The media could not be loaded. Buy this coffee maker. Other than it doesn’t hold a whole lot of water, it makes better coffee than my name brand, Keurig & it makes very hot coffee. Took me a minute to figure out the buttons to brew but after I figured out which button to push and then press the oz. button you want to brew, you leave it alone and it will begin to brew(there is no “start” button (there is an instruction book). I also purchased a s.steel pod to use instead of using the plastic k cups all the time and it works great with those also. The extra xl size brew cup(included) is so useful, I can brew as much of my own ground coffee for a cup as I want. The added milk frother is a great added bonus. It heats the cream and works fantastic. For the money, you should not pass this up. Read more

This little coffee maker is honestly way better than I expected. It brews fast, the coffee comes out hot, and the adjustable brew strength actually makes a noticeable difference. The 28oz water tank is a good size too — you don’t have to refill it constantly. The built-in milk frother is a really nice bonus. It makes decent foam for lattes and cappuccinos, and it’s easy to clean after use. The self-cleaning feature is super convenient and saves a lot of hassle. Overall, it’s compact, easy to use, and does everything it claims. Great for small kitchens, offices, or anyone who wants quick coffee with a little extra flair. Solid machine for the price.

So far so good. I've never had a milk frother before and am having a lot of fun making milk foam for my coffee. It works well, runs quietly, and the controls are easy to use. It made a decent foam out of 2% milk, even, and of course does even better with half&half. The downside is that it's a little difficult to clean. Since the whole thing can't be submerged, meaning it can't be washed at the sink like a regular dish, it's not exactly easy to wash. I've been running soapy water through a "cappuccino" cycle, followed by a few rinses, then wiping all around the chamber with a paper towel to remove any left-over residue. As for the coffee pot part, it makes a very mild cup of coffee quickly. It works fine with K-cups but I cannot use my new, steel, refillable pods with this machine. CORRECTION: I CAN use the steel refillable K-cups, I was just so afraid I'd break my brand new coffee pot that I wasn't pushing the lid down hard enough. The ZACME does come with a strainer basket for loose grounds but it's mostly plastic and I'd switched to all-steel to get away from the partially plastic strainers because I find them difficult to get fully clean. Residue likes to cling to the wire mesh around the edges of the plastic frame. I haven't used the grounds basket, yet. I also like how big the drip tray is. It can hold a lot of fluid which is great if you misjudge the amount of coffee your cup can hold or, as I have done a few times, forget to put the cup on the stand all together. The space between the spout and the drip tray is tall which leaves room for large tumblers but does mean there is a lot of splattering if you have a low-sided mug. It makes quite a mess. The biggest problem I have with this coffee pot, though, is that it STINKS. It reeks of plastic in a way that I've encountered a time or two on other plastic things. I don't know if it's going to fade away over time or not. The smell seems to be gone until I use the milk frother and then it comes back. I haven't noticed any plastic scent in my coffee or milk foam themselves. Read more
Luke warm coffee, all the coffee options are in an inconvenient location and to top it off it doesn’t make the amount of coffee it claims to make. Zacme more like jack me. Great video to sell this product but I highly recommend against buying it Read more
A nice little compact coffee maker that looks smart. It is well suited for small spaces, or where you don't have a lot of counter space to spare. For us, this works perfectly for my daughter's apartment in college that she shares with 3 other girls. She said the frother does a great job. Also, the machine isn't overly noisy, so she doesn't worry that she'll wake up her roomies who don't have to leave as early as she does. She thinks using grounds gives her a better tasting cup of coffee than using a KCup pod. She said the KCup version makes her feel like the coffee is too weak, or there was not enough inside the pod for an average cup, let alone a larger travel cup to take along to class. She mostly uses it on days she's not in a rush out the door. I was hoping she would be less inclined to go buy a Bucky's on way to school by having this little beauty sitting on the counter. And she has enjoyed being able to make her own drinks to save a little money. However, she still hits up Bucky's when she has a long morning at the campus. Mostly because she can get the extra large sized coffee that will be full bodied in taste and caffeine, plus last her a bit longer. She might be a little hard to please, since she is a former barista. For a young college girl or guy who wants to have a coffee but not pay $6 a day for it, it works decently. Her main gripe is it feels difficult to get cleaned, and she'd prefer a little more substance to material of the machine, as it is primarily made of plastic. I should have pulled it out of the box at home before we took it up to her school, because she keeps forgetting to send me a photo to add here. Read more
