This is a perfect coffee machine for my husband and I, as I like to have 1 cup of coffee at a time, and he brews a full carafe for work. We love that it has the automatic feature so it will start his coffee off the time we tell it to. It comes with a reusable k-cup for regular coffee usage, while also offering the use of k-cups. The 56 ounce reservoir is really nice to have because it does not need to be refilled constantly. It is very easy to clean, very easy to use, and the instructions are simple to follow. If your household is like mine and enjoys single cups of coffee while also needing a carafe full, give this a try, there will be no disappointment.
