I love coffee and there is definitely a flavor difference between buying pre-ground coffee and whole bean coffee that you grind yourself. I really like this coffee maker and especially the fact that it does grind coffee. My only complaint is that even at the weakest setting, the coffee (for me) is way to strong. I'm used to 3 large scoops/4 small scoops of ground coffee for a 12 cup coffee maker. I need to test how many scoops the coffee maker grinds for its lowest strength. So in the future I would suggest maybe one lower setting for strength.

Had for 3 weeks and it still works. Bought the one that holds 1/2 beans so don't have to put beans in daily. The carafe keeps the coffee hot. Had problems with the Brew and Grind that beans are added daily.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It does not keep the coffee that hot. It will not make less than four cups. You push a button and turn it for the amount of cups. One day I thought it was on 4 and it turned out it was on 10. I guess it is a sensitive button so now I check and recheck. It's a pain. The coffee pot is difficult to clean and will not fit in my dishwasher and the lid is so tight when you put it on, it makes it difficult to take it off. I would not buy this again and would return it if I could.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
