When I saw this coffee maker I got really excited because it could make my coffee and hot water to make tea if needed . The only thing I would want is a place to grind my coffee beans . But I bought a grinder . There is  1-4 settings that will only work if you place the exact amount of water . If you put more water and select 1-4 it won’t give you 4 cups but will give you the amount of water placed in the reservoir. I wished I could fill my reservoir but select how much coffee I want brewed .
