This coffee maker is amazing! It has the ability to grind, measure, brew, and discard grounds with the push of a button. The grounds bun is large enough that I only have to empty it every 6-8 cups. Another thing I love is that there is zero steam coming out of the unit so I can push it under the cabinet without worry. The only negative I can come up with would be how loud it is when it grinds at 4:30am when my husband is getting ready for work, but I’ve never seen a quiet coffee grinder so not sure there is any opportunity for improvement there.
