This coffee maker allows me the flexibility to use a k-cup or a traditional way of brewing coffee. I am very satisfied with it, since generally my wife and I don't drink coffee at the same time.
Wanted a small 1 cup pot for occasional use to make a different kind of coffee for a guest (decaf vs regular). The k-cup works but using ground coffee doesn't work well- tried several times and always grinds in the cup after brewing.
Good
