This coffee maker is so cute, but at the same time it works really well. My son's apartment only has a small kitchenette and this is perfect for him. It makes just enough for one person and doesn't take up too much space. We really love that it has a reusable filter. It's way more convenient than having to also find somewhere to keep a package of filters when there's not much storage space. I could see this being very convenient for vacations and guest bedrooms.
