What Owners Report:
- “I love this coffee maker. 99% of the time, I am the only one drinking coffee here at home, so the single brew option is perfect. I had a Keurig and a Nespresso, but can't handle the taste of the k-cups or the pods, so having a single serve REAL brew option is great. I can still grind and use my own beans, but no washing up a carafe, just the little single side filter. But, I also need the large carafe for company and when our kids come to stay. No more putting the small one away, taking the large one out, etc. This is the best of both worlds and so convenient. The "bold" Button is great too...takes a little longer, but makes a nice bold cup of coffee. The only thing to be aware of, is if you brew the single side into a shorter mug rather than a tall tumbler, you will get a lot of splatter on the counter and coffee pot, but it's easy to wipe away if you do it while it's fresh, so no complaints here.” — audone (Amazon)
- “This is a great coffee pot. I love the dual action. You can have hot water for teas as well as a single pour coffee or tea. Very easy to use. Comes with reusable filters. That sold me.” — Yogi maccaba (Amazon)
- “I bought this coffee maker mainly for the single-serve feature, and I’m so glad I did! I used to go through tons of K-Cups, which added up quickly, but now I can just use my own ground coffee for one cup at a time—huge money saver! It’s super easy to use, and I love having the option to brew a full pot when we have guests or on busy mornings. The design looks great on the counter too. Overall, it’s been a perfect fit for our kitchen and our coffee habits!” — Liz (Amazon)
