I am not a daily coffee drinker so I wanted something that was more for my occasional needs and this has been working great.  I use a tall travel mug and it fits nicely under the brewer and I love that there is a spot to store the extra filter.  The only problem I have with it is if I try to pour 14 oz of water in it, it leaks around the brewing spout and makes a mess.  For me this isn't really a problem because while my cup is 16 oz, I use a lot of creamer so 12-13 oz of coffee is actually just right but for my partner it is annoying because he can only get 3/4 of his mug filled.  He does appreciate the bold brew feature though so he is also content with it.
