This is a cute little coffee maker.. It is small but makes a great coffee.  I like that you can use a travel mug under it and it is no mess...I like that you only make a certain amount of coffee because I do not drink old coffee( do not like to microwave coffee).  I like it fresh everytime. You can make 1 cup at a time and it does not take that long.  The unit itself is small enough to keep on counter without cluttering it up [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
