CASABREWS Portable Coffee Maker, 2 in 1 Small Travel Coffee Machine for K Cup Pod or Ground Coffee, Quick Coffee Press Kit with Stainless Steel Coffee Cup, Cup Lid, Straw and Storage Bag

Great product
While I don’t usually use k-cups due to their cost, this was an intriguing product. It utilizes the advantages of k-cups (especially their ease of use and better flavor over typical ground coffee) without requiring an expensive machine. It does require some way of heating water, and best is a way to heat water to an appropriate temperature, like 195 degrees. If you have a kettle and want to use it to make coffee, at home or on the road, this is a great option. It comes in a very nice travel bag, and can store up to three k-cups within the plunger; even more if you get the k-cups that don’t have the full plastic bin. But then you don’t get the advantage of less oxidation of the grounds. I definitely recommend this product for camping or home use.

Easy and fun to use and clean my own ground and k cups
Its nice for the option of occasional k-cup. Good product. Good quality on the components. Excellent reusable cup to use for my own grounds.I got feedback to grind more course and have tried both my own ground coffee and kcups. My grinder range is 1-6, so I have been using grind size 5 for this brewer and cold brew.For coffee, I have found pressing down slightly and pausing 30 seconds for coffee to bloom like I would in a pour over, then repeating that a couple more times makes a pretty good version. I love how quick and accessible this makes making coffee without using a machine. The most recent coffee I made, I used one tablespoon in the reusable cup with ten ounces of water. Normally it holds two tablespoons.I tried mulled spices as a tea and again used one tablespoon in the reusable cup. I tried a different method to extract by pushing down a little until it wet the grounds, then let it extract for four minutes like I would with tea, and then slowly pushed the water through to finish. I liked the results. Mulled spices were gentle coming through and made a nice tea this way with a hint of spice. Next time, I would use hot water from the tea kettle instead of thermos.I have been using a thermos after I heat water for the second or third cup.It fits well in a paper coffee cup and other types of cups besides the provided stainless cup.Its fun to drink out of the cup and I have put the cup and straw (without the lid) in the dishwasher. All the other parts with gaskets, I rinse off and hang dry. I like how it is easy to reapply the syringe to clean out remaining water as part of the cleaning process. I have been using it daily so it hasn’t made it back to store in cupboard yet. Its getting quicker as I go just to rinse out the parts.The coffee taste from fresh ground I will continue to use this method along with cold brew.I much prefer this along with cold brew to other methods for making quick hot coffee. The taste of the coffee is better from fresh ground. I have made decaf k-cups, my own ground coffee, and just now mulled spices as a tea.Very accessible to use and clean, easy, and fun.

Love this manual k-cup coffee maker!
I used this several times and it’s absolutely amazing and easy to use. Cleans well and compact for travel use or for use in a facility where coffee machine was not available.I strongly recommend!!

Excellent quality and performance
I caught a sale when I grabbed up this item as a back up to power outage for coffee.I went back immediately to by another for my daughter only to have lost the sale price but I got another one anyway because people…It’s very nice. It’s proven to be surprisingly handy when my son was in the ICU for weeks.A thermos of hot water and a kpod and you are going to be sooo happy. I’m not one to recommend much but if your a k pod user this my friend is a must have. I promise you won’t regret spending full price because even then it’s a total “steal “
