Perfect size for 1 person. Easy to use, keeps coffee piping hot, doesn’t drip after pouring and easy clean-up. If you are not careful, and fill to the bottom of the pour spout, the expanding grounds will push coffee up and out of the spout. This can be avoided by not fully seating the lid while steeping. Not a defect, just a technique worth keeping in mind. I like it well enough to buy another one to leave at my kid’s house.
