I was looking to replace a grind and brew coffeemaker that was leaking so I purchased this model.  After some initial adjustments to getting the strength just right, this coffeemaker is great!  My husband makes the coffee at night and it automatically brews at 5:20 every morning.  He likes the fact that he doesn’t have to measure the coffee anymore, he just has to fill the hopper occasionally.  The only downside is that it seems to use more coffee than our old unit but that’s a small price to pay for hot, fresh coffee every morning!
