Know before you buy
Yes, the Grind Control features an adjustable grinder that lets you customize the coarseness of your beans, allowing you to dial in the flavor profile to suit your preferred roast.
Yes, the machine includes a pre-ground coffee setting that bypasses the grinder, giving you the flexibility to use your favorite store-bought grounds when needed.
Unlike standard drip machines that let water pass through the grounds continuously, this technology holds the water in the filter basket with the coffee for a set period. This immersion process ensures a more thorough extraction, resulting in a richer and more balanced cup.
The Grind Control is designed with an adjustable tray that accommodates various vessel heights, including standard carafes, tall mugs, and most travel cups.
It is a semi-automatic machine. While it handles the grinding and brewing process once started, you have full control over settings like grind size, brew strength, and volume to customize your coffee exactly how you like it.
Like any burr grinder, it should be cleaned periodically to prevent oil buildup. The machine is designed for easy access to the grinding chamber, and regular brushing will keep the mechanism performing consistently.
