    • Makes great coffee
    • He likes coffee
    • I was ready to invest in an $800 coffee maker and kept finding reviews saying what "weak" and "inconsistent" coffee those made
    • The ground coffee shoots forward into the top section of the plastic container, which seems to produce more ground coffee clinging by static electricity to a part of the lid and container.
    • The coffee wasn't as intense as I'd like, but that could have been the coffee I purchased.
    • That was an awesome idea for a trucker who likes fresh ground coffee
    • Worst coffee grinder I have ever owned!
    • The coffee is decent, but all said, I am going to back to Nespresso at work.
    • Used this to grind fresh coffee
    • Plus, as fresh coffee can get a little tacky, it sticks to the side of the grinder and getting it from the holder to the french press can be messy.
    • So after two grinds you get a coffee clog in the chute and your coffee comes out weak because it’s all clogged in the grinder area
    • Easy to dial in a perfect grind for rich, fresh coffee every time
    • We enjoyed our morning coffee
    • Also, it only keeps coffee hot for maximum 10 minutes, then the plate turns off.
    • This product really changes the way coffee is ground, and the results are noticeably different and better than traditionally ground coffee.
    • I also balked at having to first buy a grinder, and then a coffee maker -- or always settling, again, for the sub-par, pre-ground coffee
    • I bought my wife a bag of expensive coffee beans and needed a way to grind them
    • I wanted an easy coffee maker that brewed a strong cup of coffee
    • It can accomodate beans or already ground coffee, and makes a quick pot of coffee (no doubt helped by the fact that the pot is so small).
    • I sometimes get busy and the coffee has cooled down to slightly warm temp by the time I get to poor a cup to enjoy.
    • This is a nice looking coffee maker and it is a space saver.
    • However, and this is pretty bad,towards the end of the grind it creates a large lump of ultra fine ground coffee that then falls into the bin with the coarsely ground coffee
    • It's an inexpensive coffee maker that grinds beans and then brews them
    • " but it still produces enough ground coffee for "8
    • If you enjoy weak coffee, you will like this product.
    • But I was not going to buy an expensive espresso machine, which can be very high maintenance and generally makes excessively strong coffee.
    • If you're serious about brewing excellent coffee at home, a burr grinder is a must-have
    • Oddly, the grinder is good but the coffee terribly weak - and am using high end rich beans
    • The burr grinder crushes the roasted beans rather than slicing them, which allows for more uniform extraction of the oils and a noticeably richer coffee.
    • The KRUPS coffee grinder does a decent job of grinding coffee
    • like was how messy it was to transfer the freshly ground coffee from the container to the coffee maker.
    • But it has one unforgiveable flaw for the French press user, and that is, it produces about a tablespoon of very fine powdery ground coffee with each use, even when set on the most coarse setting.
    • This is the best small coffee maker I have ever had
    • Pros:1)Great coffee, rivaling a French press
    • The K-cups aren't cheap to buy and the really good coffees are never available in a K-cup (for good reason).

    • I drink strong dark coffee only, but it just doesn't come that way with this unit.
    • I bought this to replace it as a gift, but it was rebuffed because it shares with the old one an annoying habit of developing static electricity in the plastic receptacle for the ground coffee

    • I like that it can make various types of grinds and that you can fine tune to your likes/coffee maker and the number of cups you want
    • This is why this grinder can do an espresso setting, that requires very finely grinder coffee, as well as auto-drip coffee that is a medium grind
    • After each grind and brew, I did use the supplied brush to clean the grinder area and the shoot where the freshly ground coffee is directed into the filter basket.
    • Overall this is a great coffee grinder.
    • I do wish that you can make the grounds more course, but the coffee is good enough to warrant a good review.
    • We literally have to pour every batch of ground coffee into a mesh strainer and tap it over a bowl for minutes to knock out all of the fine silt.
    • Before this product, I was using a hand grinder and it took a half an hour to grind enough coffee to make one brew
    • Spend the extra $20 and get something that allows for good coffee experience

    • Overall, this was a decent coffee maker
    • I prefer to grind the coffee for freshness, but you can use reground coffee.

