Easy-peasy great coffee so I ordered another one!
I will not deny that I am a coffee lover, and I will not deny the fact that I want a nice cuppa in my hands within minutes of waking up. We have a single serve Keurig and a single serve Chefman. THIS is my personal coffeemaker of choice, WHY?Even though it makes about the same counter footprint as a drip style 5-cup machine, (I have one of those, too!) it makes amazing coffee. It brews quickly, and fairly quietly, and without a lot of steam escaping, unlike the hissing Chefman. I set it up at night before bed, and hit the button in the morning. Within minutes I have my mug ready to drink. Sometimes I want a second mug, which is no problem. The basket for grounds is sturdy, and is the easiest of all my coffeemakers’ brew baskets to clean. Within a minute, I have the grounds basket clean and ready to brew mug number 2. The grounds basket is large enough so that I don’t have grounds overflowing and getting into my coffee, or into the funnel, a common problem with the Keurig and Chefman. I love how it has the cannister to hold ground coffee close by.I drink my coffee fairly bold. This machine not only has a grounds basket large enough to hold a generous scoop of coffee without the wet grounds overflowing into everything, but also a dual power control for either “Brew Reg” or “Brew Bold.”While I mainly use grounds for my single cup needs, this coffeemaker does a nice job when I do use a pod.Within a week of buying this coffeemaker, I bought a second one to have as a spare, I like it THAT much!

Great little machine
Have had a Keurig for years. I’ve been disenchanted with the flavor intensity of the cup of coffee or tea and – the liquid wasn’t that hot. The Keurig was not even a year old. I also have a French Press when I want “real” fresh coffee – but it takes a little extra time in the mornings and when I’m working – I just want to drink a good cup quickly. Plus, the press makes more than one cup and I have a cup of English Breakfast Tea and then one cup of coffee each morning. I don’t need 2 cups of coffee, only one. . Frustrated, I searched Amazon for the perfect solution. Came across this single serve coffee maker and saw it could make k cups or individual ground coffee. WHAT? Ok, so for $69, I take the plunge. Order Red as it’s super cute against my white and grey marble backsplash/granite countertop. When it arrived I didn’t understand how it worked. Realized unlike the Keurig, which holds a tank of water – you pour in water each time you want a cup of coffee/tea. I thought, crap, I made a mistake, this is going to be a pain. But – I poured it into the reservoir (don’t go past the Max Fill line!), put a K cup in, and closed the lid. Hit Bold Brew (but you can do regular) and – nothing happened. I thought (again) I made a mistake. Then this sound starts happening….scared the bejesus out of me. It’s the water boiling in the machine! When it got to a full boil, it made my cup and it was HOT!!!! It also tasted good too. I was so excited, once I finished the K cup, I used the other attachment to make a cup of coffee with coffee grounds. AMAZiNG. It’s been 3 weeks since I purchased this and I can’t imagine not having this little machine. Each cup I brew is flavorful and hot. It is easy to clean and the water doesn’t get gross as it is never just sitting there not being used. For me, this is the perfect little single serve coffee maker – so many options without sacrificing flavor because you only want one cup. I hope this review helps others who aren’t sure what this little coffee maker is all about.

Great for RV
I looked at this kind of coffee maker for a while before buying this one. My wife and I live in a travel trailer full-time going from New Bern, NC to Palm Springs, CA over about 6 months. I had some pretty specific requirements, that many people also share, but a few specific to using this in an RV.1. Size – This thing looks and sounds like it hardly takes any space on your counter. Not quite. It’s really not that much smaller than a typical coffee pot. Definitely a lot bigger than the K-brand tiny ones. I think the other features this one offers make it little extra size worth it though.2. Flavor – I’m not a person who understands 100 different nuances of coffee. I like coffee, I drink it black and I like it to taste good. This pot hits all my requirements. It makes a decently dark cup of coffee and it does it consistently.3. Brew Amount – A lot of this type of coffee maker have a button you hit to brew one size of cup or another size. Reading reviews of them, the amounts that come out vary a lot, meaning they brew on a timer. That seems stupid to me. This coffee maker has a reservoir you put water in. You hit the button, it brews until it runs out of water. If your favorite coffee cup is 6oz and you want to have a 6oz cup of coffee, you put 6oz of water in and you get a 6oz cup of coffee back. My favorite cups happen to be in the 15-16oz range. The reservoir has a 14 oz display on the side of it so I end up over-filling it. And guess what? It brews until it runs out of water, even if it’s a little too much for the reservoir. Novel concept, I now.4. Power Draw – Being in an RV you have a big plug you hook up when you park. In a house you tend to take for granted that you can just plug shit in and it works. In an RV, you have 30 amps. Period. (at least in my RV. I know, some are 50 amp. Good for you if you have a 50 amp. I don’t and the problem is similar.) Anyway, this coffee maker draws about 9 amps when it’s heating the water up. That’s almost 1/3 of my total. So, when it’s 30 degrees outside and I’m running the electric fireplace, making a cup of coffee and the wife tries to heat something up in the microwave, the surge suppressor kicks off because the three together draw too much power. Anyway, it only take about 2 or 3 minutes to brew a cup, so if you can manage to not use the microwave for 2 or 3 minutes, it’s a non-issue.5. Versatility – You can use K-Cups, some other sort of cup, or use the little basket that lets you use ground coffee. I have never tried and of the cups because, well, I’m cheap and I don’t like all the trash that goes along with the little cups. The basket that comes with this works great. The only thing I’m not super crazy about is cleaning it.6. Cleaning – Since I use the little fresh coffee basket, I have to take it out, bang it on the side of the trash can and rinse it out every time I want to make a cup of coffee. Really not a big deal. I’m just lazy that way. At the end of the day, it’s just what I have to do to get the cup of coffee I want, so it’s really not a deal breaker. Just something to keep in mind in case it is for you.All in all, this is a great coffee maker. Highly recommend it if you’re anything like me.

This coffee maker (one cup) makes coffee fast and hot. You don’t have to make more than you need so there is no waste. Coffee is consistent. Makes two cup faster that you can get if you had a traditional coffee maker. Just don’t forget to put the cup underneath.

La cafetera es muy eficiente, le he sacado mucho provecho al filtro para cafe de grano, pero he tenido problemas para conseguir capsulas K-cup que son las únicas que le quedan, por acá en México. La mayoría de las capsulas disponibles en el mercado son Dolce gusto o sistema Nespresso. Ninguna le queda obviamente. Así que la única solución si lo que quiero es usar el adaptador de capsulas que trae fue pedir capsulas por aquí en Amazon por compra internacional.

Me sorprendió ademas de todo lo basico hace :1.- Cafe en modo normal y cargado2.- Distintas alturas para poner tazas o vasos tipo yeti.3.- Al ser capsulas K puedes comprar hasta para hacer te.Muy buena compra eso si es algo grande para mi gusto.
