I looked at this for quite a long time and finally purchased it.   I don't know why I waited so long.  It is amazing.   No pods, yet I can brew a cup of coffee or tea of any size I want, or a full pot.   I use it daily, most days I use it multiple times.   I love herbal iced tea on these hot Florida summer days.  I brew a pot every morning and it is amazing.   I've made coffee in the full carafe, in cups, etc.   it's great and I'm not dealing with the cost and waste of coffee pods.   In the evening I always brew a cup of herbal hot tea before bed.   It's awesome!   Highly recommend this product.