    • Don’t waste your money on this crappy coffee maker!
    • that is; I'd say this would fit in very well in an "IKEA" home).This machine can put out really strong coffee!

    • My coffee comes out much more like what I get from coffee shops now
    • Love love this machine perfect coffee, fresh ground each day!!
    • If only using ground coffee this works ok.
    • Without grinder, coffee would not brew and would leak.
    • What they indicate for "pour over" is too fine and ends up with muddy tasting coffee
    • Cleaning is a hassle as there are too many nooks and crannies in the grinder and filter and the assembly that trap compacted coffee
    • Before this product, I was using a hand grinder and it took a half an hour to grind enough coffee to make one brew
    • Truly enjoying delicious robust coffee once again.
    • I don't think the container with the lid into which the ground coffee falls is well designed from the standpoint of easily placing it in the pour filter.
    • It makes great tasting coffee that, while not exactly like my old machine, does rival it at a fraction of the cost
    • Having fresh ground coffee brewed at the push of a button is so convenient, and so tasty!The permanent filter sprays clean quickly, and being able to put everything that touches the coffee in the dishwasher makes cleanup so easy
    • This is ceritianly a step up for us in terms of grinding coffee
    • It uses two metal grinding disc that grind the coffee to the desired level.
    • I like that it can make various types of grinds and that you can fine tune to your likes/coffee maker and the number of cups you want
    • However, the static charge in the ground coffee cup is a pain.
    • I like the way it looks, but the coffee it makes is definitely lacking.
    • Assuming it lasts for over 10 years, I feel like I got my money's worth and the coffee is actually good.
    • Krups is a brand that is synonymous with excellent coffee.
    • For my needs, this works just fine and makes a great fresh ground coffee
    • Great product to get fresh coffee grinds.
    • As with all of these grinders (not unique to this, I suppose), the setting for how much coffee you want to grind feels a bit arbitrary
    • This, of course, totally defeats the purpose of the coarse grind meant for the French press, and results in silty, muddy coffee.
    • We first suspected that the grinder we received had a flaw, but after reading other reviews, we are convinced this grinder simply doesn't produce anything close to a "fine" coffee grind
    • The coffee tastes good and the maker is easy to use and easy to clean
    • I just wanted to be able to experience good coffees and change things up easier, but I didn't want the old fashioned behemoth that leaves coffee grinds all over your kitchen, either.
    • The ideal coffee for me is a "cafe con leche" that can be found anywhere in Spain--very strong, full of flavor, but not a high octane espresso that is often bitter and not smooth.
    • I finally put together a list of specs I wanted in my ideal coffee maker
    • What we replaced and compare these to: First, these 2 carafes replaced our Cuisinart Grind and Brew which was making progressively weaker coffee (it only holds a certain amount of beans, and the grinder was NOT the burr grinder model)
    • Wrong!First of all, grinding coffee is a mess.
    • It would be really nice if I could grind enough coffee to fill my coffee canister, which is probably only about 6 cups
    • Does perform well makes great coffee but just be prepared for a mess
    • The coffee tastes OK but not quite as good as a home brew pour over or my paper cone type maker
    • The differences between finely ground and coarsely ground coffee beans is not as it should be
    • I recommend this to one cup a day coffee drinkers who want a really fresh coffee at every brew.
    • I use it to grind fresh coffee beans and it makes a great cup of coffee
    • It's messy and the fine coffee grinds created, even when selecting a medium or coarse grind, will cling to the grind collector.
    • This is a pretty good coffee maker with the added bonus of being able to grind coffee beans
    • I drink strong dark coffee only, but it just doesn't come that way with this unit.
    • Fast and affordable!I bought this product to make cold brew coffee in a half-gallon mason jar
