[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We make 6+ cups per day on average, so well over 250 cups in the 2 months we've owned. Overall, it works very well, but there are few places where I think it could be better. 1) It's LOUD as in, walk in the other room while it grinds the beans loud. 2) Water tank could be larger, or ideally an option to connect to a water line or a larger tank sold as an accessory. 3) The bean section on top is too small and poorly designed. Every day I have to take off the lid and push the beans towards the opening. Sure, it only takes 30 seconds, but this should not be necessary - and it should hold a bit more. I'm guessing these design choices have been made to fit a specific size requirement, but if they offered a larger unit that addressed the above, I think it would make for a better, long term device. Overall, a great product - but could be better.
No matter what coffee beans I use it has this plasticy bitter taste I played around with all the settings but I still taste plastic
Sadly I can't return it and I don't know what else to do.
Another frustrating part is I have to press multiple times on the buttons for it to recognize my input .. hard to press Very disappointed and I am using my other old machine
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
