I an obsessed with this coffee maker. You literally can not get fresher coffee than this and super fast! My entire home smells amazing the second it starts grinding. It's not loud considering what it's doing at all. I use it at one end of my home without waking sleeping family in the other. It brews quickly and cleans up so easily. I can't believe I've been buying preground coffee all these years. If I could change anything I'd give it a two cup option for those days when it's only me.
