Kenmore Elite Grind & Brew

The Kenmore Elite Grind & Brew features a burr grinder designed for a consistent medium grind, which is ideal for standard drip coffee extraction. It does not offer adjustable grind settings for finer or coarser textures.

Yes, you can bypass the grinder function. Simply add your pre-ground coffee directly into the filter basket and start the brew cycle as usual.

The automatic shut-off function is a safety feature that engages after the brewing cycle is complete and the warming plate has been active for a set period, helping to conserve energy and provide peace of mind.

This model includes a durable glass carafe. It is designed to sit on the warming plate to keep your coffee at an optimal serving temperature.

While specific dimensions vary, this is a standard 12-cup drip coffee maker. Given the integrated grinder mechanism, it has a slightly larger footprint than a basic drip machine, so ensure you have enough clearance under your cabinets for the lid to open fully.

Like most integrated burr grinders, you will hear the motor running while the beans are being processed. It is a brief, audible process that lasts only as long as it takes to grind the beans for your selected cup count.
