NO NEED FOR EXPENSIVE PODS. GREAT FOR A QUICK AFTERNOON CUP W/OUT THE BIG POTFUL/ GOOD IDEA FOR A TRAVEL MUG, TOO. EASY CLEANUP/

I had one of these for years and switched over to K-cups. The K-cups are way more costly - so much cheaper to buy the beans and grind them yourself. Even though I could use my own coffee with the K-cups, it seems like I had to use twice as much coffee...

This coffee maker is exactly what I was needing, fast convenient, economical and a good tasting cup of coffee. It is ecology friendly too since you do not need to buy filters and put unnecessary waste on our beautiful earth!

Got two of these for my two older nephews both said it was one of the best gifts they have received.
