This is a really nice single serve coffee maker. It does not take any kind of pods you have to use actual coffee grounds but it's very easy to use. It's fun that it has a blender attached so if you want to blend your iced coffee and make a icy drink you can easily. We have enjoyed doing that and they turn out pretty good when we add almond milk and a little sweetener. I think this coffee maker is good for anyone in college or even an office or someone who just wants to make coffee easily. It does take up a little space with the blender attached so that's something to be considered but the blender is a usable and valuable part of this.
