I don't think I will ever need another coffee maker in my life! This De'Longhi coffee maker grounds beans and also supports ground coffee. It was easy to put together and use. The instruction manual was easy to understand and the end result was an amazing cup of delicious coffee. Coffee for me is the most important time of the day so being able to set auto brew and have everything ready when I wake is fantastic. It has 5 setting several size options for whether you just want 1 cup or a whole pot. It doesn't take much time to brew and with it eliminating the need for filters or plastic pods it is less time consuming. I would say this is the perfect machine for the coffee lovers out there that want a flavorful cup of coffee.
