Small Footprint + Great Value = Buy It
I am happy with my purchase, but let me address other reviews that almost made me not buy this k-cup brewer:1) “Hard to fill up.” This has nothing to do with this k-cup brewer. Try using your coffee mug as a precision water pouring device and you will be sorely disappointed. YES, water DOES go everywhere if you try and aim water out of a coffee mug. The reason is there is not a pouring lip on a coffee mug. Duh. Solution: we keep a Pyrex measuring cup next to the coffee mugs and PROBLEM SOLVED. Fills with water quickly and easily, with no spills.2) Next, I feel like a lot of reviewers were disappointed with the amount of the coffee output. Ten ounces, the amount it brews, is slightly less than a soda can (12 ounces). Pour that amount of liquid in your coffee cup before you order your machine and see if that’ll be enough coffee for you. I included a photo of a full brew in my mug so you can see. It was fine for us, but I can imagine many Starbucks grande and venti drinkers that would be disappointed. FYI–a Starbucks ‘tall’ (SMALL) is 12 OUNCES.3) Bad taste. YES, ours smelled/tasted metallic straight out of the box. After reading all the reviews, when I received my brewer I ran 6 cycles of water through and then brewed the first k-cup. The coffee was bitter and undrinkable. I then read the instructions for “descaling” in the booklet. (Fill with white vinegar and hit start so that it starts brewing, but without a k-cup. When it starts to brew shut OFF the machine and let it sit for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, hit start again so the vinegar is pumped out of the machine. THEN run water through (still no k-cup) for 6-10 times. I did it until I didn’t smell any vinegar). Worked like a charm. Coffee tastes great.If this helped you, please click the “Helpful” button. Thanks! 🙂

Not a great brewer
So, there are three PROs for this brewer:1) It makes your coffee FAST.2) It’s relatively easy to clean.3) It’s very easy to use.Now for the CONs:1) Coffee isn’t the hottest – after 10 minutes in a well-insulated mug it’s already cooled down significantly. I drink my coffee over a 30-minute period, and I usually have to heat it up twice.2) Coffee doesn’t taste good. It’s weak, and there are usually some grounds at the bottom of my cup. I think it brews it TOO fast, so the grounds aren’t given enough time to steep. I’m using the same batch of K-cups from my last brewer (that died), so it’s not the cups themselves.3) Product is cheaply made. The plastic on this brewer is definitely of a much inferior quality to my last brewer (Sboly single-cup brewer, about $15 more than this one). It’s thinner, and just doesn’t feel like a quality product. It weighs *nothing*, like I can dangle it off of my index finger easier than one of my coffee mugs.4) Not much room for a good-sized mug. I can’t use any of my larger mugs in this – the largest that fits is a 12-oz. The platform the mug sits on is really high and the cup vessel is really low, so you’ve got only 5″ for your mug. I usually brew 11 oz. and add creamer, so this is an issue. I brew it in my 12-oz mug, then have to pour it in another to add creamer so it doesn’t overflow the mug when I tip it to drink.5) They give you a rubber drip tray that sits on top of the platform but it’s useless. It’s pretty thick for starters, so I can’t use it with the mug (because the mug won’t fit) and it hardly holds any spill over (my last brewer held up to 6 oz) because it’s pretty much solid with a few grooves.6) It sounds like it’s going to take off from my kitchen counter. It’s pretty…forceful. And I think that’s part of the reason I’m getting grounds in my coffee: it’s trying to blast through so quickly to get you the coffee fast that it’s just not brewing correctly and taking grounds along for the ride.Overall, I’m sorry I bought it as it was a waste of my money. It works, but not well. I’ve got coffee, but I don’t enjoy drinking it. While it fits on my limited counter space, it doesn’t fit most of my mugs. 🙁

Iâve only brewed a couple of cups but this is much smaller than the smallest Keurig & performs well for its price point. Fits in a small space in my RV ð

We do a lot of off road adventures and camping. This little coffee maker is always a hit. It take a bit to warm up but the coffee is always hot. Packs up small and easy to use.

I was tired of my Keurig Elite taking up huge swaths of counter space in the kitchen when it only got used two or three times a day. Enter a month-long search for a smaller model. This one was very small and came with decent reviews.After almost a month of using it, I’m pretty happy with it. I took it through the manual’s recommended washing before first use and haven’t gotten any kind of ‘plastic’ taste from it. It uses the reusable k-cup filters well, and is simple to use. The coffee or tea comes out hot enough for me and tastes as good as any other coffee machine.The downsides: you have to fill the resevoir every time you want a cup, and it uses all the water in it to make that cup. I keep a dedicated measuring cup next to it just for that purpose and it works well – coffee mugs aren’t great at pouring neatly. It also takes around two minutes to heat up the water, so it’s best to start it before you need the coffee. Other than that, I’m happy with it – it definitely takes up less counter space and I still get my coffee without much trouble.

This is a great alternative to the main brand single cup coffee maker. It is sturdy, well designed and makes a great cup of coffee. It is more compact than most machines, therefore, takes up less room on your counter. Still does the job though. Actually, it’s easier than my last machine. One less button to push. Just as fast to brew. The true test will be its longevity. My last main brand machine lasted 2 1/2 years of heavy use (4-5 cups a day). With proper cleaning, I have a feeling this one will equal if not surpass that mark. Oh, should mention too…..it costs half the price!!

I used to own a mini Keurig machine and it just broke after 2 years of use. Didn’t like it. So are I like the simplicity of the Mixpresso machine. Plus, you can dump the water out, unlike the mini Keurig machine.Mixpresso makes a great, hot cup of coffee! Small, compact, light and easy to use.

Great coffeemaker and compact too!
Second Update: who has time to update a review twice? Well I am just relaxing with a cup of coffee made in this brewer which is still working great after almost 3 years of daily use. I am thinking of ordering another one to keep as a spare in case the first one dies but it’s still working like new. I am very pleased with this little machine. So compact and easy to use.Update: Used this coffeemaker every day for almost a year now. It’s compact so we brought it on vacation also. Still EXTREMELY pleased with it. Works perfectly, never malfunctions and brews a great hot cup of coffee. We use Peet’s Major Dickason blend with about 9oz. of water – excellent dark strong euro flavor.Bought this coffeemaker so my wife could make a single cup of coffee in the afternoons or evenings without having to make a larger pot with our regular coffeemaker. Wanted something compact to hide in kitchen cabinet or at least not take up much space on counter top. It does a great job, and she can pick from dozens of types and flavors. Works with any brand Kcup I think (she has used 3 different brands so far). It makes great tasting coffee, quite hot, and you can use any size cup or mug you want. A typical coffee mug holds about 10-12 ounces and is perfect size for this machine. You could easily fit a larger mug up to about 16 ounces. You simply pour a mugful of water into the top of the machine, drop in a Kcup, close the lid, place the mug in the machine and press the start button. The water heats up, the machine pumps it through the Kcup and into your mug, then shuts itself completely off. Total time about 3 minutes. So far very pleased. Hope it keeps working for years.
