I love the idea of this coffeemaker because sometimes I only have time for one cup and other days I want several, so this allows the option of a single cup or to brew a pot. I was also impressed with the option to choose the cup size on the single brew side. My only complaint is that the smallest cup option is 8 oz and it makes too weak of a coffee. A 6 oz option would be better and make this pot perfect. It’s still a great maker and I would definitely recommend this!
