This is the perfect coffee maker because you can choose between making one cup of several different sizes or a whole pot. You can also set a time to start it at a certain time. You also can choose whether you would like to use kcups or your own because it comes with an adapter. The only complaint that i have is that once your are finished with the single cup side, it leaks a lot. It does have a catch tray but it gets really full. Overall i would recommend it.
