This maker can be used to brew single cups on one side or a full pot on the other side. Typically, I am the only coffee drinker in my house. Sometimes we have guests. This coffee maker allows me to serve both situations easily.
To use the single serve side, I fill the cup that I'm planning to use with the correct amount of tap water and add it to the single serve side of the maker. This is accessed from the top under a small lid that flips up. This side is designed to only hold enough water for a single serve amount of water. I don't use manufactured pods as I prefer fresh grounds but this maker apparently can handle pods too. I grind my beans or use pre-ground coffee and add that to the slide out tray on the single serve side just above the cup location. There is a metallic mesh screen that holds the grounds on the single serve side and I find that I waste less coffee than when I try to make only 1 or 2 cups in a large pot. The single serve side has a nested set of plastic circles that sits under a tall mug when not needed. These little circular risers can be un-nested and stacked to allow a shorter cup to be closer to the dripping coffee (see photos). This allows the maker to accommodate a variety of sizes of cups. The single serve side takes about 2 minutes to brew. I think the coffee tastes great and I can control the strength of the brew based upon how many grounds I add.
The full carafe side is much like any basic drip-coffee maker. There’s a small reservoir that holds enough water to brew a full pot of coffee. There’s a flip lid and a basket for coffee grounds. You can use paper filters or buy a separate metallic, re-usable mesh filter that fits inside this basket. I like these baskets as it’s less wasteful than using paper filters daily and I don’t have to remember to constantly purchase filters. I’ve used the same mesh filter for over 7 years now. It doesn’t filter as finely as paper filters do and the last sip of coffee contains a small amount of grit / sediment but this seems normal to me now. If someone doesn’t like this idea than I would warn them not to drink the last sip. It’s pretty easy to avoid.
The coffee maker has a very obvious and easy to use manual switch that selects whether you are brewing a full pot or a single serve. Only one side can be used at a time. You simply move the switch to the left or right as the illustrations show to select which side you wish to utilize.
I frequently use the timer feature. Prior to work I have one 16 oz metal travel mug filled, warm and waiting for me when I wake up in the morning.
The display is bright when you touch a button and dims to normal again after about 30 seconds so it doesn’t light up the kitchen at night like a beacon. There is a single bright green LED light that indicates that the timer is set and ready to go. Personally, I like this feature as it is an obvious acknowledgment that the timer is ready to go at the time that I programmed in. Some might find this too bright but it’s hard to imagine it being a nuisance to most people.
Other reviewers have indicated the their carafe broke instantly upon the first use. I’ve used my carafe several times without issues. I also noticed that a new pot is around $10 so if it does break down the road, I can probably replace it easily. Some said that it tastes like plastic, I haven’t experienced this. Some said that it leaks after 3 months – I’ll try to update this review later but so far so good – no leaks. Others say it takes too long to brew. I think it takes about as long to make coffee as every other coffeepot that I have owned and if you set it up the night before, you won’t have to wait for it. It can be ready for you whenever you tell it to be ready. I even read that some people were annoyed that they had to slide the coffee pot out from under a counter in order to add water to the top of the coffee maker. I once added felt pads to the bottom of a coffee maker to make this process easier. Without a dedicated water line and a commercial coffee apparatus, I’m not sure how the manufacturer would avoid this overly burdensome task. You have to add water somehow; that’s how coffee works.
I have not had any negative issues at all with this coffee maker and I’ve been using it daily for over 1 month. It’s easy to use, it’s easy to program and I like that I can make a full pot or single cup depending on my needs. I definitely recommend this unit.

I love the option to brew just one cup of coffee at a time. It is very convenient not having to use the pot for one cup. It may just be because it is new - but the coffee tastes better than from my previos coffe maker. I think the price was more than fair copaired to other products.

オートドリップ
2way機構によりポットに大量に作るか、カップ1杯分に作るか選べます
特筆するのはこの二つの機能くらいであとは普通のコーヒーメーカーと変わりません
コーヒーを煎れるボタンを押すと、水差し部分に入れた水の分量だけ作りますので、入れ過ぎると普通に溢れます、コーヒーの温度自体は熱々なので温いのが苦手な人には良いと思います。
ただ、タイマーでのオートドリップ機能を期待して買った自分からしたらマイナスな商品でした。
海外製品の全般に言える事みたいなのですが、時間というかタイマーが絶対にズレます、しかも分単位ではなく時間単位でズレますので半日ごとに2〜3時間程度の修正が必要です(出来るか!)
朝起きてコーヒーがマグカッブに注がれている、そんな日常を送りたかった…が念願叶わずです…マグカップに注いでくれるタイプのコーヒーメーカーはとてつもなくすくないので期待していただけにショックが大きいです。
This seemed in line with what I was after and the reviews were very positive -- not to mention, the price was right -- so I went for it. I've been using it every day for 2 weeks now and I've been very happy with it.
It does NOT accept typical single-serve pods as a Keurig or similar brewer would, only "pads" which are essentially just individually-packaged grounds wrapped in a filter. This is actually fine, though, since these can be found here and there for about 25 cents each, which is a whole lot cheaper than the Keurig-compatible pods -- although selection is necessarily narrower, so if you're choosy about your coffee that might be a drawback. (Side note: teas are quite easy to find in this form factor and brew very nicely.) But that's where the built-in single-cup mesh filter and carafe side come in. You can use the grounds of your choice to make either single cups or any-size (up to 12 cup) pots -- and you can actually make a *strong* single cup, which is a neat trick that I like very much.
It has a functional auto-brew setting and seems easy enough to clean.
Very happy with my purchase. Highly recommended.
