We do both beans and ground coffee in our house. My husband gets up first and has beans and then I am later in the morning with ground. I was concerned about cleaning the grinder before getting to enjoy my coffee but that has proven to be an easy step. I do keep an old toothbrush handy to assist. So far this coffee maker is working well for us.

This coffeemaker has automatic shut off which is a great feature for busy people. It can also be programmed regarding start time, as well as when it will shut off. The downside is that the grinder is very loud, and it is pretty messy to clean each time as the heat and condensation cause remaining grounds in the grinder to become wet and packed into it. For the most part, I grind my coffee myself and add it to the coffeemaker already ground. It makes a high-pitch beep when the coffee is done brewing and again when it is about to turn off that drives my dog into a panic. I wish there was a way to silence that. I need to check for a volume choice in settings. I have only had the pot for a month, so there may be more choices in the settings. Overall a good quality brewer that results in great coffee every time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice product, only one minor flaw. The grind feature has to be turned off or it makes a horrible sound that wakes up the whole house. It would be helpful if it had to be turned on to use instead. Its not a feature I've ever used yet so no need to be on all the time
