This is a lazy coffee lover’s dream! I typically get up very early for work and set my coffee pot up the night before so that a cup of coffee is ready when I wake up. Although much more convenient, I have never really cared for the coffee that comes in pods because I prefer fresh ground coffee and the area I’m from has many small local coffee roasters that produce a lot of great whole bean coffee. This machine ended up being the best of both worlds. It takes less than three minutes to have a fresh ground cup of coffee and all I have to do is push a button. The machine stores the coffee beans on top then grinds them when you choose the type and size of coffee you would like. Also it does not require filters and the leftover grounds can easily be composted.
