This coffee maker has been a great new addition to my kitchen counter top.  What is so great about this is that it brews single cups of coffee, but it can also brew an entire pot for your whole family or guests.  I prefer to buy whole bean coffee and grind it before using with this unit, but you could (perhaps more easily) simply buy ground coffee and use it right away with this.  The versatility to use with a K Cup is also super convenient and a nice feature.  There are two water reservoirs as well.  In my experience, this is pretty easy to clean and you can clean it as often or as infrequently as you want, but it doesn't take very long and is relatively straightforward.
