We've only had it for 3 weeks but so far we're loving it. Hope it keeps doing a great job. Used Starbucks kcups, the filter with our own coffee blend, and just water for tea. All hot brew. All worked. Easy to operate. Really having fun with the attached frother and the happy face template. Frother is amazing! Takes no time for perfectly frothed milk. Super price for what you're getting. Only issue is it does splatter coffee on counter when brewing as another reviewer observed. But I've always had to wipe down coffee "station" area anyway so no big deal for me. Read more
I had this in my cart just waiting for a sale & it was worth the wait. I love this coffee maker. I continue to use my ground coffee using the little filter included, & it is the best mini filter I’ve ever used. I love having the rechargeable foamer so handy. My only very minor negative is to make a 12 ounce mug of coffee I need to press the 14 ounce button. But I love the machine remembers the last size I used & defaults to that size, so no worries. Perfect for my small kitchen & it replaced a Keurig cappuccino maker I had that was too big for current space. Thrilled! Read more
When I first opened the box, I was surprised how small it was compared to my Kuerig. However, that was deceiving. The reservoir looked much smaller but was 40 oz, the exact size of the Kuerig. I found the removable reservoir easier to remove & replace than my other unit. There are more setting options than my Kuerig. The whip to froth milk works great. It's removable & works either attached or independently. When attached, it charges but also has a port to charge if you want to leave it unattached. The manual recommendations whole milk but I used 1% and got great results. I like the interchangeable trays for different size mugs. Finally, it makes coffee ever as good as my Kuerig. I am very happy with my purchase. Read more
Just as good as a name brand coffee machine. I would have 5 stars but when I click the iced coffee option it still come out piping hot. Not sure if that's supposed to happen. Otherwise it's great. Noise level is quiet, zero leakage, fast brew speed, looks sleek, easy to set up and install, holds 25oz of water so you have to fill it after every use but it has the capacity of at least half a 40oz stanley cup. The mini frothy whisk is a plus too! Definitely buy! Great price, great machine!! Read more
This coffee maker is a game changer for me, so simple yet efficient for the best cup of coffee. I can use coffee grounds, or k pods, and the rechargeable frother, AMAZING, While your coffee is making add creamer to a metal cup(not included) wished it did, but i had one. You can easily froth your creamer n milk. Easy to clean and use. I've had the best cups of coffee for a month now, cause I got mine on black Friday deal. Read more
I bought this to use at my sister's while visiting. It's a great little coffee maker, I made coffee and my sister made hot chocolate. It's similar to our Ninga that I have at home. When it dies I think I will get this one to replace it. This is easy to use and takes up a small space Read more
Very nice coffee pot. Reservoir holds enough for a couple cups. Frother detaches and works well. Read more
I would give this coffee maker 3.5 stars, but since that’s not possible I’m going with 4. Pros: compact, lightweight machine, easy to move if needed, takes up minimal space, should fit nicely under most cabinets. The controls are simple to use, nice range of ounce sizes, and Keurig-type pods can be used. The removable water reservoir is handy. The reservoir is only 40 ounces but if it was bigger the machine would have to be bigger and I like the compact size. It brews a tasty cup of coffee (could be a bit hotter but it’s fine) in a very short time and it’s quiet. The frothing attachment is something I didn’t think I’d like but I love it. So easy to use and it’s always ready because it self-charges by plugging into the coffee maker. Ingenious. The cons: this lightweight machine is unstable; the one I received does not sit flat on the counter, it wobbles a bit so I’ll add additional bumpers on the bottom because that’s easier then requesting a new machine. The removable/washable pod holder doesn’t click into place, it just lands in the hole but that doesn’t seem to affect its ability to make coffee from pods; we tried regular plastic pods and compostable soft pods and both types work fine. The additional permanent filter for using your own ground coffee is oddly large—I guess they’re allowing more grounds to make a larger cup or travel mug of coffee, but since most people will make single, regular cups the supersized filter seems like a mistake, and the company does not sell paper filters to fit (I asked), however paper filters can be found that fit this filter. (Note: Using a paper filter helps to remove cafestol and kahweol, which can raise LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels. Permanent mesh filters, like the one included here, do not remove these compounds.) The included filter does explain why the pod holder is so loose—more room is required for the grounds filter. We had a Keurig for many years and the My K-cup grounds filters had a bendable piece of plastic holding the lid on, which would invariably break over time. The Taststyle grounds filter looks to have a metal pin holding the lid on, which should be much more durable—maybe that’s why additional filters cost so much. I hate having the made-up name plastered on the front of the machine, but there you are. Overall this feels like a cheaply-made machine that happens to make good coffee. We’re having fun making fancy coffee with frothed milk, so we use it daily. I’ll report on durability when I’ve used it awhile, or it breaks. Read more
