I got one for Christmas and like it very much. It has a timer and thermal
carafe (no warming plate) which are essentials for me with a coffee maker.
The coffee it makes from whole bean coffee is far superior to my prior
machine (which didn't have a grinder) -- coffee made from pre-ground coffee
is as good as that made by my old machine.

That it has a bypass switch to make coffee from pre-ground stuff is an
important feature to me. I don't use it often, but I'm very glad it's
there.

Main disadvantage to the machine is that the grinder is really loud. I
suspect this is true of most combination grinder/makers. Cats have yet to
not be scared when it trips on.
