This was a replacement for a much older grind and brew that would no longer grind. New doesn’t always mean better. This machine is so much of a down grade from the leaky carafe to the grinder not making small grind ( large grind and bitter) also not grinding enough coffee bean to match the strength setting. As an example I have to pre grind a4 cup stop the machine from brewing and then grind a 12 cup on the strong strength setting. sucks that I can’t get a cup of coffee the strength I want from this over priced thing
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
