Combines grinding and drip brewing in one appliance, so whole beans can be brewed without transferring grounds to another machine.
Grind-off mode supports brewing pre-ground coffee when the grinder is not wanted.
Programmable start time, smaller-batch settings and Brew Pause offer flexibility for different routines.

Cons

The built-in grinder adds a grinding step at the start of a brew, which customer feedback describes as very loud.
