This machine is so versatile. I love the option to use pre-ground coffee or grind whole beans. Also the K-cup simplifies everything into one machine. The only 2 small negatives are that when you grind whole beans, you really can only make about 8 cups of coffee (at least that's what we've discovered based on the fact that we like are coffee stronger). I use 8 mounded scoops of beans - which is about all the grinder can hold. But for just the two of us, that's not a problem really. The other really small negative is that you must take out the grinder part even if you use pre-ground coffee because it gets wet inside the grinder as the coffee is brewing. Leaving the water trapped in there is just an invitation for mold growth. But, these are very small negatives that are what they are. Otherwise the machine is GREAT! And it makes good HOT coffee!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Be aware: my machine on the k cup side serves approximately 3 ounces more than you choose. If you choose 8 ounces, you’ll get 10! 10 you get 12, 12, almost 15

Certain K pods split in half instead of just piercing the center and it causes the grounds to go everywhere and will sometimes flood the single cup area.

This coffee maker is the ultimate 3 in 1 combo. The grinder is a little loud toward the end, but what grinder isn't. Easy cleanup, the only drawback for me is that I wish the water reservoir for the K-cup would be bigger. That's the only reason it's not a 5-star rating. Other than that, it saves so much space on the countertop in the kitchen.
