So my husband and I are completely different when it comes to coffee.   He will go thru a pot a day of the strongest coffee you can make I on the other hand maybe a cup every couple of days of cream and sugar with a little bit of coffee.  This is perfect for us.  Before we got this system we had a Congleton brew machine and it was so expensive because my husband would go thru so many of the cups for that machine but now he can make his pot and I can just use the single serve function when I want one.  It was easy to use and brews quite fast especially his full pot or atleast I think it's pretty fast.
