The product page appears to be a different model, but some reviews have photos of this exact model, and others mention a built-in grinder.
Bella is sort of hit or miss. Mostly miss although the Bello pro toaster is pretty good when it works but the digital timer can glitch. But it's only toast.
Coffee is an art to produce.
Reasons:
No matter what "size" cup of coffee I selected, it put out 2 ounces extra of water.
I like my coffee strong and even selecting the "bold" setting and standing over the machine and stopping the brew, ("bold grind and amount of beans but less water) it was not bold to my taste.
It is the same unit sold as the Drew Barrymore one at Walmart, this just doesn't come in pretty colors.
Cleaning...ugh.
The permanent filter basket has a unique design, I'm sure to extract the most flavor, but you cannot use a paper filter in it (according to the instructions). You will have to remove the hinged top of the basket and then smack the filter basket on some newspaper or something on a flat surface and then rinse it out. Your plumber will love you for all those coffee grounds that still end up going down your drain.
Maybe the unit I bought was defective, causing the extra 2 ounces of water for every coffee size selected, but based on the strength of brew, I still wouldn't buy this.
If your palate is okay with a lower strength of coffee, this is a nice machine, nice functionality (grind, brew time, options) but I still don't love the process for cleaning the grounds (basket).
At 45 bucks, versus over a hundred for the Walmart version, it may be a good option for many.
FYI: To give you a sense of my taste/strength, ANY keurig brew/pod is also too weak for me (so if those work for you, this likely would too).
Cheers!
