Mixpresso Single Serve Coffee Maker K Cup Coffee Maker for K Pods & Grounds | Compact 800W White Coffee Machine with 14 Oz Water Tank, Fast Brew & Auto Shut-Off, Small Design for Travel RV, Office& Dorm

This coffee maker is very easy to use and is amazingly small for a device that works so well. After removing from the box and placing it on my counter I ran four or five cycles of a vinegar/water mix through the unit to ensure it was cleaned of any manufacturing oils etc. After that I ran a few pure water cycles to remove any vinegar that might have remained and then inserted a coffee pod and made my first cup of coffee. It tasted wonderful and was everything I was hoping for. This coffee maker does not have a chamber for holding water so you must add water every time you use it to make a cup of coffee. This is quite easy to do as you simply lift the lid and pour the water in the top, place a cup or mug under the spout and press start. The instructions make it clear to only add 10 ounces of water but there is no need to measure as 10 ounces of water is all it will hold. So I simply fill the coffee maker to the top of the filter and its ready to go. Not having a tank to store water is a GOOD THING. I am ashamed to admit but recently when my K-Cup type of coffee maker stopped working and being a tinkerer I thought I'd open it up to see what ticks. To my surprise the water chamber was full of the most UNPLEASANT SLIME I have ever seen and I am amazed that it hadn't made me sick. From this experience I am sold on single use coffee makers such as this Mixpresso. In the past with all types of coffee makers I would run a couple of the vinegar/water cycles to ensure nothing bad is accumulating inside the coffee maker. But that hadn't worked with my K-Cup unit. With the Mixpresso not having a water chamber I have the assurance that the inside of the unit is staying clean and safe. The coffee will probably taste better as well. One last thing, as ten ounces of coffee does not seem like a lot, after making the first ten ounces of coffee I add about half that amount and run another cycle. This just about fills my coffee mug to the brim and I find the flavor excellent. I would definitely purchase this coffee maker again and most certainly would recommend it to a friend. And yes, I am loving my new-found counter space!

Second Update: who has time to update a review twice? Well I am just relaxing with a cup of coffee made in this brewer which is still working great after almost 3 years of daily use. I am thinking of ordering another one to keep as a spare in case the first one dies but it's still working like new. I am very pleased with this little machine. So compact and easy to use. Update: Used this coffeemaker every day for almost a year now. It's compact so we brought it on vacation also. Still EXTREMELY pleased with it. Works perfectly, never malfunctions and brews a great hot cup of coffee. We use Peet's Major Dickason blend with about 9oz. of water - excellent dark strong euro flavor. Bought this coffeemaker so my wife could make a single cup of coffee in the afternoons or evenings without having to make a larger pot with our regular coffeemaker. Wanted something compact to hide in kitchen cabinet or at least not take up much space on counter top. It does a great job, and she can pick from dozens of types and flavors. Works with any brand Kcup I think (she has used 3 different brands so far). It makes great tasting coffee, quite hot, and you can use any size cup or mug you want. A typical coffee mug holds about 10-12 ounces and is perfect size for this machine. You could easily fit a larger mug up to about 16 ounces. You simply pour a mugful of water into the top of the machine, drop in a Kcup, close the lid, place the mug in the machine and press the start button. The water heats up, the machine pumps it through the Kcup and into your mug, then shuts itself completely off. Total time about 3 minutes. So far very pleased. Hope it keeps working for years.

