The GT 300 is a great machine. I wanted a coffee maker that would make one cup of coffee for when I am in a rush to get to work and don't get going fast enough. :) It makes enough to go in my travel mug and it's off to work I go. With my GOURMET coffee. What could be better? Not a whole lot, it makes my coffee fast and hot. I also have the extra pod accessory so I can add my own coffee. I love this coffee maker, even more than my 12 cup. It makes NO MESS! It is a neat little machine. I hope you like it as much as I do.
