I bought this unit about a month ago. We have a diverse household of tastes. I enjoy my pot of coffee during the morning, my daughter likes her own pod a coffee and my wife enjoys iced coffees in the afternoon. This unit delivers on all of those wants. I added the permanent filter to the mix, which works great instead of dealing with paper filters. Turning on the warming plate if someone else uses the unit for something else seems to be hidden, if not accessible which is annoying. Overall, great unit that can perform multiple styles and tasks well.
