I really love this coffeemaker.  It has an automatic grinder, so I can pour in as many beans as I want and the machine grinds the right amount for the coffee I’m making.  The grinder is very quiet, and the brewing noises are quiet as well.  It does have a feature to set it up to brew on a timer, which makes getting up on early mornings a little easier.  I’ve had no leakage while brewing, and the carafe is easy to pour from as well.  It’s easy to clean out; the ground tray comes out for easy dumping and cleaning, and the carafe is easy to wash.  I’ve always preferred coffee from grounds, but had a hard time determining the right quantity of beans I needed.  This makes that super easy.  It is a larger unit and does take up more space than a traditional coffee pot, but the convenience and quality is worth it.
