This is the second Keurig I've owned. I love the sleek design of the Keurig K-Express Singel Serve too. It fits under my cabinet and doesn't take up too much counter space as my previous one. My wife and I drink coffee every day on the weekdays and we usually use our coffee maker to brew a pot. But, this is great on the weekends when I'm up early and only need to drink a cup or two in the mornings. It still makes a noise like the previous models but, that doesn't bother me. It's quick to make one cup of coffee and it also has the option to make it stronger! When work needs to be done, I prefer a stronger batch and this is a plus! I believe after three servings, it will let you know to refill the water tank. It not holding as much is a good thing because you don't want sitting water for a week. Highly recommend for tiny spaces!
