reliable workhorse
Purchased this a year ago and have used it almost daily. Take it with me when I travel due to its small size and easy packability. I usually use the filter that allows me to use whatever ground coffee I want but have used Kcups about 20% of the time. Make a good cup of coffee, quickly and easily. Excellent product.

Great slim single cup coffee maker
I bought this after my other slim coffee pot with working. This coffee pot is fast brewing and makes a great cup of coffee or tea (I like stronger tea so I steep my afterwards). Itâs great to be able to switch out the baskets that come with it for coffee or tea. My tea basket didnât hold up and broke. So I ordered stainless steel baskets to put into the coffee basket which work like a charm (Cafe Flow Stainless Steel Reusable Metal Coffee Pod Refillable Filter Cup – Compatible with Keurig 1.0, 2.0 K-Slim(1-Stream) K-Mini K-Duo & Select Single K Cup Coffee Makers(See Compatibility Chart – (try to catch these on sale here on Amazon! They are are great as well – I searched for a good match and they work well with this coffee pot. I donât have a lot of counter space and this coffee pot is perfect for that and I love it so much I ordered a second one for a spare since itâs so hard to find coffee pots like this that work so well with versatility and are so slim. Hope this helps!

Does Not Last – 2nd Attempt
This is my 2nd purchase of this specific portable coffee maker. My use of portable coffee makers is limited to leisure travel as a retiree. My first machine lasted just over a year. I loved it, but it simply died. I bought a similar Chefman, but with a reservoir. Unfortunately the reservoir became a victim of luggage handling and cracked. I repeatedly tried through their customer service to buy another one, but to no success. I gave up and saw this machine without the reservoir was available and took another chance. Unfortunately it only lasted two trips, or about 15 uses. It would only brew about a third of a cup and I had to three rounds to get a full cup. This one is headed for the garbage, unfortunately.

What bad after four months but manufacturer sent me a new one.
This is a great little coffee maker, and I really liked the way it had multiple fill levels so it would make any size cup of coffee you want. After four months, it started just making steam and would no longer brew a cup of coffee. I contacted the manufacturer through Amazon and they had me send them info from under the coffee maker, and a video of what it was doing. After a few emails they sent me a new coffee maker so hopefully this new one will last longer because itâs really convenient and makes just about instantly. No wait time. For me, the manufacturer came through. So even though my first one went bad I would still recommend this product..

Good alternative to full size coffee maker for power outages
We picked up this coffee maker to use during power outages since its electrical draw at 950 watts is significantly reduced from that of our daily use coffee maker. We wanted something to use with solar generators in the event of a power outage, and this fits that need.I was able to brew a nice cup of coffee (there is no indication in the included literature as to the brewing temperature, which is not adjustable, so i cannot be sure whether it is similar to our regular maker, but it was hot enough to brew an enjoyable cup of coffee) using one of our solar generators.So in the event of an outage (our last such outage lasted 15 hours last fall) we can enjoy coffee just as we would otherwise. I could probably run our regular maker instead, but it would deplete our generator more rapidly. It did take a bit longer to dispense the coffee, but considering that my regular machine preheats the water then brews, whereas this one does it all as part of the one-touch process, it really wasn’t a significant overall difference.This was simple to use – just add desired ground coffee to the filter basket, or insert a K-Cup into the designated holder, insert into the unit, add desired water (there are “steps” in the water reservoir to indicate the amount of water already added as you fill) anywhere from 6 to 14 ounces, close the lid, press the button on the front bottom, and the water heats, and coffee is dispensed (don’t forget to place a suitable cup or mug to catch the coffee!) The machine dispenses all of the water before shutting off. And it can run a self-clean cycle as desired/needed. If you add a bit of vinegar to the water per the instructions it can help avoid scaling in the machine.All things considered this machine works pretty nicely. I’ll still with my full size machine for everyday use, but in a pinch I wouldn’t hesitate to plug this in and brew some coffee!
