I LOVE this little thing, and it is TINY. It is sooo convenient, I originally bought this mini-coffee maker for my camper van, as space is at a premium in the camper, but I am currently in a hotel room, and I am using it to make fresh coffee (and also tea). It is so small that is takes up virtually no space in my travel bag, and it even comes with a small travel pouch to store it. I like the fact that it takes about 6 minutes to make a cup of coffee: the hot water gently and slowly streams over the ground coffee extracting a richer taste -- this reminds me of a pour over technique, but easier, because the machine does it automatically. I'm even thinking of buying another one, just to keep as a backup, because I like this amazing little thing so much.
