Posted Sep 6, 2007 - This is an excellent machine! You simply place a single plastic cup in the brewer, hit the size and in moments you have your coffee! You can even set the temperature to your liking. No messy filters, grounds, and messy pots. It simply brews it directly into whatever you want, and in a very short amount of time. While the machine is working, it pumps water from the tank into the heating chamber. It must utilize some type of diaphragm pump because it makes a bit of noise, but this is no problem. Excellent Machine! I highly reccommend.
