Cuisinart Single Serve Coffee Maker + Coffee Grinder

As other reviewers have reported, the machine spews grounds all over. I contacted Cuisinart. Their customer service rep told me that the company is aware of the problem, but he did not know if or when a solution would be offered. Since I thought that some reduction in wasted coffee grounds might be achieved by having a second filter basket and holder and immediately inserting it under the grinder after the full one is removed, I asked if Cuisinart would send me a set at no cost. The rep said no. I said that since doing so might be beyond his authority level (the retail price is about $12, probably costs them a few cents for the product and a few dollars for postage), please ask someone who could make the decision. After some time on hold, the answer was still no. I'm returning mine. There might be a relatively easy fix, such as placing a small cup under the grinder to catch stray grinds, or a large tray under the whole machine, but I bought this to make my life easier, not harder. And I don't want to waste coffee. Already an expensive commodity, it's only likely to increase in cost as tariffs kick in, since virtually all coffee is grown outside the United States. I've been happy with other Cuisinart products, and other than the grounds leakage, it seems well made, but unless and until they fix the problem, I'll stick with my separate grinder and brewer, or find another combo machine from a different maker.
