The Mr. Coffee 4 in 1 has so far been great to use. I enjoy hot coffee in the morning which I can brew in a pod free. The hot coffee can be brewed as single serve or in amounts of 8, 12, or 16 oz. The neat thing about this coffee maker is that you can also make iced, cappuccino or lattes. The functionality is amazing, it has a built in milk frothier as well. As much as I hate giving up counter space I will say this machine is very compact and does not occupy a lot of room.
