Possible Alternatives

If you prefer a coffee machine producing more than one cup, you can pick out a coffee maker that brews for a carafe or pot instead. This will give you piping hot coffee from freshly roasted and ground coffee beans or instant pods good for many coffee drinkers in your family since you do not have to wait for it to brew another cup for a friend or another family member in the morning.
Although Mixpresso K-Cup Coffee Maker is great for an early morning rush because of its automatic shut-off feature, it can be a bother sometimes if you forget your coffee. Your coffee can go cold and you would have to wait and reheat again.
