great coffee maker for one person...fast perking time coffee taste great every cup

Works great!

I didn’t get much use out of this single serve coffee maker. I loved the color blue and the confidence of the size for traveling, but only used about 4 times then it quit working. I tried to notify someone on Amazon for help exchanging this, since it must be a default but instead they wanted me to keep trying to do everything that I already did. I own a keurig and know how to clean out everything to get them working again if it is fixable. I even followed every step the representative had recommended and it just flashes blue when I push the start button. I guess I am out of 30.00 from this single serve coffee maker, since I got nowhere trying to exchange it and now it’s too late for a refund. Hopefully others had no issues but I just wanted send the default back and get a working coffee maker. I notified them within 2 weeks and usually Amazon has great customer service. Not sure what is the issue with this particular problem. I can’t say someone else will have a faulty coffee maker, so can’t say anything bad. It did work well for the 4 times and brewed fast. So hopefully if you purchase one, then yours will last!! Good luck!!

I am on a very tight budget but wanted a single serve coffee maker that was inexpensive and didn't take up much counter space. I got both with this unit. It is nothing fancy, but it does what it is intended to do. My only complaint with it is the odor when I first got it. I ran 5 water only cycles through it as suggested, but the odor was just as strong. I finally used some white vinegar in the water and did 3 cycles of the vinegar water then 2 plain water to flush out the vinegar and that helped a great bit. There was still a slight odor, but I finally made my first cup of coffee in it. There was an odd taste and I still could smell that odor in the coffee. I dumped out that cup and made one more and that was better, I was able to drink it. The odor and taste continued to diminish and now, a month later, there is no odor or bad taste. I do not use it every day as on work days, I just get my coffee at work.Some comments have addressed the issue of trying to put water in it when under a cabinet and having it go everywhere but in to the maker, I had the same issue when I tried to use my coffee cup to put the water in the unit so I finally tried using an 8 oz. measuring cup with the pour spout/lip and it worked just fine. It really is best if you just pull the unit out from under the cabinet when using then put it back when done. I can see that would be pretty much the same with any coffee maker that has the water reservoir located at the back of the maker.

It can be a bit weird to clean. It steams quite a bit so you have to put it somewhere steam wont damage things. It sounds like it's a dying beast every time I use it. Despite all that, it's my favorite coffee machine. I've been using it for 2 years or so now, frequently. It takes K-cups, and if you get a coffee pod that doesn't fit, use a knife to open the pod and dump the stuff inside it into the provided, fillable pod. When you clean it, give it some gentle wipe-downs with paper towels. If you keep it clean, you can use it for hot water for anything else like instant noodles. You can dishwash the pod and pod holder on the top rack without issue. It's decently compact, so you can push it into a corner somewhere when you're not using it, if you want to. Don't open it right after brewing a cup. It's hot in there.Treat it with respect and you won't regret this little machine.

Update:I've been using this coffee maker at least once daily for awhile now.It doesn't seem as cumbersome as it did initially, but it definitely isn't the most convenient coffee maker to use.I'm still unhappy that most larger mugs and any travel mugs I've tried simply will not fit.But I must say it is relatively fast and makes a decent HOT cup of coffee.The biggest thing to consider is that with a plastic device such as this, and any time a kcup is used, that piping hot water is going to result with an acidic plastic-y taste.So far as an inexpensive coffee maker goes, it's not all bad. I think I'll give it another star. But for those serious about the taste of their coffee, an investment in a higher quality product will need to be made. Personally, I've found a stainless steel pour over filter and glass electric kettle yield the best results. But, most mornings I'll just pop a kcup into this and suffer for convenience.---Spend the extra fifteen bucks and get a better one.It's barely big enough for my mug to fit. It actually will not fit with the rubber drip catcher which is just a rubber piece that sits on the bottom as there is no actual drip tray. My travel mugs will not fit. The grounds basket isn't big enough to hold enough to make a flavorful cup in my 12oz mug.I'm keeping it so I have something to brew kcups with, but I'll continue to pour over regular coffee.Pros:It's small. Relatively fast. Coffee is hot.Cons:As mentioned above, also cumbersome to fill if not precise.I've purchased better similar single cup coffee makers at Walmart for twenty bucks in the past that had an actual reservoir access and twice the ground coffee basket capacity.It's a functional unit for smaller cups of coffee. I've used it twice after running 2 cycles beforehand to clean it. Hopefully it will last. My last cheap coffee maker I mentioned lasted for years.As I said I'm keeping it for kcups.I'll update my review if appropriate. I doubt I will use it for ground coffee again.
