This is so  helpful in my house where not every day I use a single cup or the full pot.  It saves counterspace and has so many features I love.  First off it has a timer, warmer, one  single refillable container for water for both sides, reusable pods and allows you to use multiple types of cup.  It has so  many quality benefits in one single use, why would you not want this?  I have used all the features multiple times now and it makes great cups of coffee, not noticing any grinds in the coffee and makes a hot cup of coffee for day.
