The Scoop, cough maker, precisely what I prefer to use. Without it, coffee seems to be a waste to brew. Excess grounds and plastic are not a problem with this product. The only thing missing would be a third smaller, setting than 8 ounces and a secondary removable scoop. In my opinion, it’s still five stars.
I love this product. The only reason I gave only 4 stars is because this is the second one I bought. The first one stopped working after a year and a half
