I love my small coffee maker, it looks really nice and it takes up so little space on my counter. It works very well, took a couple of tries to know how many spoonfuls of coffee per water that I like for taste.  Coffee comes out nice and hot, also nice to have a warmer plate again to refill my cup.  I have not used the automatic timer yet, I had trouble setting the clock on it.  In the evening I tried to set it to pm it get reverting to am, so next morning I tried setting it to am and it kept reverting to pm.  I still like it and will spend more time on this issue.  I like to grind my own coffee rather than use pods, and I've been using a small Capresso grinder for a couple years now too that works very well.
