Title: Good concept, poor execution
Review: When I saw this in the store, I thought it was a great idea. Waking up to a pot of coffee, made with freshly ground beans, seemed lovely. Unfortunately, this machine does not brew coffee worth being excited about in the morning.My primary complaint is that the grinding chamber is too small. You can't put enough beans in there to make a full pot of decent strength. Compounding this problem is the fact that the machine seems to make very weak coffee anyway (even without using the grind feature). As other reviewers have also mentioned, the grinder is extraordinarly loud. I didn't mind the noise but if you have late risers in your household, they will hate waking up to that sound.Another aspect of this machine that I've realized I dislike is not being able to select my grind. This is not exactly a fault of the machine but something to consider if you're particular about the grind of your beans. I've happily gone back to my seperate grinder and my old Krups machine.
Is the review positive or negative?
