Good coffee pot after a few cycles
I have been on a whole journey with this coffee pot. I really do like it now. I appreciate that it has the grinder built into the coffee pot so that there’s one less appliance on my counter. It looks great and is easy to use. That being said if you follow the instructions that come with it to a t you’re going to have a bad time. You need to make sure that you run multiple pots of actual coffee through the pot not just water as the instructions say. The first pot of coffee that we made with this made my husband throw up. The coffee smells so chemically and terrible and I’m not even sure how he was able to stomach the smell to get a few sips down. After that I ran at least five full pots of coffee through to see if we could get the chemical smell gone and it did go away eventually. I have also noticed that if you run it on the highest being setting the coffee comes out smelling it extremely burnt. Now we have figured out how to use it in a way that we like in the mornings and I appreciate that it’s reliable. It makes a good consistent cup of coffee and I think the built-in grinder is a great value. I do like that the hot plate keeps the coffee warm but I do feel like after a while it starts tasting really burnt. I tend to get it when it’s fresh or not at all. Overall this coffee pot was a good find and I’m glad we have it, I just wish that I had known how bad that first pot was going to be so that I could have protect my husband from the nasty bit he drank.

Don’t Buy This Coffee Maker
Updating this review 4/27/26 The grinder stopped working on Friday right before I was leaving out for work so I didn’t have my fresh grind coffee which was upsetting. Haven’t had it even a year.This coffee machine it’s OK it’s good but after a little while the grinder will get stuck so you have to move the beans around so that it can continue grinding. And to clean the grinder chamber getting the piece off was a little tricky. The clock is kind of an issue as well because when I set the clock, it’s fine, but then later it turns to military time.

Fresh Grind Brewer
This type of drip coffee maker is made to manage the entire process within a single machine, grinding the beans and brewing the coffee in one unit. The concept is convenience rather than using a separate grinder and brewer, everything occurs automatically, allowing you to enjoy fresh coffee with minimal effort. After spending some time with it and research, I noticed that the same exact design appears under multiple different brand names online. As a result, I found myself questioning whether it was genuinely a branded appliance rather than just a generic model with a different label. Although that does not mean it won’t function effectively, it did prompt me to scrutinize the price more closely, as identical versions seem to be available for significantly less in other places. With respect to features, it certainly provides more than just a basic drip machine. The integrated grinder is the highlight feature, as it allows you to brew directly from whole beans rather than having to measure pre-ground coffee each time.I think the ability to modify grind size and strength is a beneficial feature, particularly for those who enjoy trying out various kinds of beans. Touchscreen controls and the programmable timer add to the convenience of daily use and the ability to set it the night before and have coffee ready in the morning is one of those features I quickly cannot live without. Compared to smaller household machines, the capacity is also generous. If several people are consuming coffee or if you like to prepare extra for the fridge to use later for iced coffee, brewing a larger batch at once is useful. The warming plate helps maintain the coffee’s drinkability for a short time post-brewing, but like most warming plates, it’s most effective during the initial period before the flavor begins to alter.

So far so good!
Right out of the box, I was impressed. Usually ordering a kitchen appliance from a non “name brand” can feel kind of risky. But the directions manual was extremely thorough for all functions of the coffee maker, and the company has an American address and phone number for support.It can be used both with or without the bean grinder function, but we wanted to try grinding our own beans. We started at the finest grind setting, which worked fine, but ends up giving the last cup of coffee in the carafe a silty texture. The mesh filter could maybe be supplemented with a paper filter to counteract this. Unfortunately you are not supposed to change the blade position of the grinder while there are beans still in it, so if you want to test different coarseness levels make sure to do a small amount of beans at a time.The brewing capacity is the right size for what we need. We’re testing it at home with the ultimate goal of transferring it to a small office. The water reservoir holds more than we likely will use, especially as we are planning to brew the coffee on one of the stronger settings (more coffee in the filter and less water in the reservoir).Most of all, were happy with the difference in quality over pre-ground beans in our typical ceramic pour over. Having more control over the coffee strength and volume, as well as the functionality of the heater timers, works very well.This is our first proper coffee maker, so in terms of value for money we don’t have a great comparison point. However, I think having the grinder integrated into the coffeemaker itself is a selling point if you are a coffee lover with somewhat limited space. The coffee maker also has a built in alert for when it needs to be cleaned, and included a single portion for descaling powder.
