For the last several years we have loved our Breville YouBrew. Unfortunately it broke and is no longer available. We tried the Grind Control model, but it does not have a steep control setting. YouBrew had a strength and flavor setting option. We had both settings at the highest so that we enjoyed very strong, but smooth coffee. For an individual cup, it would take @ 6.5 minutes to brew. The Grind Control took @ 3 minutes to brew, which made for a much weaker tasting cup of coffee. I called Breville customer service but they said that option is unavailable on this model. So, my question for you: Is there a comparable coffeemaker to the YouBrew? We want a machine with a grinder, single cup ability, and strength and steep time control. I have been looking at the Gaggia Anima, but it seems to have as many good reviews as bad. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Seven years late! I have a gaggia cadorna for my morning Americano and my wife’s milky drinks. But, I’m looking for something that will do a put that I can drink from though the morning. I’m running to decide between this and the breville precision brewer (which would need a grinder to be purchased as well). Any advice?

Is it really 17" high? Literature I read said 16.3" and 17" will NOT fit under my cabinet.

I was waiting to get this coffee maker so long because it’s very expensive. Finally I got it and was very disappointed. I loved how it worked and how you can adjust everything and make a single cup, but I had to return it. Your coffee got cold too quick. When your coffee is done the temp is just ok. Then it gets cold. And I wanted my coffee stronger and the reason I got this is so you can adjust your strength. All it does is grind it finer, then it was very fine and got into my coffee. Why could it just grind MORE coffee or add less coffee. That’s how you make your coffee stronger. Why couldn’t it just do that? It grinds it finer and then it gets in your coffee. It was almost perfect and almost amazing. It was disappointed because I really was in love with how it worked. I wanted to love it.

How loud is the grinder? I get up earlier than everyone else.

Does this machine have the plastic hoses like the Kuerig machines that are experiencing mold and bacterial problems??

I'm still fussing with the settings on my Cuisinart DGB-900BC (thermal carafe / no hot plate) trying to make the coffee strong enough. There are 3 strength settings, but no grind size control. Today I set it to "strong", set the grind control to 8 cups, but only put 4 cups of water through it. It's still not strong enough for my liking and the flavor isn't great either. How did this Breville compare to the Cuisinart Grind & Brew series in your experience? I might have to go back to my 5 cup Mr. Coffee for now. At least with that, I had a technique down for making a good cup.

What about this machine keeps it from having SCAA Certification?

[MOSLEHALGARNI]

Do you think I can stop the infusion phase?

[giuseppedimarco]

What about the water filter?! does it have one! or we have to buy water all the time!

[michaelgrossmann]

Is this still a good coffee maker to buy today? I need a new one and just got into the whole good cup of coffee thing

[Markjameslevy]

We have had this machine for some time. However we recently noticed a missing element to our coffee. We decided to.upgrade to the Moccamaster KGBT, and we use the Oxo goodgrips $99 burr grinder.
What is your opinion on my decision?

[paullinos]

My single cup capsule brewer broke few days a go. I just made coffee with my old regular drip brewer and the coffee was great. I was using too much the capsule brewer and I totally forgot what is a good cup of coffee. Those capsules are awful

[trinhk]

In the market for a good machine; does this make a lot of noise grinding?
