I got this a few weeks ago n its a game changer. Cuisinart is a very trusted brand. With this coffee maker it grinds your own beans. So you get fresh coffee. The burr grinder grinds the beans effortlessly and the smell of fresh ground coffee is amazing. It also has a timer so if you need that cup of coffee in the am fill it n set timer night before and you'll wake up to the smell of hot fresh coffee. Its 12 cup capacity so you can do 1 or 12. Now I can save money by making it at home.
