Love this machine, BUT: I am now on my 4th one in 4 weeks. Machine is great, but apparently, it needs some i.t. Help with design flaws. The warmer plate shuts off immediately after brew cycle…can be programmed for 4 hour shut off. Got my 4th one today and will find out tomorrow if it is damaged like all the rest. Makes a great cup of coffee though

Sadly, after about 10 years, our burr and grind coffee maker started having problems. We were quite bummed that our model was no longer being made, and the price had appreciated significantly. Well, we bit the bullet and ended up upgrading with the new model. The grinding is slightly less loud, but the entire grinding/brewing array is much easier to use and clean. The quality of the coffee continues to be excellent. Our one ‘regret’ is that the new model doesn’t come with a 12-cup stainless carafe. We truly enjoyed that feature, even if pouring from it was a pain.

I absolutely love the convenience of grinding and brewing in the same appliance, and being able to select the cup size of the brew. The only reason for 4 stars is for the fact that you cannot fill the reservoir for multiple brews. You can only fill it with the amount you intend to brew at that instance. Each morning, you have to add water.
I would recommend this to a friend!

You cannot control the temperature of the coffee after it is brewed and it is much hotter than expected. In addition, the grounds of the coffee do not fully make it into the grounds holder and spill onto the heating pan. Overall it is okay but not worth the cost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Can’t make anything smaller than 8 cups which I make using the 4 cup setting and least strength. Going through beans much faster than my old grind and brew model. Not happy with this one at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Grind control – program for 4 to 12 cups
