I got my little Mr. Coffee to take camping and also to take when staying in a Hotel that may not have the coffee maker in the room.  As someone who really has to have at least that first cup of coffee in the morning to get moving, this is perfect.  The size is just right to pack away and take with.  Of course pack well to keep the carafe safe, but a great size coffee pot to take with you!  And Mr. Coffee brand is definitely one that has delivered great quality in coffee brewing for many years now.
