This coffee maker checks off all the boxes you could possibly want in a coffee machine. You can use ground coffee or if you prefer coffee beans it grinds it for you. Another amazing feature is it lets you select the strength of coffee as well as the serving size. These options are hands down the reason I love this coffee maker as well as the how easy it is to use with just the touch of a button. If you are looking for a sign well HERE it is.. I highly recommend this coffee maker and there are no cons in making this purchase.
