Easy to setup for grind and brew. Grinds then brews, all in one step. Makes a good cup of coffee using beans. Would have given 5 stars but the coffee pod part of system could use improvement. The water reservoir for coffee pods does not have a window to let one see how much water remains. Also, when using the coffee pod option, it does not allow one to select BOLD brewing.
Great for coffee lovers who go both carafe and pod

Works well, attractive, and appears very rugged. Like to have: clearer marking on the pod side where the fill line is. I have run water onto the counter 3-4 times. Hard to see the line inside, everything is black. Maybe paint the line ledge white or silver. On the carafe side, it would be nice if somehow you could prevent operation if the filter was forgotten and left out.
I love this machine! It's so nice to have the grinder on the same instrument as the coffee maker! It just makes sense. Freshly ground coffee tastes so much better (even my husband noticed) and I only have one machine to clean up, which is super easy. I really like that the single serving pods are also on the the one machine... in case i don't want to drink an entire pot... today.
This grind and brew is a horrible design and I just found my receipt to return. The moisture in the grinder makes it unusable. The review of 4+ is very misleading as it is a big mess and I would not recommend this product.
Like it a lot. I use it daily. Two suggestions for improvement. Add brew strength option to pod side. After brewing with ground beans, grinder is a mess.
