This is a great coffee maker with multiple options available to make coffee, I would say two coffee machines in one with two separate water reservoirs. So it gives me the freedom to choose which kind of coffee I want to make each day, k-cup or brew. It saves counter space as two coffee machines are in one. It is designed very thoughtfully, in the k-cup section I could also brew for a single cup instead using k-cups a permanent filter is given in the box. Brewing kettle is really big enough to make coffee for the entire family (for 5 people or more). And of course it is very easy to operate with preset options, with just a touch of buttons I can have my coffee made, just specify the size of the cup and that's it.
