 Does as it says February 8, 2006

*The built in grinder works just fine and detatches easily so you can pour it into the filter.
*It uses Militta type #2 cone filters and the water drips slowly, so there are not flooding problems.
*Instead of filling the carafe, you fill the detatchable water tank. Not more or less convenient really, just different. Hey, you wanted to be different. Nice because it's not breakable like the carafe.
* 6 cup maker instead of 12 cups -- its my own fault I didn't notice that.
* Temp is fine. I think those fancy BUNN machines everyone loves so much get the brew so hot it destroys the flavor. That's just a personal opinion.
*I have not used the ice tea maker function - we already have a different unit for that, so I can't render an opinion.
* Small carbon filter twists off and they ask that you just rinse it in regular water before you make a fresh pot. Its suggested replacement is every 2 years - although most people never replace them, so its not a worry.
* Instructions are specific and simple - they also come in spanish / Se habla espanol :)
It does what it says it will do, but is it as great coffee maker?
No, it's as good as most. You can get a $20+ Mr. Coffee or whatever you like and it will do no better or worse, Im sure.

I had been searching for a coffee maker with a built-in grinder and even went as far as purchasing a Cuisinart for $150.00, which I didn't care for and returned. There aren't that many coffee makers out there with the built-in grinders, so I decided to give the Sanyo a try. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised at how hot the coffee was (compared to the Cuisinart) and how delicious. I was a little bit disappointed in that I thought the grinder automatically ground the coffee and brewed it, but got over that quickly, since everything else was so great. I also would have preferred the coffee maker been in black rather than the dark gray color, but again, it is a minor flaw to me. All in all, for the money, I don't think there is a better coffeemaker out there with the features it has for the low price. Buy it! Patricia Davis in Cave Creek, AZ

Great coffee pot, it has a very Japanese style about it, and it seems to be of higher quality than the Mr Coffee machines which seem to die after 1-2 years of daily use. All of the Sanyo items that I have owned, from my rice cooker to my tv set have lasted a long time. The coffee is plenty hot, but not too hot, and brews relatively fast. It's also shockingly easy to keep this machine clean- after 3 month of daily use it still looks brand new.
Features which are different from most coffee pots:
grounds container:
This sits in the pot itself, it is not attached to the coffee-pot body, as with most. Most coffee pots seem like they are permanently dirty, but the Sanyo method enables you to keep the machine a LOT cleaner because the grounds aren't held right against the water spout.
grinder:
I like having an attached grinder, it saves counter space, and an outlet, and its the quietest grinder that I have ever heard.
reservoir:
It detaches, so you don't spill water all over the machine while emptying a carafe of water into it.
off-switch: I wish that it had auto-power-off. That cost it 1 star. Otherwise this machine is perfect!
tea-maker: I only used it once, but because the tea-leaf-container is separate from the coffee-grinds-container your tea does not end up tasting like coffee. (assuming you clean the carafe!)
size: 6 4-oz cups.
 Misleading description January 12, 2005

Usually, i am fan of Sanyo products. This one has a misleading description. This is not a typical mill & brew, you mill & you have to transfer to brew. Then, why not have separate mill & brewing machines. what is the use of this one ?
Thanks to Amazon.com return policy
Perfect coffee maker for the office September 11, 2006

This coffee maker is a 6 cup maker, which equates to about 2 office cups, perfect for the early morning coffee drinker.
I really like the detachable tank.
The grinder and coffee maker are both reasonably quiet.
At $39, the price is good. I didn't spend an arm and a leg for it and I get a great cup of coffee, every morning.
