This is the 4th grind and brew I have purchased.  The motor seems to be the first thing to go.  The first one we purchased lasted the longest.  Each one purchased after has had a shorter life.  What I do not like about this last one we just purchased is the after grinding the beans there are grounds all over the hot plate.  Plus the carafe cover does not fit on very well.  Unfortunately, I am disappointed in this coffee machine.
