This may not be a Krups or a Cuisinart or any other designer brand name which is why, in my snobbishness, I was hesitant to try it out.  But, after reading the reviews, I thought 'why not'.  The price was better than the others, it had many of the same features, and to boot, I didn't have to spend hundreds of dollars on a K-cup machine if I wanted single-cup brewing function.  Besides, all the other higher-end brands I've tried were just ok (coffee didn't get hot enough, carafe dripped, etc.), so why not try a non-designer one
  
Well, I'm glad to report that I am happy I did.  Coffee is hot, the carafe doesn't drip, it's easy to use, and I get single-cup brewing, too.  The only drawback is that if you are making a carafe, and want to pour a cup before it's completely done, it doesn't have a pause function. 

You won't be disappointed with this machine.  It goes to show not everything is in a name.
