I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS COFFEE MAKER.  I will admit, I was a little intimidated by it at first, but once I figured everything out, I threw away my old coffee maker.   I love that it grinds the coffee beans fresh, for each cup made.   It also can use pre-ground coffee.   It has options for brew strength, options from  a 3 oz espresso through a 20 oz travel size; hot or iced option as well.   It really is fantastic!
