Cons: Small reservoir, costs more than grocery store coffee.

A little background Let me start out by saying I don't normally like coffee. Don't get me wrong! Freshly-ground coffee in a clean and shiny machine is a joy. Store-bought coffee at the office or brewed out of a can always tastes stale, ...

Pros: Nice cup of coffee, sleek design, pods offer no mess

Pros: quick, easy to clean, nice for households with decaf/caf drinkers.

We received this coffee machine free through an online promotion they were running. Before receiving this we were quite happy with our Black-n-Decker full pot coffee maker. We saw no need to change. But free is free...so we decided to give the ...

Pros: Nice design
Cons: High Priced Pods for non-quality coffee, Leaks

First Thought:
Cute little machine, sleek design. But somewhat cheaply built for the cost of the machine. I have found better quality in a ten dollar machine then this one.

Setting up the machine:
Has very few parts and was very easy to set up. Not issues with the parts. Did not have to use instructions.

Overall:
Disappointment doesn't even begin to cover my feelings on this coffee maker. As an avid coffee drinker I bought this thinking it was would be nice to have a quick cup of coffee in a no mess style and no waste with a left over pot of coffee. What I ended up with is a system that leaks water on the floor, over priced pods and not even a decent mug of coffee. For the price of the pods I was better off ordering quality coffee on-line and making a half pot of coffee.
