Web ID: 17771627Brand new and still evaluating
Beautiful presentation and it seems to be working well so far. Experiencing learning curve to get the settings using different beans, suited to my taste. I haven’t gotten it right, yet. I haven’t experienced difficulty cleaning or leaking which are widely experienced by many according to the reviews I’ve read, but waiting to see how it works over time

Almost great
I love this...but the reservoir leaks. It's not how I'm seating it in the base...it drips slowly even when I am filling it. If I leave water in the reservoir after brewing, it slowly leaks out...over the LCD screen, which apart film being annoying to clean up, can't be good for the electronics. I want to persevere because otherwise it's great. But....sigh

Wow!
I just wish I bought this 30 years ago instead of just a few days ago. 👍

Great features
Makes great coffee. I had been using Keruigs for years and had brewed coffee in a while. This is easy and convenient.

Minor irritant
I utilize 1:15 ratio of water to beans. The machine always asks me to add water. A minor irritation but I do not know how to accept my judgement.

Good machine, not the absolute best, but good!
Would prefer a larger bean storage hopper. Would also like to be able to adjust the amount of beans that are ground for a pot of coffee, this option is not available and I feel like it grinds more than as needed. Otherwise, the coffee taste great in the machine looks nice on the countertop and it’s easy to use

Great coffee!
My wife and I bought this to replace our DeLonghi after it stopped working. We wanted a coffee machine that would grind or use pre-ground coffee. We also wanted the ability to make different size cups. This does it all, and it makes a great cup of coffee. Looks great on the counter too. Glad we bought it.

Solid
This machine makes a good cup of coffee, which is most important at the end of the day. And it's GORGEOUS on the countertop (albeit large). I also did not experience the leaking issue that others have experienced (I was careful not to over-tighten after inserting the filter and only add water from the top). I take 2 points off for: (1) the grounds get all over the place--under the basket, on the warming unit, on the countertop--after just one brew cycle, and it's annoying to clean; (2) for the price, I'd expect the coffee to stay hot longer and would expect some more brew functions.

We're glad to hear you're pleased with your new coffee maker. After opening the brew basket, it is recommend to put a kitchen towel on the carafe sitting area to catch the coffee grounds from chute. Your comments regarding the unit are extremely important to us and will be considered by our product design team for review.
