Some reviews mention difficulty with telling the difference between a single and double brew setting. I agree with other reviewers who said just pay attention to the graphics on the machine and you'll figure it out. Mainly I wanted to share a great source for coffee pods I found that work great in this machine. I was using loose ground coffee but sometimes emptying and rinsing can be messy. Through Green Tree Coffee you can get single serve pods that fit perfectly in this machine. My husband likes one but I use two as I like it a little stronger. They are relatively inexpensive considering they are individually wrapped. Shipping is fast and economical and with each order they send me a coupon for % off my next order. I love this coffee maker and these coffee pods make it an even better functioning unit.
