The 700BC is a programmable coffee make that has a burr grinder so that you can have the pleasure of having fresh ground coffee every morning without even having to leave your house to get it. The burr grinder works in such a way that it does no damage the integrity of the bean which means that the entire true flavor of the particular bean is what you get in your coffee. The bean hopper is sealable and can hold up to 1/2 lb. of beans. There is a strength selector too so your coffee will never be either too strong or too weak. There are also grind control functions that allow you to fine tune the volume and intensity, giving you complete control over the entire process.
