I rarely drink more than one cup of coffee a day and have only owned one other single serve coffee maker.  While this one looked like it was limited with options, the reality is that it met my needs perfectly!  Even though my old coffee maker offered 3 cup sizes, I always made the same size - 10 oz - so this was perfect in that regard.  Also, I loved that it included the option to use your own coffee vs. k-cups, which is so much better for the environment, not to mention more economical.  That required a separate purchase for my last coffee maker and the coffee never tasted right.  The Proctor Silex basket is much bigger so you have a lot more freedom in how strong you want your coffee if you're using "loose" coffee grounds.  Finally, the amount of counter space this took up was minimal and it looks really great.  I highly recommend this coffee maker.
