This is a great little coffee maker for a small kitchen, you can use a variety of different pods and the removable drip tray makes clean up easy.It doesn’t take long to heat water and is tall enough to support larger mugs.My only complaint is that the outside feels very cheap, this is a standing item so it’s unlikely to fail but it doesn’t look good for an item that is supposed to be on your counter all the time. However it works well!

This is one of the smallest units I have seen so far and it takes very little space while still having a decent sized water storage on the back. Cold and Hot is a nice touch for some people, but we are a hot only household so that is not needed. Travel mugs a pretty popular in my house also, and this is not quite tall enough for some of ours, which is not a big deal because it does work for about 80% of the ones we have.One of the things I thought I would like most about this unit it is the ability to use ground coffee. I feel a bit guilty using the prefilled pods, not to mention they can be costly. So I guess this was more of a need than want, and it seems to come up short here. The coffee is either going through the filter to quickly to pick up the flavor or its not hitting the coffee evenly, because it always seems weak. I have tried store bought ground and ground my own (coarse and fine) and I still find the flavor is not the same as even my drip machine when making it by the pot. I would say its 80% of what I want, not a deal breaker for most, but for me it somewhat is because I don’t want to compromise on coffee flavor, its my fifth love in live (just slight behind wife/kids/dog).The unit itself is very quick, the coffee is hot, and for some reason it seems like the coffee pods from the store are stronger (?!?!) So I recommend this if your not going mostly for fill your own pods, need counter space, or just want a great guest machine.

This is a review for the SHARDOR Single Serve Coffee Maker 2.0. This coffee maker is awesome if you have limited counter space. I donât use the pods but grind my own beans and use the filter. The biggest upside to this coffee machine is the great tasting coffee that it makes. This machine seems to extract more coffee from the same amount of grounds. I am replacing a higher end single serve machine and the SHARDOR brews stronger. It has a bold setting that makes it brew a bit stronger.When brewing hot coffee, it brews at a perfect temperature. This is a few degrees hotter than my old machine, but not unreasonably hot.Although it brews awesome coffee, it is priced as a budget coffee maker and has a few missing features that some of the more expensive machines would have.It can brew 6, 8, 10, 12 or 14oz cups. The downside is that my standard travel mug does not fit, even when I remove the base platform. It is so close to fitting, but it just wont fit. I need to brew into a mug and then pour it into the travel mug.The water tank has a min fill level but does not have a low-level water sensor. It allows you to brew, even if there isnât enough water. It does detect when the tank is completely empty and shuts down, but that cannot be good for the machine. Because the tank is on the back of the machine, it isnât apparent when the level is low. It is something I will need to get used to checking. On the upside, the machine is small and light and easy to twist around to view or remove the water tank.The cord stores inside when not in use, but it is somewhat short 24â. It is the perfect length for where I use my machine but keep that in mind if yours is far away from an outlet.This is so close to 5 stars for me, because of the compact size and awesome taste. I had to doc one star for the lack of low water sensor.

We got this coffee maker to replace another single serve machine that we’ve been using for the last couple of years. That one had adapters that made it compatible both with Keurig and Nespresso systems, but in the end we never used the Nespresso pods and the adapters were a pain to use and we had a stash of fancy K-cups that didn’t fit into them.The Shardor machine seems to be very similar to other offerings that are available on Amazon and at just below $80 we found it a good value.The button user interface is super simple to use, although a quick read through the manual is not a bad idea. The coffee maker can be set to one of 5 different brew sizes and besides K-cups it also comes with an adapter for using regular ground coffee.So far this machine accepted every single type of K-cup we had and the adapter is much simpler to clean than on our previous machine. We generally prefer the single serve cups for the simplicity and the variety of offered flavours, but the ground coffee adapter is a nice option to have.Happy with this choice – maybe not a super fancy machine, but works well and looks nice on our counter without taking much space.One con – the water tank is on the back and not the easiest to access – depending where you put this coffee maker, it might be easier to refill the water in that spot instead of removing the whole water tank. We just fill it up from our Brita filter.

Works perfect
This coffee pot makes a great cup of coffee really fast! It holds enough water to not have to refill very often! Works better than any coffee pot I have tried before! Hopefully it last a long time. I love it so far

Not tested.
While you can’t beat this little unit and almost every way, it has not been electrical tested by underwriter Laboratories!I’m sure this is why the instructions tell you to unplug it after every use.That being said, it is a nice little unit if you are willing to stand there while using it and unplug it after each use.Watch me make a cup of coffee in the video using a pod. About 5 minutes, but some of that time is spent explaining things.It’s actually a pretty fast brew.A couple things I didn’t mention in the video?In addition to making coffee with a pod or grounds, this makes iced coffee. I believe it can also make tea using a tea bag, but I’m not 100% sure on that, but I see no reason why it wouldn’t.I don’t have a lot of shelf space in this one bedroom apartment, so the small footprint is a big deal for me.They tell you to clean it before using it, which is simply a matter of running three cups of water through it without any coffee or tea. Bingo bingo Bongo.I don’t see any leaks, and the cleaning was easy. The design seems to be perfect as is the functionality. The instructions are very easy to understand.If I can figure this unit out quickly after only skimming through the directions? Anyone can.

Works well
Itâs pretty light weight but makes a good cup of coffee. It has so many optionsâ¦â¦I use kcups but it will take ground coffee and makes ice coffee.There are different settings for brew strength and cup size. I am happy with it so far.

Easy not so HOT orStrong.
Just got it yesterday very excited. Small footprint. Lots of water space for tank! Can make a cup fresh and walk away not leaving giant pot of coffee still brewing. Thatâs good. Now, Iâd love to see a hotter coffee come out out of it, and Checking to see how strong I can make a cup. I put it on strong setting filled the ground coffee, but still didnât impress with strong. Will try tomorrow!
