The multi serving coffee maker gives me professional coffee at home. It comes with the options to have my coffee bold, light or golden with the chose of temperature I want my coffee brewed at as well! It gives me the option to brew a pot or a single serving which makes it easy for when I have a group or heading off to work a cup of coffee for myself, or if I'm feeling sick I have the option to have a nice warm cup of tea without having to wait for a tea kettle or warming water on the stove or microwave! This coffee maker does it all and has been a nice addition to my coffee bar. I will be recommending these as gifts for those friends or relatives who are true coffee lovers.
