This is by far the best coffee maker I’ve ever used/seen. I am obsessed with the built in bean grinder, because it makes the freshest cup/pot of coffee you’ve ever had. I love that I can pre-set the machine to just have my typical morning cup ready to go when I get up, or I can brew an entire pot for company. I am so thrilled that this makes using fresh ground beans so convenient that I only buy whole coffee beans now (which taste superior to any other form)! No messy filter or grounds to clean each use (which still blows my mind after a month of using it). If you are someone who truly loves coffee, but not all the hassle of having to grind the beans anytime you want a cup, you NEED this machine!
