CHULUX Mini Coffee Maker for K Capsule, Single Serve Coffee Maker for One Cup Americano, Lightweight Pod Coffee Machine, Red

Has been working great with no issues since Jan. 2019
Likes: small, easy to use, easy to clean, price is great, looks nice on the counter, not loud, drip plate doesn’t rust, shuts off after each cup and quickly starts back up when you want another cup, makes a cup at a time, has worked great for over 5 years and counting!!!! Cons: not the best for parties if everyone wants coffee at the same time, but no different than any other single serve. Not sure how hot it gets one way or another but I think it gets hot enough as I usually add cold water or ice so I can drink mydrink a little faster.I used to buy Keurigs every year but this little inexpensive item has worked amazingly well almost 6 years now, and I use it multiple times a day!

Easy to use, easy to clean. Safety specifications could be better, but it’s cheap, so what else to expect?
Pros:This coffee brewer works just as described. It is very user-friendly. All you have to do is pour in water, put in a K-cup, and press the on button. The machine turns off automatically once it’s finished brewing, so you can walk away from it to get other things done and then come back to a finished cup of coffee and a shut-off machine. Every time I’ve tried it so far, it has taken 2 minutes and 45 seconds from the time I press the on button to the time the machine turns off.The compact size of the machine is a big bonus for me, too. It holds more liquid than I typically need for my coffee (it holds up to 12 oz, but I usually only use 8 oz). The amount of water you pour into the machine is the exact amount that comes out (I measured before and after), so you can measure the water level you want in your mug and then pour it out into the machine.The manufacturer recommends using cups with a maximum height of 5.5 inches, but if you remove the drip tray (which is very easy to do), you can fit a mug with a height up to about 6.25 inches under the drip spout. The drip tray holds an absolute maximum of 3 oz of liquid.Cleaning the machine is also very easy. Before using it for the first time, run it without a K-cup. Just use water. I also cleaned the removable drip spout, the rubber drip spout ring, the drip tray, and the water filter basket piece with lukewarm water and soap. I also poured warm water into the machine, closed and locked the lid, shook the machine up and down, and then poured the water out, and repeated twice more. After that, it seemed good to go.This machine is probably best for those who aren’t big coffee aficionados but just enjoy a cup of coffee every now and then. You could even just use it as a water boiler to get piping hot water in just under 3 minutes.Cons:As to the safeness of the product, the product is made in China, but contains a UL serial number on the underside of the machine (see attached picture) that you can use to look up the product in the UL’s database. While the item is listed in the database under “Household cooking appliances,” it says that “neither the toxicity of coatings nor the physiological effects of consuming food prepared by use of these appliances has been investigated.” Just something to consider before buying it. I think that for many like myself, the cheapness of the product is an advantage that outweighs the disadvantage of the safety risk, but if I could afford to shell out more money, I’d go with something with a better, stricter safety rating.Also, it is curious that the image for this product here on Amazon contains the FDA logo, but nowhere in the instruction manual, on the box, or on the machine does this logo also appear, which means it is likely not certified at all by the FDA. This is a rather sketchy move by the seller, and is the main reason why I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5.Overall:Go with it if you want something cheap, effective, and easy to maintain, and if the safety risk doesn’t bother you too much. Don’t go with it if you have more money to spend and can buy a similar product with a better safety rating by a well-recognized, well-reputed safety standards organization.

I specifically bought this coffee maker for my RV. We dry camp a lot, and although I have sufficient solar I only have a 1100 watt inverter. At 800 watts, this unit seems to run well on my 1100 watt inverter. For 12 ounces of water, I figure the brew time is more like 5 minutes than 3 as advertised, which I calculate to use about 5.5 amp-hours total from the batteries. My solar can easily make that up in 20 minutes in good sun. It is way more convenient than boiling water with gas every time I want a cup of coffee or tea. As for the product itself, it is easy to use and doesn’t take much space on the counter top, which is also a concern in an RV. My only complaint would be that tall travel mugs do not fit even with the drip tray out, so you might have to pour your coffee from a shorter mug into the travel mug. But other than that this product is ideal for RV use. I specifically bought it rather than a Keurig Mini because the Keurig, although quicker and able to hold a taller travel mug, draws 1425 watts when heating, which is a lot unless you have a large battery/inverter system.

Está muy bonita yo la compré en color rosa, está chiquita pero es el tamaño perfecto ya que solo es de una taza, lo único q no me gustó fue que no le puedes poner cualquier cápsula:( le tiene que quedar bien y por eso le quito 2 estrellaspor otro lado menciona que no trae el filtro reutilizable, no sé qué pasó pero en la mía si venía un filtro e igual yo había comprado los filtros aparte pero bueno si me lo incluía aunque reitera varias veces que no jajaEl café si lo filtra muy bien y sabe muy rico así que cumple su función y lo de las cápsulas pues sólo buscar unas que si le queden (que si las hay)en fin es muy buena opción si vives solita como yo y eres la única q toma café, muy fácil de usar y a simple vista la cafetera se ve súper cute😍

Manque l accessoire pour déposer le café….machine inutilisable poir le coup je suis vraiment déçue
