This is our first embedded grinder coffee maker and that feature is a definite luxury. There are little human factor elements that knocked a star off- namely it’s super loud. If I’m on a virtual meeting and the post-brew ground cycle runs, I joke that my coffee machine is about to launch. It takes about three cycles of grinding through drip to make a pot. The touch buttons cycle through options where a touch selection would be nicer. Overall we’re super impressed with the quality of the coffee brewed and convenience.
