I am in LOVE with my new DeLonghi Truebrew coffee maker. Very simple to get up and running, very easy to clean and maintain. While it takes up a decent amount of counterpart, nothing beats having freshly ground coffee. I love how simple the machine is to use and the fact that there are no coffee filters or pods. Ground waste can just get dumped straight into compost. There is the option to add pre-ground coffee, but who on earth would use it? It's been fun trying different coffees and it's much cheaper to buy the beans than the pre ground stuff. I think the only con is that for its hefty size you'd be able to brew a pot but this is not the case. However there are multiple size options for single cups. My experience using this coffee machine is nothing short of amazing. I have since parted ways with my previous machine. If you're someone who loves the idea of freshly ground coffee and reducing waste, you will ADORE this coffee machine!
