I have had this unit for a while now. I am very happy with the grinder, I recommend holding the filter cup up against the housing, it helps preventing grounds from spilling out. Believe me this is not a problem. This makes a Great 8oz cup of coffee. I have purchased several different brands of whole bean and prefer medium roast. The 10oz seems a little weak. The water tank is easy to fill and the unit is easy to clean. The quality is very good what I expected from Cuisinart. I definitely recommend this product. I am a 70 year old PawPaw and I find it very easy to use. Get yourself one and enjoy a good cup of coffee.