My primary coffeemaker is a $1000+ fully-automatic Jura-Capresso espresso machine, which just makes the absolute best espresso coffees from fresh-ground whole beans and high-pressure steam. So why would I want a super-inexpensive K-cup machine like this? Several reasons. Topmost is variety: as awesome as the Jura-Capresso is, it's only really good for one kind of bean at a time, because you can't really swap out whatever beans you have loaded in the bin. Sure you could grind beans separately and manually load the grounds into the top chute, but for just an occasional decaf or flavored coffee, it's hard to beat the convenience and varity of K-cups. Plus, you can even get non-coffee drinks like teas and apple ciders in K-cups now. Another reason to like this unit is speed. While a full-auto espresso machine takes a lot of the work out of making a latte, you still need to froth the milk, then make a couple of espresso shots. With this little beauty you just fill the tank, pop in a pod, press the button, and wait a couple minutes. After you press that button, you can be doing something else, unlike with the espresso machine where you have to stand there and tend to it. Another reason is guests. They want coffee, but may not want to learn how to operate the espresso machine. But everybody knows how to make a K-cup! Doesn't get much simpler. The espresso machine is still my primary source of coffee, but it's pretty big - bigger than a car battery. So this unit is a perfect little satellite coffee machine that gives me a K-cup option without taking up nearly any countertop real estate. Yeah, I've got a few gripes. This thing is geared to make 12 oz of coffee into a 12 oz mug and that's about it (OK, so just make two cups of coffee then). Also, the temperature is just barely high enough for a good coffee and it could be hotter. But you know what? It's a lot easier to accept these kinds of limitations when you didn't even spend $40 on your 'satellite' coffeemaker! One final piece of advice I haven't seen anyone else mention: If you don't want the heating element to build up with mineral deposits and require occasional de-scaling, do the same thing I do with my espresso machine and use only distilled water. All the flavor comes from your coffee grind anyway, but distilled water is so pure it leaves no scale.

I purchased this coffee maker on a great sale last year, because I thought my Keurig might be going. It swt in the closet in the box for about 6 months, and finally my Keurig completely kicked the bucket. We plugged this bad boy in, and at first it worked really well, then about 2 months after we had plugged it in, it started just putting out steam, and you could hear it revving up, and you can see steam billowing out everywhere, and you would only get about a half a cup of coffee when all was said and done. Then it started melting all of the coffee pods, so that they were about half the size that they were when they went into the machine. I assumed that I had gotten a defective one, and contacted the company. Great customer service! They were kind, generous, and they lived by their product, even though it had been about 8 months since I purchased it at this point. They sent me a replacement, after receiving my photo verifying that I had cut the cord on the broken one. We set up the new one that they sent us, and literally within the same exact time frame, it started doing the exact same thing that the last one was doing, just blowing out steam, only giving you about a half a cup of coffee, and taking about 10 minutes to brew that cup of coffee. At that point, I went back to my regular pot for now, and I'm waiting for a different machine that I have ordered. Definitely would not recommend this maker. The company is great. But the coffee maker is not. I have owned two keurigs in the last 14 years. The first one lasted for roughly 8 years, and the second one for roughly 6 years. I do have a lot of people making coffee in my house, as three of my six children drink coffee, as do my husband and myself. So I would expect a machine to go a little bit faster in our house, with the extra use, but 2 months is ridiculous.

Like other reviewer‘s, this little machine is very small and compact. It takes up so little counter top real estate, and that’s one of the reasons I adore it. Super easy to use and it puts out a mighty hot cup of coffee. I drink my coffee, black and I am notorious for liking very, very hot coffee and this little guy does the trick. The one thing I will warn you about and again other, Amazon reviewer‘s had said this, to cycle about three or 4 cups of water before you use it. When I put the 1st cup of water in without any coffee, the water came out fine meaning there was no chemical or plastic smell but regardless, I cycled in about three or 4 cups of water before I made my 1st cup of coffee. The only drawback and it’s really not a drawback is because it’s so small it is very light. So if you have a crazy cat that likes to run on countertops, this could easily be pushed right off. Or if you accidentally hit it while you were there to cleaning your countertops, this thing would move very easily. I strategically put it between two other appliances and that’s how I’m getting away or around this little issue. But overall winner, especially at this price!

