These coffee makers just keep getting better and better. This was super simple to set up. I love that it has the burr grinder because fresh beans make the best coffee. I love to make lattes. This coffee maker makes that possible with the expresso option. It does it all. It grinds, measures, and brews the most wonderful tasting coffee ever. Yum. I love the carafe because I can keep my coffee warm for hours. I take the carafe into my home office since it keeps my coffee hot. I work two jobs so the Auto set is fantastic. I set it to come on at 4:30 am and when I get to the kitchen my coffee is brewed and ready. Clean up is easy as emptying  and rinsing two small trays. This is a super high quality machine that makes my coffee taste yummy. Once you use this machine you will never buy a different brand. I totally recommend it.
