My mom and I are major coffee lovers so this is SO much fun to use! We had only ever used k-cup machines or machines that used coffee grounds in a filter, so to have a machine that uses actual coffee beans is so fun! It's super simple to use and I love that you can either use the beans, or you can use K-cups as well. Honestly, my favorite part of the whole thing is getting to go down the coffee aisle in the supermarket and scoop coffee beans, lol. This product is fabulous and makes my morning routine complete.
