Marvelous.  Two coffee makers in one!  Sometimes, I want a single cup of coffee.  I might want another several hours later, but want fresh coffee, not coffee that has been sitting.  Sometimes I have guests that want a different flavor.  This coffee maker allows me to do this.  Sometimes I have guests and need a whole pot of coffee and don’t want to wait for individual cups.  I previously had two coffee makers for this reason.  Now I just need one!  Cuts counter clutter.  I am so excited with this coffee maker!
