This Mr Coffee 5-cup Programmable machine is great for dorm rooms or apartment dwellers where space is tight, due to its compact size.   It's a simple coffee maker, but with the welcome addition of the programmable feature, which means you can wake up to hot coffee, and streamline your wake-up routine.  How I wish I had had one of these in college.     If you don't need extra bells and whistles, this is a perfectly good machine for one.  I saw some complaints online about the machine not getting enough power.  I haven't experienced that, but I also know there are certain power outlets in my kitchen that have that effect.  Make sure you are using your best power outlet, and definitely don't use this with extension cords.
