This is a larger coffee brewer but it works great for the family or for an individual. The features are easy to use and makes making coffee smooth and fast. The single serve has help with making tea for our tea drinker and we get to enjoy coffee at the same time. Easy for a senior citizen to use as my 83 year old mother makes her a coffee in her cup in the morning and throughout the day. This is large and takes up a little more space than a normal coffee pot but we just put it on our bar and it works out well. Packaged very well and pretty much take out and use product.
