(More customer reviews)I did extensive research on this type of grinder/brewer. Numerous customer reviews indicated problems with the grinder noise, coffee strength, and clogging. I would like to comment on all three items, as I have found solutions for all three. First the grinder noise; Yes, it's true it is loud and sounds like it's going to take off when grinding beans! There is no easy solution to this, so I set the timer and use it as an alarm clock! Second, is coffee strength. The type of filter used can cause a weaker or stronger tasting coffee. If you use a paper filter the water strains through more slowly and gives you a stronger tasting cup of Joe! If you use a gold, mesh filter, turn on the 1-4 cup option. It seems to delay the drip rate and makes a strong cup. Also filling the beans full and packing them in helps. Finally, the most written about issue with this type of grind/brew maker, the clogging of the coffee chute. Once the coffee has been ground, the ground coffee is deposited in the filter and brewed. During this process, moisture accumulates in the grinding area. As the instructions indicate, YOU NEED TO CLEAN THE COFFEE MAKER DAILY!!! It's that simple, I know it's hard, taking the five pieces and rinsing them in the sink, drying then and then re-installing! Give it a try it really works!
I bought this machine refurbished and found it to make a great cup oif coffee. It's not magic, it needs daily cleaning and a little tweeking.

A perfect addition to any modern kitchen, this 10-cup automatic coffeemaker grinds whole beans right before brewing to produce a fresh and flavorful pot of coffee. The 24-hour fully programmable unit works great for "wake-up" coffee or having coffee ready when it's time to serve dessert--without getting up from the table. In addition, its brew-pause function makes it simple to sneak a cup before the end of the brewing cycle. Smaller amounts can be brewed without any loss of flavor thanks to the unit's 1-4 cup setting, and its grind-off feature allows for using pre-ground coffee. For added convenience, the coffeemaker provides a large control panel, automatic shut-off for peace of mind, and a 10-cup (5 ounces each) thermal stainless-steel carafe with a generous stay-cool handle and drip-free pouring spout.
