This is a powerhouse of a coffee maker with lots of flexibility for the type of coffee you’d like to brew. I appreciate being able to switch from whole bean to ground, from a single cup to a carafe and hot or iced. So far, every cup I’ve brewed has been delicious.

The built in grinder is super convenient but really noisy. Understandable when it’s preparing to brew, but it also makes noises at random after the brewing is complete. If you need your coffee maker to brew quietly in the mornings, this isn’t for you (or stick to grounds). 

Setup seemed a little complicated and it took a few tries for the machine to recognize the water basin was full. I had to take it off and place it back on a few times before the troubleshooting light went off. Definitely read the directions before you begin.
