For about the first month this was the greatest coffee maker I had.

For the last several years I've been grinding my own beans.  So this coffee maker was nice, because it would grind them and was programmable.  And it made a damn good cup of joe.

Well, after about the first month, it would only do about 2 cups even though I had it filled with water.

I have to run it once, then run it a few more times with the grind off to get a full pot.

Also, the grinder is the whirly bird kind, as opposed to a burr grinder, so all the grinds are different sizes.  I even seems to grind too much, as a lot of dust like grinds end up in the actual coffee.

I'm going to go back to a different drip maker, and grinding my own with a burr grinder.
