Wake up to freshly ground coffee instead of coffee that has been sitting in a bag for days. This 8-cup coffee maker grinds whole beans right before brewing with a stainless SUS420 grinding blade, and a stepless adjustment knob lets you dial in anything from a fine grind for a stronger cup to a coarse grind for a milder one. Short on time or out of beans? Switch over to the pre-ground setting and brew straight from ground coffee without losing a step. Adjustable strength control lets you move between light, moderate, and strong extraction depending on the roast and your mood, and the machine works with its reusable filter or with standard paper filters if you would rather skip the cleanup. Set the 24-hour auto brew timer before bed and the pot is ready when you walk into the kitchen the next morning. At 10.58 pounds and a compact 11.5 x 7.2 x 17.2 inch footprint, it tucks onto a counter in a home kitchen, office break room, or small restaurant service area without crowding the space. Ground coffee falls straight into a collection container as it is ground, so there is no residue left on the counter between brews.
