Breville youbrew. It's a bean to cup brewer with an inbuilt timer. Which means you can wake up to brewed coffee from freshly ground beans.
Its grinder unfortunately has no adjustment so I have drilled out the rivets and put in screws and shimmed the blades with alfoil. You cant shim it out too much as the strength settings don't give you much control of grind time. But I was happy with the results when you brew immersion style
style.
It has two brew modes "carafe" and "single cup". What is not intuitive is that single cup mode brews with the valve closed so it's a bit more like an aeropress or paper filter french press than a drip brew. Which is actually great as I don't think it really grinds fine enough for a really good drip (ymmv).
It is missing a bit of trim from the carafe and tbh the carafe is the stupidest design I have ever encountered, just put your cup under there. The carafe is still technically usable it's just stupid and ugly.
I don't have the metal filter but I have paper and apparently the metal filter has a weird taste
