Amazon BasicsSingle Serve Coffee Maker K-Cup, 14 Oz, Black & Stainless Steel Machine, 5.98"D x 9.44"W x 14.17"H

This coffee maker is far better than the Keurig slim in my opinion. Its plastic needle works just as well as the ones in the name brand. Its brewing capacity gives you 6,8,10,12 and even 14 ounces. The silver and black color matches my kitchen and unlike the other brand which is 3 to 4 times higher if this breaks down you aren’t out of a lot of money. My other brand lasted a year and 4 month and all I got from their tech support was yep it died and your past your warranty.

This has to be the worst design for a coffee pot I have ever seen.CONS:1. While the water comes out the front, the displays and buttons are on the right. So you have to pull it out every time you want to use it and fill it with water. Difficult with limited counter space.2. Using it is not intuitive. It took me a while to figure it out. You have to put the KCUP in first, shut the top and then you can pick capsule and the desired amount. I found the 10 oz to work best for a regular size mug and two of those for large travel mug.3. When it's done the lights don't turn off. And if you do things in the wrong order, the lights won't turn off ever! Even when you unplug it. We had to take out the Kcup and start all over again.4. The water capacity is small - but I did know that.PROS: I don't drink coffee but my husband said it's fine.My advice - don't buy it. I returned and reordered the same off brand I purchased before - the motor finally died on that one. But it's easy to use so went with what I know.

Unlike my Kuerig - it is SO QUIET!! I thought it wasn't working the first time I used it since I didn't hear anything. But noticed my water level dropped, then it started pouring out coffee. Hope it lasts forever!!

Overall a good machine, at least so far. It took just a bit to get used to operating it seemkessly. The only major con is that the resvoire is not very big and therefore runs out of water pretty quickly. You really need to check it well before using, because it’s easy to assume you have enough only to get annoyed. Tales just a couple of minutes to heat up enough to start brewing. Don’t use really fine ground loose coffee because the holder will get clumped up and not seep well. So if you wish to make hit cocoa or mushroom coffee, I suggest you put it in a cup and then just use the machine to drip the hot water into it saving the hassle of heating water in a pot in the stove. Make sure you select the size of the brew first before you press another of the start buttons, especially if you want a larger brew size. Once you press start you can’t change it. In not checking the Resevoir first, it will stop and supposed to start back up after you add water but takes a few minutes so the instructions say. I’ve done it twice and was to impatient and started pushing buttons to no avail and unplugged it to reset, but that also takes a bit if you don’t leave it unplugged for a while. Probably at least 5 minutes. I’m using it basically just with tea pods and have been pretty happy.

I bought this for work and have been happy with it. It's a good price, it's well made, and very easy to use. I also like that in addition to brewing K-Cups, it has the extra basket to brew ground coffee for single cups as well. Very happy with this purchase.

Husband drinks coffee all day long. He loves the Amazon brand coffee maker. We're tired of paying high dollar for Keurig, only to have them fail in less than 2 years.. This Amazon brand works just as well, if not better, at a more reasonable price. Buh-bye Keurig.

This is a good coffee maker with a great price point. PROS: can use K-Cups or ground coffee, you can put loose leaf tea instead of ground coffee, water reservoir hols 24oz +, the choice of oz of coffee to make is very nice, you can can place a tall thermos to fill with coffee, slim size. CONS: reservoir lid should have been a flip top. It can easily be dropped in the reservoir if not place properly. The lid to close the K-Cup does not close easily, the coffee does not come out hot enough! There were time I had to microwave to get it hotter! I like HOT coffee!!! You should not be able to gulp right after you pick your cup. When I drink coffee I like to use these big coffee cooling lips God gave me as I sip.

First time using this today. Several issues. There is no way to make a 14 ounce cup of coffee with one K-cup. There is only enough coffee in a K-cup for 6 ounces of strong coffee or 8 ounces of regular coffee. It does come with a generous filter for ground coffee, but the maximum allowed in the filter is 2 tablespoons. That is enough for a 10 ounces cup of string coffee or a 12 ounce cup of regular coffee. The water reservoir is tiny, it only holds 24 ounces of water so you’ll be refilling the reservoir a lot. If it runs dry while brewing your cuppa Joe, you will have to wait 2-3 minutes before it resumes making your morning starter fluid.The coffeemaker fits under the kitchen cabinets ok, but the lid for the coffee holder will not open all the way. Also, the reservoir is in the back and is hard to manage when it’s full of water. You also need to firmly place the reservoir into the base or it will leak. Best practice for us is to slide it out from under the cabinet. Not ideal.This will most likely go back, I will try it again later today and again in our morning coffee routine.Update: I increased my rating to 4 stars after using this for a few days. Despite the shortcomings, we have decided to keep the AB coffeemaker. It heats the water quickly, it is relatively quiet, my coffee is hot. I tried to find a replacement in this price range but was unable to do so. The name brand ‘K*’ machines do not last. I will never buy another one. This machine will suffice.
