There are 2 coffee drinkers my house. One of us drinks 1 cup a day and the other one drinks 3 or 4. So this coffee maker is the perfect size. It is very cost effective because you can brew it exactly to your liking. We don’t like strong  coffee so we can put in the amount that tastes best for us. And it takes up only a little counter space. Best of all it is easy to use! Mr. Coffee rocks! They know how to brew it best.
