At least 15 years ago, we received this coffee maker as a gift. We liked it so much, we just purchased it again (updated version). The old one was still working, but looking its age. I like the new “clean” feature that our old one lacked. It’s hard to find a coffee maker that grinds the beans and comes with a thermal carafe. Coffee tastes great!
The coffee is fine. But the daily setup/teardown is awful. Multiple parts have to be clean and dry for Things to work as they ahould
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love the brew and grind and option to use pre ground coffee. Quick to brew a pot of hot coffee. Hot coffee is a must for me. I really like the metal carafe. I have broken more than one glass carafe. No more broken glass for me. Great price. Works great. Very satisfied.
Machine grinding is noisy. In addition, I have noticed that cleaning is requires daily. I would prefer a larger bean grinding capacity to eliminate adding bean for each individual grind and brew cup. I suspect that the high grinding blade RPM contributes to the inadequate cleaning.
