It is the perfect coffee maker for me and my family.  Brew just a cup, just hot water or a carafe of coffee (unbreakable-love)  The only downside is hard to have under counter due to where the water reservoir is located. The stainless carafe is a bit tricky to remove the lid and you cannot fill the reservoir from the carafe as the water won't empty well from the carafe.  Getting used to working around these minor problems though and loving my new coffee maker. Great price point also.
