This coffee maker works well and looks nice. The only complaint is that it does not grind enough coffee. In order to grind enough coffee for 10 cups, I set the grinder for 10 cups and when it is done grinding, I shut the coffee maker off and set the grinder for 6 more cups and then let it brew.

I've owned the previous version of the Capresso Grind/Brew and really liked it. When it gave up the ghost, after about 5 years, I bought this newer design. I love it! It is easier to use and it produces hotter coffee. I will say that you must use the darkest setting AND reduce the water to get a stronger brew. That's no problem for us since one pot filled to 8 cups is the perfect amount. If you are a big coffee drinker and like it strong, your going to be making multiple pots. There's nothing better than waking to perfectly brewed coffee! LOVE the easy timer feature!!! Clean up is a snap. Did I mention... I LOVE THIS COFFEE MAKER!?!

I had a previous version of this machine with the swing out filter basket for about 2 years. It suddenly gave out. It was good, but the coffee chute continually clogged. I use dark French Roast, and the beans are oily (I get up oily in the morning :) ). So I left the slot cover open and dealt with it. I read a lot of the comments here, and was a bit hesitant, but finally bit bought the item. Here are my observations comparing this with the old machine, which I liked.
1. The grinding noise is no where near as loud as the higher pitched whine of the old machine, but runs 25-30% longer.
2. Based on info in the reviews, I put the grind size to the middle, and no clogging.
3. Have set full aroma, 10 cups, pour in 6 cups of water. Excellent STRONG coffee. I drink it black.
4. More noise as it fills carafe, like a loud snap crackle pop. Big deal.
5. No swing out filter, no coffee grounds on counter.
6. Overall aesthetics are great. Really like the machine.
Hope this helps.

I've lived in a house with the big Capresso coffee centers and was expecting similar quality on a smaller scale. The grinder and timer and other functions are really convenient, and it makes good coffee once you figure out how to get it how you like it.
I program it for more cups than I add water so that I can get it a decent level of strength. Also had to completely abandon the filter holder and lid to the pot and just use the filter it came with and a paper filter combo and let it drip into the pot without the holder -- the water would fill up and over the filters and a ton of grounds get into the pot otherwise. I think the release that hits the lid of the pot gets stuck or something.
