Summary: this would be great for someone who lives in a small space or not much counter space but there are other Keurig machines that make stronger coffee.

Pros: the size is very convenient and looks very nice in my studio apartment.  There are almost never coffee dripping after it finishes its brew and so it stays fairly clean for a long period of time. It is fairly fast in making coffee in comparison to a carafe brewer.  The buttons on the machine are well designed and feel nice when using.

Cons: sadly and probably most importantly this machine does not make very strong coffee, even in comparing to other keurig machines.  I own the duo plus and there is no comparison.  Coffee tastes somewhat sour whether its pods or local coffee (yes i cleaned the machine out before using). It also asks to add water even though there is a fair amount of water still left in the tank.
