This coffee maker is super easy to both set up and learn to use. That is probably my favorite part about it. I can make multiple different size cups of coffee and have the option to use coffee beans or ground coffee. I really love that I can step up my morning and afternoon coffee by using coffee beans. The machine is simple to keep clean as well. I am often an iced coffee drinker so it is a bonus that I can choose to make my coffee over ice. This has made my morning coffee routine quick and easy and allows me to make just the right amount so that I do not waste any.
