Mixpresso 2-in-1 Grind & Brew Automatic Coffee Maker with Built-in Grinder - Single Serve Personal Coffee Machine with 14oz Travel Mug & Auto Shut Off - Perfect for Home, Office & Travel - Black

I bought this for my second cup of coffee in the morning. I start my day using my super automatic espresso machine so i can get my caffeine fix but as for a second cup, it is decaf for my second cup. My espresso machine has the caffeine beans already inside so i had been grinding the decaf beans for my second cup of coffee with using a coffee press. Its alot of work to grind the beans, slowly pour water in coffee press, put timer on for 4 minutes. I thought it would be nice to have a one cup coffee machine that grinds the beans and that is small enough to put in under kitchen cabinets. This fits the bill for all the above needs. I love that its not too big and fits under and inside my cabinets. I must say the coffee from this small machine comes out perfect. I measure the water to the 12oz marking inside this unit. Then i scoop 6 scoops of coffee beans into unit. The scoop that comes with this machine is like a teaspoon and ideally you use 2 tbsp per 6 oz of water for strong coffee. I use a medium roast coffee like Allegra organic early bird and i must say the coffee comes out perfect. I just hope this unit keeps working for along time. I will be updating later on that.Update: still works great. The directions are not so good. You must fill the water to only the markings inside and do not overfill. Its good idea to measure the beans so not to overfill bean grinder holder. Rule of thumb is for every 6oz of water to use 1 -2 tbsp of beans. I go with 2tbsp of beans because i prefer strong coffee. Once beans and water done, plug unit in, if already plugged in, its VERY important you hit the bean button ONCE and wait for machine to grind and brew. In directions it states to never hit bean button with NO beans in bean grinder or machine will malfunction. After machine grinds and brews, the lights will stop flashing and coffee is ready. If you wait longer the machine automatically turns off.
