It is a little embarrassing to say that I really reviewed all units on the market today. I was looking for something that produced a great single serve and a pot of coffee. Other units got such bad reviews or had some major drawback like no timer that I kept coming back to this coffee maker as my choice. Well, I bought it and I'm so happy with the decision. Some single cups use only K-cup and I wanted a pod style to reduce waste. 

Pros: Easy to use and clean
