I like the option of having fresh grinded coffee and using already ground coffee. The espresso and ice coffee options are nice also.  The machine is rather large. One flare I have noticed is the ground container light will come on and will not allow you to use the bean option. After putting more ground coffee in the basket didn't work, I pulled out the front tray ensemble out shoke the infuser and closed the it and the light went away. But this has happened several times. A coffee lover would like this because it's an all in one machine.
