I have never owned such a great coffee maker! I love a fresh pot of joe in the morning but sometimes I just want a cup here and there throughout the day or an iced coffee. This machine does it all. It has a separate water reserve so my hot water for tea and oatmeal doesn’t have any coffee grinds in it. I love that I can use my fresh ground coffee or single pods and not have two machines. It has a sleek design that takes up less space than a typical coffee maker! And that frother……can you say specialty drinks! You need this machine!!
