I live in a full house that’s half coffee drinking half tea drinking. I have had a coffee maker that has a hot water option, but the problem is the hot water comes out of the same spout. It’s impossible to clean out the tiny hole so my hot water ends up tasting like coffee and doesn’t run clear. This machine is awesome because the water comes out of two different spouts so my water comes out clean. Also, I can get rid of my prior solution to this problem (my electric kettle) which is awesome because my young daughter likes to make her own tea and I don’t have to worry about her accidentally spilling hot water while pouring out of a hot kettle. This machine is awesome for weekend breakfasts because you can run both at the same time so everyone can get their drink without having to wait. The reusable filter is nice and easy to clean.
