Great Addition to the Kitchen

Pros: No mess, no flavor cross-contamination, easy to use

Cons: Cup size-setting automatically resets; wish it had a filter

Where to start with how much our family loves this thing? Kids can have hot chocolate (dark or mild chocolate) or apple cider, and everyone else can opt for one of those, or choose tea or one of the many coffees. The unit warms up quickly, has a time...r for in the morning, and makes a single cup at a time. Best feature for me, a tea drinker: NO coffee taste in the tea like you get from a coffee maker when you try to simply heat up water. Next best feature: no filter or mess to clean. You place a small plastic cup of your beverage choice in the top of the Keurig, hit "brew" and the unit does the rest. When it's done, remove the plastic cup and throw it away.Sometimes I still use my own specialty teas with this and use it to heat up the water--works great for this, too!We bought one for my dad, who lives alone. He loves his one cup of coffee in the morning, then drinks tea the rest of the day. Perfect solution. No clean up. The coffee assortment will please any palate, even my dad's, and he's very picky.We have a Brita filter and use filtered water in it. For ease, I wish it had its own water filter in the unit, but this is a minor issue.Truly, the only drawback we've had with this thing is I had to go buy more mugs because we kept running out. It gets used that much.Our dentist's office even has one in the waiting room, and the ladies there told me it's extremely popular. They love it, too, because of the low maintenance for them as compared to a regular coffee maker.If you drink 5-6 cups of coffee at home every day, the cost may be prohibitive for you, but for the family who loves variety this has been the perfect addition to our kitchen!
