I love this coffee maker!  There are so many options with it.   First it has a carafe that will hold 5 cups of fresh brewed coffee.   But it can also be used to make enough for one mug of coffee OR a travel mug!   The base can be removed or adjusted to accommodate the carafe, mug or travel mug!!!   You can also make pot over coffee by removing the lid on carafe and placing the brew basket directly over the carafe or your mug! The water reservoir is clearly marked for the type of brew you need.   It like having four coffee makers in one!  And the size is perfect to leave it on the counter!!   I am loving this!!
