My mother in law bought this for me for my birthday in July.  As the only coffee drinker in the house (my husband likes the smell of coffee but doesn't drink it), in the morning I would either have to drag out my 10 cup Krups coffee maker and brew a whole pot just for me, or use (gag!!) instant coffee.  She also gave me three varieties of the coffee pods to use, as she had bought them for her Gevalia coffee maker but found she couldn't use them.  I have to say this makes the best coffee at home, bar none!  I use the single pods for an 8 ounce cup, since I like my coffee a little weaker than some do, or the 2 pod holder for the cappuccino coffee (MMMM, better than Starbucks!).  It's become a bit of a star at our house, since it heats up water in only 90 seconds and always makes a perfect cup of coffee.  I even use it to heat up water for my daughter's hot cocoa (minus the coffee pod) and she loves getting "coffee" just like mommy does.  Great for people who only want one or two cups of coffee in the morning and don't like to waste a whole pot.  It's worth the price - you could even bring it to work with you and have your own perfect coffee all day long.  Think of all the money you could save, not having to get Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts coffee daily.
