I bought this to replace a single-serve coffee maker that  wore out.  I wanted one with a single and a drip-pot for groups.  So far it works great.  I use the single most of the time with the provided coffee grounds cup.  I don't use k-cups thought they work just fine.  It make s a nice cup of coffee.  The screen filter leaves a fine residue so I bought some paper filters for it.  I think it makes a better cup.  Otherwise a well-made piece of equipment
