I thought the single cup option would be for K-cups, but its awesome that it is for coffee grinds

Nice filter for that, so you use a nice quality coffee ground

The regular "shorter" ones allow for the coffee grinds to get through

how much coffee grinds you put in, if you put too much it will get grinds in your coffee

It took a few tries to get the coffee grinds to cup ratio right, because this brewer seems to make a nice strong cup/pot, but since finding the balance I can honestly say this machine is the right fit for me

Just use it with your coffee ground.

The single brew doesn't always provide the full amount as liquid soaks up in the coffee grinds.

Full pot or one cup works perfect with k cup or coffee grinds.

Just prepare the water and the coffee grinds

The carafe is sturdy, not heavy, but sturdy - I like that
