Mini Single Serve Coffee Maker for K Cup and Ground Coffee, Fast Beer Single Cup Coffee Machine with Descaling Reminder and Water Window, 6-12 Ounces, Sizes

Fast brew, right size for my 12oz mugs. I ran plain water through it twice to clean before using, and making a 2nd cup right away for another person will be no problem. I first tried a K cup for tea, and it worked wonderfully last night. This morning I used the loose coffee filter thingie, and coffee tasted just like from my larger coffee maker. I first wished the cup plate was heated, but why? You will be making this right before drinking one cup, not like having a carafe sitting around for a couple of hours. The coffee is hot enough when made, but since I put refrigerated creamer in it, that cools it down so I need to nuke it for 30 seconds after the creamer. You do have to be careful to position the loose coffee filter cup perfectly sideways, and snap all parts tightly in place. No grounds leaked for me. So far this little gadget is up to expectations, but I've only used it twice, I do have hard water so will have to see how the cleaning cycle works for me.

This simple, small coffee maker is the best one cup maker I have owned, including much more expensive, name brand, multi-featured makers. First, it is fast! Two minutes after pouring the water in and pushing the single button, an 8 oz. cup is ready and the machine shuts off. Then, it has the smallest footprint possible, which is important to me with my limited counter space. It of course accepts K cups, which I use, but also has a permanent filter cup for loose ground coffee which my husband uses. This filter cup has a hinged lid that snaps tightly and does an excellent job of preventing grounds from spilling out. A 5 1/2" thermal mug holding 25 oz. will fit under the dispenser, but taller will not. The maximum amount that you can brew at once is 12 oz., which is about all you would want to brew using just 1 k cup. After I had been using the coffee maker for about 6 months the red light came on indicating it needed the descaling run. I ran the descaling solution through it one time and the red light went off and has stayed off for the 3 months since. At no time did it sound like it was straining to get the water through the tube. The sound of brewing is louder than some previous brands, but softer than others. It is not so loud as to be annoying. This pot does not have a clock or the ability to set it to come on before you get up. It does not have a resevoir to catch the coffee in case you forget to put your cup in place. It does not have a platform so you can use an extra tall thermos. I do not miss any of these features you can pay more to get in other models. It has only one button. Press and release to start the brewing, and a light on the button comes on to show it brewing, and the light goes off when it is finished. Press and hold the same button for 3 seconds to run a descaling cycle. Simple and just right for me!

Bought this in January for Airbnb but construction too forever. Opened it to use it today, the directions are simple and easy to follow. The machine works just fine as long as the k-cup holder is situated correctly. We missed the diagram in the book and there was no troubleshooting tip for this. The average k-cup user would have known this but we are novices so a tip would have been helpful. The diagram is a bit small for aging eyes. Very nice, compact and almost silent machine. The coffee was steaming hot. Hop we can get at least a year or more out of it

This little coffee maker is great! The black color is sleek, the machine is very lightweight, you can make 8-12 oz of coffee with it, your coffee brews fast, it’s easy to use, and it fits nicely in my kitchen.

I was looking for a one-cup coffee brewer and this one seemed to come with good ratings at a decent price point. And, tell you what, it does make pretty nice coffee. I used the grounds basket instead of K-cups and the coffee came out at a great temperature with excellent flavor. Used it four times a day. However, just today, as Amazon asked me to review it only a few months after purchasing it, it died. Just plain stopped brewing before it even asked to be descaled for the first time. So now it's headed to a landfill. Your mileage may vary: I liked the coffee that came out, found the grounds basket slightly awkward to use but could make it work, but was highly disappointed with the longevity and therefore the value. Might work for you if you use it intermittently instead of constantly as I did. Didn't see any point in trying again when there are numerous other models out there.
