Loved the ease of use. Loved the flexibility to make one pod or an entire pot as well as what size cup you take on the pod side. You can set the timer and wake up to fresh coffee in the morning. Use it as your alarm on the weekend and you won't be disappointed. Brews quickly and quietly without much delay to heat the water. The water reservoir is ample in size for both carafe and pods sides. Coffee stays hot on the carafe burner but not on the pod side. The pod side is adjustable for a mug or a travel sized to go cup. Its very simple to clean up and nothing to disassemble to get it ready for the next day. It does take up a bit of space on the kitchen counter but since you can eliminate 2 appliances I think its worth it.
