Great coffee if you don't mind LOUD
We have had this coffee maker for a few months. It takes more than average time to prep, but it also keeps it clean and pretty residue-free which can be a con of other coffee makers with quicker prep times. It is so nice putting whole coffee beans in the night before knowing you will wake up to fresh coffee. And you WILL wake up. It is LOUD! The loud is all of the grinding, though. Drinking fresh coffee, priceless. Brew Performance Coffee brews very fresh and I have never had grounds in my coffee. Ease of Cleaning I gave this the lowest rating simply because you have to clean the non paper filter along with cleaning the actual container that houses and grinds the beans. This is all in addition to cleaning out the pot. It is a few extra steps than normal but we have found that it stays really clean since you are constantly having to clean it out. Also, when we ground our beans separately we had some coffee bean residue on the counter and we don't ever have that anymore. Ease of Use A few extra steps with the whole beans but worth it.
