This is a great product and works wonderful. I received the first one as a gift and upon unboxing it, I noticed the water container was cracked. It may have been the fault of the store or the shipper but I really loved the concept of the coffee maker and also the Instant brand, so I had to go and buy one for myself. I love the fact that you can brew a pod or an entire carafe of coffee. I love the sleek design and it fits perfectly with my Decor. I would recommend this product.
