We are very happy with this coffee maker.  For just the 2 of us, the single brew is perfect.  We love that we can adjust the water to our taste and also choose either regular or bold brew.  The full-size side is perfect for the family gatherings, etc., where it makes more sense to fix a regular pot of coffee.  Love that you can also set the strength of the brew and program that side.  I also feel that it's more sanitary as it doesn't store water in an inside reservoir that you cannot empty.   Keurig be gone!
