Ohhh I thought the little filter was a big pain to clean and it left fine grounds in the cup. I was not pleased with the one I purchased and took it back. The local sources run about 70 cents for the pre-packaged coffee in my area and at even 37 cents (if ordered) my own coffee is cheaper and with groceries going up out of sight each day you go to buy, one must watch corners. Plus I didn't think it developed the coffee flavor as fast as it went thru either so decided I wasn't paying well over a hundred dollars for something I would not like and returned it. They were very nice about taking it back. Hubby doesn't like flavored coffees and the little cups were way to strong for us.
A happy experience, NOT for me.
