A brewing Return!
If you dislike the pain and the inconvenience (and the restocking fees) that the Returns process entails, then this is not a product that you want to buy. The odds are that many of this products’ numerous shortcomings are likely to provide you a compelling reason to reject it…eventually. We got this for its purported versatility with processing both the Nespresso Original capsules and the K-cups. Alas, the issues with the Nespresso capsules kept surfacing to the point that 30 days later we stopped making excuses on its behalf and decided to make the return.Now, there are reviews that point to these several shortcomings, but we decided to overlook it hoping that they were one-off manufacturing issues. However, from the flimsy plastic to the creaky, jerky, clumsy closing lid to the incessant and prolonged drip that continues a good 15-20 seconds after the brew, to the annoying splatter, to the noises that grew more and more disconcerting – this was as documented by others, a manufacturing nightmare. But, the final straw was the repeated failures in puncturing the nespresso capsules every now and then. It would crumple up the capsule and beep an error. So, finally after one too many wasted capsules and a substandard Nespresso brew, we bit the bullet and re-packaged it and shipped it back. A 15% or $30~ hit will be worth all the savings in frustration that we would have continued to encounter. The brand whose other products the household has enjoyed over the years has now a tarnished reputation that has made us wary of any future products that we may consider. I would imagine that there are more people that keep it than return it, just that the odds are not worth it. And if I could save just a few from gambling that their piece would work, then it would be worth the time to write this up!And the reason for Amazon tagging this as a “highly returned item” is not because of people not reading the product specs but because those specs don’t quite pan out as described.

Most used coffee machine we ever had !!
I dont typically write reviews, but this machine is AMAZING !Bought as a gift for the missus who was spending in her opinion too much money every morning at Starbucks, but also does not have the time (or patience) to make an espresso, or pot of coffee.So i got her this as it makes both the Kurig and Nespresso style pods…Well its been in use every day for the last 6 months by us all.And while we have Kurig pods, we just stick with the Nespresso style as they are SO MUCH tastier !! :DCoffee is amazing, and as hot as any similar machine (not quite as hot as a proper espresso machine) but thats par the course.The bold setting does make it hotter, but havent really noticed any other difference.Takes seconds to make a coffee or two. Press the on button to jump start the initial (few seconds) warm up while you select your pod for the morning ;)Have yet to find a nespreso pod that really allows you to use the 6oz setting, but so far all taste amazing with 4oz. just double up if you want more :)Remember to keep clean. All steam making devices are prone to water mold if left un cleaned. I spray down once a month with surface cleaner, and run a full cycle for both pod styles.Water tank is large enough you dont have to fill too often, and is SUPER easy to refill.Wish the Nespresso pods eject tray was visible to see when its full, as pods can get stuck when its too full and makes the tray jam for a bit when trying to empty it.It does drip a little when done, this varies from cup to cup. Just let it happen and wash the lower tray when needed….what else… really the faults are nit-picking.the pros are great, easy coffee.Really didnt want to like this as much as i do. Nice to be able to make each pod style, for the same price as a nespresso machine.if your on the fence just buy it and enjoy 😀

La verdad que muy buena cafetera, una vez que seleccionas el tamaño de tu taza, te olvidas de detenerla para que no se tire el café

I received this coffee maker as a gift for my birthday in June of last year. It worked wonderfully for about 300 cups of coffee. When the machine starting flashing that it was time to be cleaned, I followed the instructions to the letter. There was absolutely no build up in the machine, the citric acid and water mix wasn’t even the slightest bit cloudy. After the machine was “cleaned”, it would no longer function on the k-cup side. The water seemed to bypass the k-cup so all I got was hot water. I called support thinking that maybe the machine was stuck in cleaning mode and that I needed to press some sequence of buttons to make it work. They told me that the machine must still be dirty and to clean the needles and run another batch of citric acid and water through the machine. Again I followed the instructions and the machine still did not work. I looked to the internet for help but no luck. Nothing anyone suggested fixed the machine. At this point I called the company back. They sent me a replacement. For about 3 months or 300 cups, the machine functioned perfectly. When it came time for a cleaning, the whole process repeated. Again I called the company. They replaced the machine again. I suggested that they should take the machines back as there was definately a manufacturer defect. I thought they might be interested in looking at their failed product so they could do better in the future. They were not interested. 300 cups later, here I am again in the same situation. Only now my warranty has run out.I have purchased a different brand of coffee maker now. In case Instant Pot is interested, my husband took the last machine apart (I knew it wouldn’t be covered as I was about 2 weeks past my warranty…the company made that quite clear) and he found the problem. Now all of these machines are headed to our local landfill…what a waste. This company should be ashamed for making such garbage.
