I had a single k cup machine and the FlexBrew took its place and i will say I was a bit hesitant because I really didn’t know how the FlexBrew works and I’m a creature of habit. I love how you can brew a full pot use a K cup or pod. Also that you can use a reg mug or a lg travel mug. I have never had a coffee maker with a timer since I got the FlexBrew and I will never not have this feature again. The only slight downfall is the FlexBrew is a little bulky and takes up a large amount of counter space
