I love the ability to grind fresh beans and brew great coffee, and this it does, and very well. There, though, are three persistent problems, two minor and one serious. It is not easy to clean the grinder and this needs to be done daily-it should be more accessible. The water level lines are nearly invisible and awkwardly positioned at the back so simply can’t see what water you have in. The serious problem is the durability of the drip components, so, despite buying vey expensive replacements, about every 5 years you simply have to throw one out and buy another.
