The Amazon Renewed CAM51025MB-cr is a refurbished whole-bean automatic coffee machine that grinds and brews from fresh beans. The bean-to-cup convenience is real, but the very small review base and 3.6-star average make this a buy only if the renewed discount is steep enough to offset the risk.
Fresh-coffee drinkers who want a machine that grinds whole beans on demand and are comfortable buying refurbished to access that feature at a lower price.

9 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other coffee makers, kettles and brewers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
This machine takes whole beans rather than pods or pre-ground coffee, which puts it in bean-to-cup territory. It runs a fully automatic cycle on a 1500-watt heater at 120 volts, so the grind-and-brew happens in one pass for the freshest possible cup.
It is a substantial unit. The stainless-finished, plastic-and-steel body weighs about 19 pounds, which is in line with a countertop automatic that houses a grinder and brew group. Being an Amazon Renewed listing, it is a refurbished item rather than new.
The hesitation here is data. The rating sits at 3.6 stars across only nine ratings, which is far too small a sample to be confident about reliability. At roughly $400 renewed, the fresh-bean appeal is the draw, but the thin feedback means you are taking on more uncertainty than usual.
Pros
Grinds and brews from whole beans for maximum freshness
Fully automatic 1500-watt operation
Sturdy 19-pound stainless-finish build
Renewed pricing can undercut a new bean-to-cup machine
Cons
Only single-digit reviews to judge reliability
Below-average 3.6-star rating so far
Refurbished rather than new
Heavy 19-pound footprint
Performance notes
A 1500-watt, 120-volt fully automatic system brews directly from whole beans, so it grinds on demand rather than using pods or pre-ground coffee. The plastic-and-stainless body weighs roughly 19 pounds, consistent with a grinder-equipped countertop automatic.
What buyers say
Feedback is limited: a 3.6-star average across just nine ratings. That is too small a sample to draw firm conclusions, so the score should be read as preliminary rather than settled.
