This coffee machine is seriously a dream. My husband and I are drink coffee very often. We have some At least 2-3 times a day. I’ve been using this machine for a few weeks now and it’s absolutely amazing. The ease of use is my favorite thing! The beans are housed at the top and there is no measuring necessary. You just fill the water and beans and choose which the settings you want and the machine does everything for you! It makes the perfect freshly ground cup of coffee. My favorite is iced coffee and even the iced coffee is amazing. After the coffee is brewed, the grounds are discarded into a a little cup and once it’s full you just have to empty it out. After every use the machine also self cleans itself. When I say this machine is a dream, I mean it! It is seriously so amazing.
