We love this brewer. The best benefit is a fresh, just-brewed cup of coffee every time. The k-cups are more expensive than buying bulk coffee but we were throwing away partially brewed pots of coffee every day with our old brewer. Plus, the savings in time not having to clean the carafe and dump the filter of grounds and then cleaning that is well worth it. Also, you can purchase a reusable filter for it if you want to continue to use non-kcup coffee. Believe me, it is still WAY less expensive than what you pay in the popular coffee houses and the coffee is just as good, or better.
It won’t accommodate a tall cup but it is simple to brew into a glass measuring cup and then pour that into your tall cup or travel mug.
Helpful tip: We did have a clogging problem at first. The manual doesn’t tell you that there is a “top needle” that can get clogged. Just remove the gasket and take a straightened paper clip to unclog it. If you use your own coffee, use a coarser grind to avoid that problem. HOWEVER, we were leaving the k-cup closed up in there and the grounds were getting cold and stayed stuck in the needle. We found that if you remove the k-cup right after brewing, it doesn’t get clogged EVER. Have not had it happen since we discovered that. By the way, Keurig’s customer/technical service is absolutely top notch! They stand behind their product and more than make up for any inconvenience you may have experienced.
For those of you who are confused about the amount of water to pour in, we just take the cup we are brewing it in, fill it with water and pour it in. We never worry about seeing where the water level is.

This unit is vrey easy to use. First the new water tray has level indicators that allow you to control the amount of water per cup. Some of the k-cups work better with less or more water. This unit allows you to put as much as 10 oz of water per brew. The unit’s display is very to understand and let you know what step is next. The only thing is reminding users to let the tank empty compleatly before closing the top on the k-cup. This unit has been very good on vacations, as it allows you to have your morning coffee that you prefer. There is a tote bag available that holds the brewer and your k-cups in one easy to cary unit. Be sure to shop around, as prices can vary greatly.