I bought this for a cheap coffee maker for my desk. My previous just under a hundred died a inglorious death the second time I used it. Not sure why it decided to go nuke and turn on the heating element with nothing in it but hey, who am I to question the motives of a coffee maker. This machine had the right price point, cheap, was well rated, and did I mention cheap? The first time I used this I neglected to push the pod down so it didn't properly puncture. Was treated to a nice hot grainy cup of Joe with a mess to clean up. I learn quick, next couple of times I seated the pod and heard a noticeable click. Yes! It punctured. Just like my tires once a year cause LA freeways. I read this cool little cheap machine can take the coffee grounds insert basket thingy. Awesome! Until it wasn't. First time using the insert was magical. I heard stars saw sirens and all was well with the world. The second time. Not so much. Maybe I got to excited to motivated to full of LUST for my caffeine fix. And I over floweth my basket with the exilur of life, coffee. Cause the top of the machine popped and it kept spitting out water. Drat. Coffee came out good, no extra grounds in the cup but gosh darn and golly gee did I have another mess. You really do get what you pay for. I wouldn't buy this again, or any other coffee maker for my desk, when this one gives up the ghost. It does what it says for the most part. I wouldn't say I am displeased with this item I purchased maybe disappointed is a better description.

Excellent product at a reasonable price! I am very happy the quality and the performance. It exceeded my expectations to this tiny machine. I would definitely recommend to others to buy it.

I am happy with my purchase, but let me address other reviews that almost made me not buy this k-cup brewer: 1) "Hard to fill up." This has nothing to do with this k-cup brewer. Try using your coffee mug as a precision water pouring device and you will be sorely disappointed. YES, water DOES go everywhere if you try and aim water out of a coffee mug. The reason is there is not a pouring lip on a coffee mug. Duh. Solution: we keep a Pyrex measuring cup next to the coffee mugs and PROBLEM SOLVED. Fills with water quickly and easily, with no spills. 2) Next, I feel like a lot of reviewers were disappointed with the amount of the coffee output. Ten ounces, the amount it brews, is slightly less than a soda can (12 ounces). Pour that amount of liquid in your coffee cup before you order your machine and see if that'll be enough coffee for you. I included a photo of a full brew in my mug so you can see. It was fine for us, but I can imagine many Starbucks grande and venti drinkers that would be disappointed. FYI--a Starbucks 'tall' (SMALL) is 12 OUNCES. 3) Bad taste. YES, ours smelled/tasted metallic straight out of the box. After reading all the reviews, when I received my brewer I ran 6 cycles of water through and then brewed the first k-cup. The coffee was bitter and undrinkable. I then read the instructions for "descaling" in the booklet. (Fill with white vinegar and hit start so that it starts brewing, but without a k-cup. When it starts to brew shut OFF the machine and let it sit for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, hit start again so the vinegar is pumped out of the machine. THEN run water through (still no k-cup) for 6-10 times. I did it until I didn't smell any vinegar). Worked like a charm. Coffee tastes great. If this helped you, please click the "Helpful" button. Thanks! :)

This is a great alternative to the main brand single cup coffee maker. It is sturdy, well designed and makes a great cup of coffee. It is more compact than most machines, therefore, takes up less room on your counter. Still does the job though. Actually, it's easier than my last machine. One less button to push. Just as fast to brew. The true test will be its longevity. My last main brand machine lasted 2 1/2 years of heavy use (4-5 cups a day). With proper cleaning, I have a feeling this one will equal if not surpass that mark. Oh, should mention too.....it costs half the price!!

I was tired of my Keurig Elite taking up huge swaths of counter space in the kitchen when it only got used two or three times a day. Enter a month-long search for a smaller model. This one was very small and came with decent reviews. After almost a month of using it, I'm pretty happy with it. I took it through the manual's recommended washing before first use and haven't gotten any kind of 'plastic' taste from it. It uses the reusable k-cup filters well, and is simple to use. The coffee or tea comes out hot enough for me and tastes as good as any other coffee machine. The downsides: you have to fill the resevoir every time you want a cup, and it uses all the water in it to make that cup. I keep a dedicated measuring cup next to it just for that purpose and it works well - coffee mugs aren't great at pouring neatly. It also takes around two minutes to heat up the water, so it's best to start it before you need the coffee. Other than that, I'm happy with it - it definitely takes up less counter space and I still get my coffee without much trouble.
