I am a huge coffee drinker and have only ever owned a large coffee pot, but was excited to have the single cup maker for days when only one cup will do. This coffee maker is great because I can put my travel mugs or my smaller cups under the spout depending on if it is a work day or just a slow Sunday morning. I am also new to using K cups, so it was nice to switch up my flavors if I wanted a second cup. It is a very straight forward coffee maker and takes minutes to brew a cup. I like the option of using grounds as well as K cups and I also like that it does not take up much counter space in my small kitchen. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the tendency to leave a few grounds in the cup after brewing. All in all, this is definitely a product I will use a lot in the future.
