This coffee maker has been a really wonderful addition to our coffee counter; and a great addition to the family of other ninja products. We are a split coffee home, I am a admittedly a coffee snob. My parents live with us, and prefer a pre-ground coffee, think coffee shop coffee. This coffee maker has made coffee pleasing to both of us, which has never happened with a coffee maker. We've been able to consolidate and share one coffee maker for the first time in a very long time. Highly recommended for however you like your coffee.
