This machine produces the freshest, cleanest coffee that I've had outside of using my own grinder. The built-in, on-demand grinder gets the perfect cup every time. In fact, when the coffee comes out, its usually right on the perfect temperature to drink. The device has superb control over the brew temperature and bean grind for excellent and consistent cups. That said, don't forget that grinding coffee can be noisy work! The stainless steel colored panels just happens to match our kitchen decor perfectly. 10/10
