We are very happy with the features on this coffee maker. I am able to make a pot of coffee with 12 cups of coffee at a single time. Or I am also able to make single drip coffee's if only one person is having coffee. The pot, and k-cup single drip have separate water reservoirs so we are not always having to fill them. When using the pot there is a warming plate under the carafe to keep it warm for up to 4 hours. We like that we are able to program the machine so we have fresh coffee right away in the morning when we wake up. We would recommend this coffee machine to others.
