Makes a great cup of coffee, built in grinder is great, just fill, set time and presto its done. If you like starbucks or other high priced coffee try grinding your own beans.Ya'll buy a built in ginder again. The unit works great,best coffee flavor, only draw back is you must clean the grinder each day, several parts to wash but it only takes minutes, I like the filter' just wash and reuse.

I was extreemly dissapointed in this coffee maker. I had been grinding my own beans every morning and using a Mr Coffee maker. I treated myself to this coffee pot and should have stuck with my old methods. The coffee is good, however no better than it was with my old pot.

Here's the thing, the steam from the coffee goes up into the grinding station meaning that it has to be, not only rinsed, but cleaned after each use. As well as other components. And if you are a household that will make more than one pot of coffee in a row, FORGET IT! There is nothing more frustrating that having to completely clean out the coffee maker for a cup of coffee. So if you want fresh ground coffee in the morning, use a separate grinder.

i have to say that my experience was just awful- apparently the one i received was defected and the hot water got jammed in the brewing area. one good thing is when i contacted the company they really made it up to me, took it back and gave me a full refund. a friend purchased the same thing and she likes it. she also doesn't mind cleaning up after the first brew (collects moisture in the grinder area).

I was looking for this model coffeemaker. Amazon said it didnt have it in stock and that I should check with this "recommended" retailer. Well I bought the coffeemaker from Irawoods.com. It took over 2 weeks to get to me. When I finally tried it out, no more than a few days after I got it, the coffeemaker was broken. I called the company and they told me to go through manufacturer. I didnt have the machine for longer than a few days and it was broken. They have the worst customer service ever! Do Not Buy from this website. EVER. Read the reviews and see how many people complained of missing parts and broken items.

Great coffee maker, grinds beans and brews great coffee, all on a schedule if desired.
