This coffee maker far exceeds my expectations. It’s designed well and includes a multitude of great features, such as being able to use ground or whole beans, make hot or cold beverages, or make six different beverage sizes. My favorite feature are the alerts that inform me of what needs attention, such as the water tank or bean hopper. The coffee maker is sleek and stylish appearance wise and helps modernize my kitchen. I now make drinks that I previously only ordered out. Monthly cleanup of the infuser is required, but it’s easy and  to be expected for a machine of this caliber. This is a coffee drinker’s dream machine and I highly recommend it.
