It does the job quick, it's cute, and takes up little space. The coffee has been coming out a lot more watery than from a regular coffee pot. Not sure if there is a trick to it or I just need to buy the darkest roast there is. My husband had a bitter sweet reaction to his cup of coffee. Not sure if it's worth the price, materials are the same as other coffee systems. I guess the name is what I payed for this time.
