I love this coffee maker station. I was hesitant to get it as I’d seen reviews of people having issues with the pods so of course that was the 1st thing I tested because I generally make 1 cup a day and it worked beautifully. The carafe also comes in handy. It’s fast for both in my opinion. This is a space saver as you’re getting 2 in one. It’s also a stylish addition to the kitchen. Even though I haven’t tried features like setting up a schedule or even brewing over ice, I would recommend this coffee maker
