Throw your old machine away!
Wish I would have purchased this sooner! No more wasting coffee with the big machines for just one cup for yourself. Perfect for the single coffee drinker in the house. Takes less than 5 minutes to brew (I timed it). I also have used it for teas and hot chocolate. I love that I don't have to buy filters anymore and the cleanup (if any) is super easy. I also like that there aren't pods that you have to buy either. You can use your regular grounds you are used to. You won't miss your auto-shut off feature. You just get into the habit of flipping the switch to off when you take your cup to drink. It's not any louder than any other coffee maker. The only thing I would recommend is to pour the water into the reservoir using a measuring cup with a spout otherwise you spill water on your counter if you just use the cup. Also, I was having a problem with the machine not brewing all the water I would pour in but I quickly remedied that by running the cleaning cycle that you are supposed to do once a month which is easy to do with vinegar. Problem solved.
