Is the canister where the coffee is ground removable for easy cleanup? Or is the whole machine a one piece item?

hi there. it is one piece, not removable, it is easy to cleanup, just take a cloth to wipe it clean.

It is easily cleaned. I just doesn't work very well. The smallest bit of grounds or dust gets in the wrong place and the grinder has to be taken apart and cleaned then put back together.

I take the pods back to the store for recycling, but I don't think every store does that (I live in NYC). There's a contraption called the Outpresso that makes it easy to empty the coffee grounds (once they're empty they can be recycled anywhere). Unfortunately it's not widely available, but I think it can be ordered: http://www.outpresso.com/index-e-1.htm.

no. that is the "professional" model that has the large base beneath it. in this model, the grinds are in a bin just inside the door; and the drip tray is just beneath where you see the coffee cups in the picture...you slide the entire tray out when you have the door open to remove the cup with the spent beans...

You are correct. You do not have to remove it. Be aware that you absolutely do not want to use a fine ground coffee. They will overflow

The two parts do not separate. It is a bit of a strange design... The handles blocks some of the safety instructions on the glass. This being said, I have no problem getting the coffee maker totally clean.

Yes, it's easy to remove the hopper and get to the burrs (but I don't remember the last time I did that). I put so much coffee through it daily there's no chance for stale ground coffee to accumulate. As I recall, a little brush comes with the grinder. --Jene

Yes. It is one piece. We have not had any trouble getting cakes out of it cleanly.

You'll probably need a coffee scoop and a permanent filter as the paper ones are awkward and can spill if you're not careful. Otherwise, it's set up and ready to go. What parts would you expect you had to buy? There are only two parts: the brewing unit and the coffee pot.

It's removable. Move the cup around (it titled to the side and I was able to remove it that way).

No it isn't hard to clean at all. And the coffee is superb. The element comes apart to clean it & I soak it vinegar once a month.

Yes, completely removable so it can be washed. If you use it, you'll want to wash it as coffee will spill/drip into the container. I've removed it before and used a tumbler before.

The grounds are compacted pods dropped into a holder attched to the drip tray behind the front door., The LCD panel alerts you when it's time to empty the drip tray and grounds. You add water on the top left, you add coffee beans to the top right. Lids lift up for easy use. The water tank needs to be filled frequently, so I just refill after every use. I love the results, especially of the milk for cappuccinos. It's a very easy machine to use once you've programmed it. Mine was new.

No it is not. You can detach to empty it but cannot use it without the canister.

Yes this maxhinegri DS the coffee and the grounds are stored in a cup for disposal. And yes there is a water drip tray that holds the excess water to be emptied later.....thx Jack

It could be removed but that would damage it. It's not made to be removed. It is a last filter before coffee flows into the cup but not absolutely necessary to operation of the machine.

No, it does not. As a matter of fact, it states not to use grounds at all. The hopper only grinds whole beans. It isn't removable either, unfortunately. I give the machine high marks, but not necessarily for that feature.
