Our family doesn’t drink a lot of coffee, but when we do, we like the versatility of being able to brew what we want when we want to. This machine lets us brew a pot of ground coffee, a single pod cup, or a ground single pod cup. Sometimes I want to try a coffee that I can only get in grounds but I only want one cup at a time, so this is perfect. This is also the perfect work coffee room machine so anyone can have their coffee the way they want it. I will likely take my machine to my office where it will get lots od love and use!
