This coffee maker is a great way to start my morning. With the convenience of choosing between a single cup, travel cup, or full carafe, it makes for an easy start for hectic mornings. This is easy to use and is small enough to not take up a lot of counter top space. This machine comes with a permanent filter, but will also use cone and basket filters if needed. This machine is an economical purchase compared to the Keurig machines. It's straightforward and brews a good cup of coffee. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
