This makes excellent, fresh coffee. It's easy to use and convenient. 

My biggest concern moving away from a coffee pod system was that this would be cumbersome, requiring more work to get from coffee maker to caffeinated state. But it takes only slightly more time and no more effort - adding beans and water when needed, press a couple of buttons and go, and the coffee is of a higher quality given it's grinding the beans on the spot, as well as better environmentally without all that pod waste. Also it is one cup at a time, which I prefer over making a pot of coffee and inevitably wasting some of it. 

I did have some initial issues priming it (water was supposed to come out in the process and didn't), but that was a brief issue and now it works flawlessly for both hot and iced coffee.

It's also an attractive unit and doesn't take up too much counter space.
