Convenient, but reusable filter difficult to get clean
I got this machine bc I liked the color/coded scoop and water reservoir that helps you get the right amount of grounds for the amount of water youre using, and because I wanted a machine that I could program to have coffee ready in the morning before I get up (since I usually work evenings but sometimes have to work a more normal shift).
I had some issues with the reusable filter being difficult to get clean, so the taste of our coffee got gradually worse. After cleaning the coffee pot itself (in case there was additional buildup somewhere other than the filter) without the taste improving I switched to paper filters, which fixed that issue.
So I recommend this machine with its included scoop and programmable brew later function, but I would skip using the included reusable filter and either use paper filters or a different flat/bottom reusable filter thats easier to clean.
