Had the machine about a week and every use produces ground debris escaping onto the counter and behind the collection cup. Using setting 18 for drip or 32 for cold brew and pretty much same thing. Messier than expected.
Is this normal?
That is a very popular model AFAIK and one of the advantages seems to be replacement parts availability.
How long to grind 6-8 drip cups, approximately?
Just took me 1/2 hour or more to hand grind enough for two days. Not something I don't want to do regularly especially before my first cup...
I am mostly interested in drip coffee (8 cup load usually), my daughter mentioned doing cold brew. Budget is $200. I am the first riser in the house so I need either whisper quiet or grind the night before and seal for use in the morning.
I am leaning in the direction of the Breville Smart Brew...
