This 4-in-1 coffee station doesn't take up too much space, which is a plus If you don't have too much shelf space. I love that you can brew in your own mug with the adjustable stand, in the included carafe, or your own travel mug. You can also pour over brewing if that is your preferred way to drink coffee. This also comes with it's own permanent filter. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
