For years I have been using a French Press for my coffee until I got this one for my birthday. I have been wasting my time for too long! This coffee maker makes my mornings so much easier with a simple touch of a button to make my morning brew. Big chamber to hold the beans and it knows exactly how much to grind for the size cup. My normal is a 22 oz and although it takes two cycles, it fills it to exactly where I like it. Warning lights tell me it's time to add water, beans or remove the grounds which is also super easy. Best new device on my kitchen counter!
