This De'Longhi TrueBrew Coofee Maker is excellent. I needed an upgrade when my regular pot started acting up on me so I chose this device and I am so glad that I did. It does everything! It grinds it's own beans, has adjustable brew sizes, can be set for auto brew at any time, and even came with it's own carafe. It took two seconds to set up. The water is stored on a releasable side container. This make water refill easy and non messy. The beans are deposited on the top for easy refill as well. I do wish the directions were a little more clear on how to set the clock up. It took a while to figure out that part out but I would definitely recommend this and buy it over and over again. You can chose the brew strength too. So from light to stout, it does it all. It even has an ice setting for freshed iced coffee.
