This is the best coffee maker I have used. It has every feature that anyone would need. I mainly use the 12 cup side in the morning and the single cup side if I want a cup during the day or evening. I can set the timer for having the coffee maker all done when I get up in the morning. The single cup side has a feature so you can use keurig or your own brand of coffee. It even has a option for different size single cups.
