I really have been enjoying this coffee maker and I like the versatility it has. I like the fact that I can brew into my regular mug, travel mug, and a carafe. It will do a pour over but I have not tried that as I typically just brew the regular way. The lids is removable from the carafe which makes it easy to clean and wash. Another nice thing about it was if you don't currently own a travel mug, it came with one so you can brew in it and have coffee on the go and save money from going to the coffee shops in the morning while taking your own. It's stainless steel and keeps the coffee warm for a good bit of time.  The carafe hold around 5 cups but to me it's only between 3 and 4 with the size cup I use. Doesn't take up much space on my counter which is good because I don't have much free space. I definitely would recommend this to others who like brewing options. It's perfect for the on the go person for sure. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
