First, I ordered this from William Sonoma back in December and they kept sending emails of delay. I saw this on this site and ordered it. Got it within the week and saved myself the tax and shipping. Great job to the seller on sending it fast and offering those perks. I ordered it in red and the one review prior said the machine they received leaked all over. Mine works great.This machine grinds the bean and brews the coffee so while it is a pleasure to sip freshly brewed coffee, there is some maintenance to be done to continue to have that fresh brewed coffee. One would think it would be hard to clean but this machine is ingeniously designed. Clean up is easy and relatively fast.There was a bit of a learning curve to use it but the manual is very thorough. I have referred to it several times in the last month but now I "know" my coffee maker. If the instructions are followed, you, too, will have great coffee. I highly recommend this product (and seller) if you love a good fresh brewed cup of coffee and are willing to do some minimal cleaning each time to achieve that great taste.On pricing, it is a pricey coffee maker but I wanted something that did it all in one. And this does it. It is relatively fast - by that, it takes a few minutes to get your "hot" coffee - but that seems normal as it takes a few minutes to heat up water. It has a built in cleaning after you are done by hitting a sequence of buttons and this forces hot water through the tubing so that when my husband wants a cup of tea after my cup of coffee, it does not taste like coffee in his tea.Overall, if you enjoy fresh brewed coffee an the price is affordable to you, go for it. I am glad I did.
