Better than instant coffee but still lacks extraction. However, I did not try using Kcup pods. The problem is with the coffee grounds basket. I would suggest for future models to simply scrap the coffee grounds basket and replace it with a reusable Kcup pod (preferably in stainless) that has pre-drilled enter and exit holes that woul fit in the Kcup basket. This will surely create good extraction without having to resort to polluting plastic Kcups.

Works exactly as it should. Good size, price, and flexibility.
I’ve owned it for more than a year now. I’ve never had any weird tastes or excessive dripping. It’s extremely easy to use, is a nice, small size, works with regular coffee grounds and KCups, and is adjustable for 2 sizes of mugs. It has 2 settings for regular and bold brewing, but I’ve only ever use it on the bold setting. I’ve had no issues with it whatsoever and would buy another.

By: They were super cute! They shrank I little after washing a few times but still fit. If you have a little boy they are perfect outfits.

It works great!
We use our coffee maker multiple times a weeks. It works very well and easy to use. Itâs easy to keep clean and makes up a cup of coffee pretty fast and the temperature of the coffee is alway hot. Itâs great for someone that likes to uses grounds or cups since itâs adjustable.

Makes coffee, consistent taste.
Seems to work well. Only issue it that the BOLD and Normal switches on the side seem to be misaligned. You have to press on the upper left part of the switch to get them to activate. If you press directly on the switch, nothing happens. Believe the circuit board under the switch covers is not properly aligned.

Nothing to Not Like!
I bought this coffee maker because there were no reviews less than 4 on the website. I quickly found out why. It just works. Control the strength of the brew with the amount of water you use. There is no reservoir, so you have to add water every time you use it. The water is always fresh. A little water stays behind in the heater, but if you use it a lot (2-3 cups/day) the water will never get stale. If you are going to leave it alone for awhile, just unplug it and turn it upside to drain (over a towel or tray). The brew basket holds two tablespoons of ground coffee – plenty for an 8-10 oz cup. I haven’t had any problems with any of the brands of pods I have tried. The feed needle and brew baskets ae easily removed for cleaning or replacement. You do have to remember to put a cup under the basket or you will have a mess – but’s that’s a user problem.I liked it so well I gave away my old Cuisinart drip brewer!Update – The only problem I have found after using it to make 3 cups of coffee per day for six months, the lettering on the power buttons is starting to fade where I touch them.

So Far, So Good (Updateâ¦lasted less than 2 months)
Update: less than 2 months of use and it failed. Suspect water pumping mechanism. Takes 3-5 cycles just to produce 10-12 ounce cup of coffee. Guess Iâm back in the market for another new one.Purchased to replace my second “K Brand” maker that failed at about a year old. Hope this one holds up better. It is a bit unique. The water reservoir is one cup of Joe at a time. No bulk holding tank, ok not terrible, just not what I am accustomed to having. The brew time is longer than the major brand. It takes an honest couple minutes to brew. If it holds up the nuances are no big deal.Pros out of the box: It includes the basket to use your own grounds, rather than being another purchase. You may also use the cup style. Quick and easy set up, it’s pretty much plug and play.Overall I like it. Took a few days to “get use to”. If it holds up I’ll be very happy with it. Time will tell. Price was right.

Compact, fast, and easy to clean
I’ve had an earlier model of this brewer at home for years now and we use it daily. Bought this for our small office after our mini “K” brewer quit working properly. This one is a little wider than the “K” we had but not by much. Works great for all kinds of K-compatible pods and SO much easier to clean than the “K” (or any other pod brewer). A few people use the filter cup for grounds, too, and they tell me their coffee tastes richer than when they put the grounds in a little faux-pod. It is a bit noisy, but pretty quick.

Canât chose a fixed oz brew
Pros:It comes with a filter so you can use any ground coffee as thatâs not K pods.It heats well.Compact doesnât take too much space in kitchen.The quality of the coffee brewed is pretty good for the value of money.Itâs not noise so donât need to worry about waking up anyone in the morning.Cons:You canât choose a specific amount of ozâs it keeps going until the whole water tank is empty.The water tank is too small, only fits 14 oz.When trying to clean with only running down water without coffee in the basket it doesnât clean well I still need to wipe down the basket compartment.To clean the water tank there is screw that needs to be removed every time you want to clean it.

Exceeded expectations
I grind my own beans and have pour-over coffee every morning. I bought this specifically for my Mom when she visits so she can have quick-and-easy coffee when she wakes up before me.I’m not exactly a coffee snob, but I do really enjoy really good coffee and this little coffee maker can make some really good coffee if you know a bit about what you’re doing. As always with really good cup-of-joe, you have to have really good ingredients: Freshly ground from quality beans with quality water. With those three things, you can have some really good cups out of this brewer.Pros:- It’s really slim. Barely takes up any counter space.- With the right stuff, you can make really good coffee.- It’s super easy to use. Load up coffee, pour in water, press a button.- It’s easy enough to clean. Rinsing the little basket isn’t terrifically difficult.- It’s not a slow brewer. It’s not particularly fast, but is reasonable.- Flexibility with the “cups” are a plus.Cons:- There’s not a great way to use paper filters, which is my preferred filter method. I grind my beans a little courser with the provided mesh filter basket.- The “Bold” option simply burns your coffee. If you like that burnt flavor, then this will be a Pro for you.- It’s kind of loud when it starts up heating the water. Louder than most single serving brewers that I’m familiar with.At the end of the day, I wanted something that won’t take up much space (for when my Mom isn’t visiting) and is an easy/competent brewer. This fits the bill nearly perfectly. Couldn’t be happier.
