I love this coffee maker because of how many options there are. The most basic part is the full pot of coffee which turns out great everytime, and functions as well as any other coffee part. On the single side is where all the options come in. First you can either use K cups or it comes with its own style that you can fill up with your own coffee. Talk about a money saver. You can pick from so many size cups too. I normally do 10 oz size cups on bold. They turn out perfect. There is a bottom part that you can remove so there is an ability to brew in a travel mug. It has a super easy to use lay out, I like how it lights up and tells time, and the reservoir in the back holds alot of water. So far I have no complaints, and I love the coffee pot!
