It’s delightful!
I really love this thing! I hesitated for over a year about buying it because of the cost, but pulled the trigger last September; I haven’t been disappointed! My caffeine consumption has increased, but not to anything unmanageable. Most mornings are filled with an americano or espresso. You can use the default settings, or dial in the grind setting (more fine or course), as well as how much water to use, temperature of the water, amount of coffee ground, how much water to add (for an americano) or shot time (for espresso). Aka, you can really geek out on this if that’s your thing, or you can use the defaults and just enjoy the simplicity of the machine. The fresh ground beans was the biggest appeal to me, especially since it’s automatic. All that said, it’s fairly simple to use, add water, add coffee beans, clean grounds out routinely, refill water. The few questions or issues I’ve had, TK’s customer service was able to answer and resolve super fast.
