I love this coffee maker. I don't drink coffee often, but when I do, I don't want more than one cup. I love that I can use my own coffee (none of those disposable cups) and know exactly how much I'm getting. The recipe book is also extremely handy, and has opened my eyes to all sorts of coffee drinks! The amount of money I've saved after buying this is fantastic. The blending feature is probably my favorite, since I'm all about Frappes, but it also works well for smoothies and other blended drinks. Everything is so easy to clean, it's simple, and it does everything I need it to. Highly recommend!
