Seriously, I do love this coffee maker very much.  However, I do not like the fact that the grinding/brew basket is quite difficult to clean.  I’m used to dumping the grinds, along with the filter, right in my compost bucket.  To empty this basket isn’t the same at all!  It is hard to empty all of the grounds.  In fact, they do not all come out, despite how hard I shake it.  Further, to have to clean so many parts on a daily basis is laborious.

Nevertheless, the aroma and taste of the coffee with the freshly ground beans is amazing.  There is definitely a noticeable difference.  Now if I could find somewhere to purchase a second set of parts, I’d be thrilled!
