This is a great machine for the average coffee drinker.  Simple to use, sleek in design, and compact enough for most size kitchens.  It is really simple to use and set up, and makes a good cup or carafe of coffee.  For pods, the flavor is much better than the usual pod machine makes.  For grounds, the quality is great no matter if it's a small cup or a whole carafe.  It is easy to switch between ground and pods when necessary, and the adapter holder is convenient and saves counter/drawer space in the kitchen.  The Over Ice is a great addition for iced coffee drinkers.  This maker is great!
