Perfect fit!
I love my Peetâs coffee and I carry a Travel Keurig usually. This is the alternative! I made a perfect cup of my K-Cup Major Dickasons without need for electricity just a hot kettle water! Small footprint for travel. Easy to use. Exactly what I wanted for my upcoming trip to Paris!

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 peopleâ¦Itâs very nice. Itâs 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. Iâm not one to recommend much but if your a k pod user this my friend is a must have. I promise you wonât regret spending full price because even then itâs a total âsteal â

Weaker coffee, but works
There are a lot of pieces to keep track of and to clean to make this work, so it is definitely appreciated that a bag is included to keep everything together.A way to heat your own coffee is still necessary, which does leave me wondering if I should have just found a way to make instant coffee for our camping trip, but this does work.Maybe I was pushing too quickly because my coffee didn’t give me the same boost that it normally did, making me think I rushed it through the process. After looking back over the instructions, it does say to “push slowly” and I may not have gone slow enough. Maybe I should have sent it back through again.It’s not the perfect solution, but it definitely works and I’m happy with it.

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.

Makes a great Cuppo Joe!
Works well. Difficult to push down but this is good because it allows for the water to go through all the grounds. Cleans easily. Love the storage bag. Got it for camping. Weâre just 2 people so we can wait ti make another cup. Love that you can use the included cup cover it and still keep it warm.

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.
