I have 4 rooms. Two with private entrances to the rooms. Those private rooms have the coffee makers since they are big rooms and have a counter. I have the 4-cup stainless steel decanters which is great because I don't have to worry about them breaking. I also researched and found some really good organic coffee packets "pods" that that the guests say taste better than motel style pods. Here is their site http://www.thanksgivingcoffee.com/ The other two rooms are smaller and those guests needs to come downstairs for coffee. I have coffee ready at 7am when I am up. Most of the guests though don't want the hassle of making the coffee in their rooms so they end up coming down anyways which is nice but the makers are there if they want them..
