I had a previous model of this and used it until I wore it out. I was so glad I was able to find another because it makes a great cup of coffee very quickly. Pods can be pricey, but if you only want a cup of coffee in the long run it saves money from all the wasted pots. It's very easy to use and easy to clean. It presses the pods much better than the Melitta One to One and makes a slightly better cup of coffee.
