If you are single, or if your SO isn't a coffee person, do consider this Mr. Coffee machine. It says it makes up to four cups--but coffee manufactures must be using doll house cups. This makes two, 8-ounce cups, just right for two cups in the morning or a pint travel mug. I had a combination drip maker and Keurig machine thinking to cover all coffee making bases. But I rarely used the Keurig side, and instead made one or two cups at a time. So the first thing this machine did was reclaim a bunch of counter space.
I use a burr grinder (burr grinders are a real boost to coffee) and had to use a 7-second grind for one cup, 12-second for two in my old machine. This guy does the same brew with a 5/10-second grind. Dunno why. maybe Mr. Coffee has a better spray pattern, or maybe it's because in the smaller basket the coffee is thicker. No matter, it's about a 10%+ savings.
It's quick. It brews a pot in the same time as it takes to brew two Keurig pods--the Keurig takes that much time to heat water for the second pod.
It's competitively priced. This model comes plain vanilla or with a clock and timer. I don't have the clock model--happily my day doesn't run by a train schedule anymore. But you will see the price compares with any other 4-cup brewer.
Mr Coffee machines consistently rate high in Consumer Reports reviews. My one complaint with this machine is the lid catch. See the picture I uploaded. This wouldn't be an issue except when the lid is snapped shut, it holds like super glue. Kinda overkill, it's not as if this is a steam latte machine. But it takes two hands to open the lid back up--one to hold the bottom and one to pry open the lid.
I used a nail file to file down the two nib things (or I supposed I could have filed down the bar it fastens on to) and problem solved. Maybe it's just my machine.
So there you have it. Always drink your coffee black. Unless you use cow or sugar. Then always drink your coffee with cow. Or sugar.

Simple but small
It’s a cute little coffee maker. I don’t like too many buttons or settings so I like it. A little smaller than I expected but works well for a single person.KayaSimple but small
