I guess this is really a machine for the office, or for caterers, but after having to replace our home coffee machine several times within a relatively short period, we decided to invest big time, and it really was worth it. It comes with two jugs which pour better than any other we've had, and it's easy to get replacements for them. It's really easy to clean, really simple to use, and it makes a great cup of coffee. And, of course, if you suddenly find yourself with a house full of people, you can have two pots on the go at once!
