This machine is now my favorite appliance! I bounce between hot and iced coffee throughout the day and day to day. And I also vary, depending on the day, if I'm grabbing a quick cup on the go or making a pot to sip for hours or with company. This gives me ALL OF THOSE OPTIONS in one! It brews an entire pot in minutes. Gives cup amount options and also oz options for single brew. I love that it now has an auto setting that the old one didn't have. I used the iced coffee setting this morning with my tea and it made a delicious iced tea that didn't lack flavor and was indeed cold, not luke warm with medium melted ice! It was also sent with 3 different packs of k cups to try which was an awesome added bonus from influenster and all 3 are awesome!
