As any long time coffee enthusiast will tell you, the most important part of coffee is its freshness. It may be possible to get a passable cup with pre-ground coffee, but for the absolute best cup - aside from a fresh roast - you simply must grind your beans right before brewing. This machine starts with the basics, incorporating a coffee grinder right in its design. It can also work with your favorite pre ground beans, so don't worry.
Other Features:
- Heated cup tray

This coffeemaker is capable of preparing espresso, coffee, latte, cappuccino, and other specialty drinks. I like that is is able to suit individual tastes, preparing as strong or as weak a brew as you wish - as my family members all have different styles for their favorite cup. Each espresso shot is also at the same ideal temperature, which is one of the main issues with pulling back to back shots. The spigot is adjustable, so you can use different cup sizes. I love that there is a descaling function, which effectively cleans the machine of build-up from the oils in coffee.
The spill tray fills up quickly, btw. So that is something to watch for. Also, hard water is not the best for this machine, so try to use distilled if possible.
