatively affordable compared to similar products. This one will make approximately 3 cups of coffee before the water tank and bean hopper needs to be refilled. My only two issues with it are that it does take a deliberate press of the buttons to get them to work - it typically won't respond to a quick press of any button. The other issue is that the 10 and 12 ounce coffee settings generate a rather weak, watery cup of coffee. So if you like robust flavor from your coffee don't bother with the 10 or 12 ounce settings. Otherwise, a fantastic coffee maker.

This has been an outstanding product for the past few years that I've owned it. I had a lot of Wi-Fi quality issues with the modem from my internet service provider but no more. The capability of extending the Wi-Fi hotspots to enabled Alexa devices is fantastic. Yes, I'd buy this product again.

Feel every word, every moment, every emotion, elevated. The new VIZIO Elevate 5.1.4 Home Theater Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X plus 18 total speakers with separate tweeters and dual woofers to breathe thrilling life into the latest movies, sports, gaming, and more. Revolutionary auto-rotating Adaptive Height Speakers blast sound off the ceiling, delivering completely immersive overhead surround sound. When rotated forward, these speakers provide a wider soundstage and clearer vocals to standard surround and stereo modes, particularly great for music. Voice Assistant Input lets you use the voice-enabled device you’re already accustomed to (sold separately) right through the sound bar, in addition to convenient Chromecast built-in and Bluetooth streaming. Three HDMI ports connect two 4K devices to the TV with eARC making setup clean and simple.

I bought it for the multiple HDMI ports that supported Dolby Atmos since most sound bars I found only had one. My TV is not Dolby Atmos capable but my streaming box is, so I wanted the Atmos sound. This sound bar is not very good. It is sometimes glitchy when powering up, replacing the video with very bad quality or video static. Sometimes the audio takes voices out of playing video and sometimes there's no audio at all when watching Atmos-enabled videos. Unplugging the sound bar from the wall for 30 seconds fixes it for a while but is a frustrating experience. And well, the phone app isn't very good since it rarely connects to the soundbar. When it is working it sounds great, which is most of the time. All in all I wouldn't buy it again.

After replacing all the flooring in the house we recognized the need for new cleaning equipment. This cleaner is well suited for the task and is easy to clean-up. We like that is dual mode for both wet and dry floor cleaning and that it will clean area rugs.

I bought this to replace a Series 2 that I had for a couple years - what an upgrade! The size of the watch was smaller but the useable display area was larger than the Series 2. Performance and battery life were significantly improved as well. I definitely find this watch far more useful than the Series 2 it replaced.

I’ve had this phone for over 18 months and I have to say it’s the best phone I have owned. The battery life is still very good, the speed is still exceptional and the usability is top notch. My only issue is the lack of portrait mode for the home and lock screens, apparently due to FaceID. I use the phone display while riding my motorcycle but the mounting bracket is landscape only. Not that big a deal but it’s a nuisance.

Sometimes I see my lights aren't responding to motion, so I check the app only to find that the motion detection feature has been turned off or the settings have changed. I'm the only person with the app and access to the account so this appears to be a hardware/software issue. Otherwise the sensor itself appears to be well constructed and works adequately.

Now that I'm enjoying cooking I thought this would be a handy device for finding/displaying recipes and playing music or movies while I'm preparing meals. It does pretty well at this however there are a couple quirks - one namely being when I have a recipe or web page open after a period of time it reverts to the home page on its own but there doesn't appear to be a way to go back to what I was viewing. I haven't found a setting to stop that yet but I would think there is one. Sound, display quality and controls are excellent.

Does one need to buy a sealer for the bags? Are the bags bpe free?
No, a vacuum sealer is not needed for the bags. An alternative is what is commonly referred to as the immersion method where you submerge nearly the entire bag with exception of the open end to force the air out of the bag. All the bags I have seen for sous vide / vacuum sealing are BPA free but it's best to check the details before buying them. Additionally, some companies make silicone bags that are washable and reusable.
