I love that this coffee maker is small and compact as I don’t have much counter space in my kitchen and this allows me the extra room and I can still get 5 cups out of each pot! This is plenty for myself to drink throughout the day or for when I have guests over. My in-laws are from Costa Rica and practically live on coffee, so this makes enough for them when they visit. The on/off switch makes brewing coffee simple and easy. I can load up the water and coffee grounds before bed and when I wake up all I have to do is flip the switch!
