just wanted to let you all know, my husband bought me this "way too expensive" grind & brew coffee pot for Christmas last year. At first I wanted to return it, for a more practical- less expensive one, but beings he got a 5lb bag of KENYA coffee beans, we started using it. boy, am I glad we decided to use it. I now would not want any other. you put the beans in, hit the button(or preset the night before) & it grinds & brews a perfect pot of coffee!
It makes the house smell like a coffee shop & beings we love coffee, this has just been a great kitchen appliance to have, regardless...
