This coffeemaker is a new and improved version of one I currently own.  The grinding container is now removable for easy cleaning. The basket top now is connected to the basket which is a big improvement.  It will automatically seat itself correctly, which previously I had an issue with grinds overflowing out of the top.  I like the fact that this model has a clean feature, which tells you when its needed. But all the great features like auto brew, 1-4 cups instead of full 12 cup pot, grind off if using ground coffee, and carafe plate warmer are still there. The only issue is that the bean storage capacity is on the low side.  It could be larger.
