At our holiday dinner the coffeemaker was the topic of conversation because it looks cool and made great coffee. I would recommend it.
 Screen filter makes weak coffee January 9, 2007

I bought one of these because I thought it would make it easier to brew fresh ground coffee. The beans are ground in a chamber with screen walls and then the coffee is brewed by dripping water right through the grinding chamber. This works surprisingly well and is easy to clean since you can remove the grinding chamber and rinse it out in the sink.
The problem I had is that the the bottom and sides of the brewing chamber are all mesh so water ran through the beans to quickly making a weak cup of coffee. Adding more coffee produced stronger coffee but it wasn't as full-flavored as a cup brewed through a paper filter in a standard coffee maker.
I ended ditching this product and going back to a standard coffee maker and a stand alone grinder. If you like the complex flavors of a strong cup of coffee you'll probably end up doing the same.

This is the best grind and brew coffee maker I have seen. Easy to operate and easy to clean. We have had it for 5 months and not a single problem. Great tasting coffee every time. The timer allows you to wake up to the smell of freshly brewed delicious coffee.

This review concurs with many reviews that the electronic functions of this coffee maker has fundamental flaws. The major flaw with this coffee maker is that it does not hold the settings if it loses the FM data signal. If the signal is lost the pot does not know what time it is and will not automatically brew coffee using the timer. We live in an area that has the FM radio signal, but the pot constantly loses the signal resetting the pot. I have been unsuccessful in making a pot of coffee using the timer mode.
Overall the weather functions are interesting, the pot makes a good cup of coffee, but I want a pot that makes the coffee automatically in the morning. I have returned this coffee maker for one with a simple timer.
This thing freakin rocks! January 20, 2007

Was originally concerned about the looks/quality of the unit from the pic, but it looks much better once you get it out of the box. The grinder works very well, easy to clean (vs some reviews of competitors products).
It's a bit pricey, and I'm concerned about MSN's dedication for the weather info- but I guess we'll see how long it lasts. Even if it doesn't, it won't detract from the great coffee this thing makes- just a bit of the "wow" factor!
