Title: Disappointing
Product review: I thought I was going to write an expose here, ripping the lid off this Krups failure -- if only I'd come to this site before I got this fool machine! I think it makes coffee that tastes good, and I was sure sick of the mess from using a separate grinder. But I quickly discovered that if you omit a single step in the set-up, you wind up with a pot full of dirty water and a hopper full of steamed beans. (This can happen even if you do things right. And since the hopper doesn't detach, it can be real tricky getting those wet beans out.) The first time I used it I set it up to have coffee ready when we got up. Darn thing went off like a jet engine and scared me silly. It's more complicated than a VCR and louder than a boombox. The reviewers are right: Bad engineering.
