I just love Mr. Coffee coffee makers.  They are always so easy to use and reliable.  I like the smaller machine to take on the road with me when I travel.  I am also considering bringing it to my office so I can have hot coffee at the ready.  This machine is great for when you just want a cup or two of coffee.  It was easy to program the night before so that I could smell is brewing right when I got up.  I like that the machine pauses for the days that I'm impatient and don't want to wait for the brew to finish!  It makes one tasty cup of coffee.  The pot itself is very easy to handle and also to clean.
