Single Serve Coffee Maker for K Cup, Ground and Tea Leaves, Hot and Iced Coffee Machines with Bold Setting, 6 to 16 Oz Brew Sizes, Compact for Small Spaces, Black (2.0 Version)

Brings a smile to my face
My flexbrew died and I had a hard time finding a single serve to give me HOT coffee kcup, and my fat mugs sit on as well as my travel mugs and I am quite pleased with the results. Both fit well and are not perched precariously with hot liquid! The liquid came thru sporadically but continued steadily and reminded me of milking a cow. The first cup I ran through with plain water was not clean but I expected that. I look forward to this little machine giving me my first smile of the day, every day.

Meets [almost] all my coffee-making requirements
I got this to replace my wonderful Dnsly single-cup coffee maker which lasted for over five years of daily use but, apparently, is no longer manufactured. This one meets all the criteria that made me love the Dnsly, with a few plusses and a couple of minuses.Pros:- Slim design and small footprint- Is able to hold a tall travel mug- Most important – is able to brew 16 oz of coffee to FILL a tall travel mug! (For some reason the Keurig company STILL hasn’t got the message that, in America, 10 oz. is not even a full mug of coffee, let alone a large one!)Better than the Dnsly:- A “Bold” brew option. It really does brew a stronger cup of coffee, which I prefer. Apparently it does this by splooshing some hot water on top of the grounds and letting them sit for a little while before proceeding with the rest of the brewing cycle.- The brewing buttons are on top and easy to see, rather than down on the side on the bottom where they’re hard for guests to find.Cons:- Somewhat flimsier construction than the Dnsly- The brewing basket is hard to remove when still hot, if someone wants to make a cup of coffee right after the first one. I like to be considerate and take the brewing basket out and wash it in case my husband wants to make his coffee right after I do, but the hot steam rising from the still-hot grounds makes this almost impossible without having to wait for it to cool down, and that could take a while! I’m trying to devise some way to attach a “handle” to it so I can grab it without getting steam burns, but I’m gonna order a spare basket first in case I ruin it by doing that!

Brews a Terrible Cup of Coffee – complete with grounds!……
I will state from the beginning this pot brews a good cup of coffee. Let me get that on the table. The problem (in my opinion) is what leads up to the coffee. It is extremely awkward to pour water into the water chamber because the top is hinged from the back of the machine. If it were hinged from the middle it would be incredibly easy to pour water. The second annoying (to me) feature is the water level guage built into the water chamber. The printing on the guage is so tiny it is very difficult to read from the side. I don’t mind so much pouring the EXACT amount of water for the size of the cup, but because of the opening to the water chamber I have to use a funnel with a lot of caution to not pour water into the electronics of the pot. There! I’ve said my piece. UPDATE, 5/20/2025 – I am downgrading my rating because this thing is so difficult to use. Warning: Do not have shaking hands when filling the reservoir that is hard to see.! That’s it, I wish I had asked for my money back. 3rd UPDATE: This is a piece of garbage that dserves to be placed in a landfill.

Quality
I was not expecting this to look this nice. It’s not cheap looking at all. And coffee tastes the same as in my Ninja coffee maker.
