All I can really say about this machine is wow!!!  I have been buying whole bean coffee for quite some time but having to grind it myself.  I was immediately drawn to the fresh grind upon every cup that this machine offers - simplifying my morning was a no brainer!  I love all of the different modes and features this machine offers and honestly it brews better tasting coffee than my local craft coffee house!  I am obsessed with this coffee pot and can't wait to brew a cup for my family and friends when they come over.  This product sells itself and I know they have all asked where they can get it!  It is so easy to use and clean up is a breeze!
