I bought this for my wife and she loves it. It doesn't take up much counter space,it's easy to use and clean too. Plus it makes a good cup of coffee in very little time. The only complaint she has is what they consider a cup of coffee. Who drinks a 5 ounce coffee? It really only makes 2 mugs. My younger son has adopted it too. It saves him time and money because now he makes in own coffee in the morning and doesn't have to stop on the way to school or work and buy some expensive coffee from some shop.
