Pros: Fast
Cons: Coffee is decent at best. Water temp even at the highest setting isn't hot enough. Expensive. Wasteful.


Get a press. 20$ and it will make the best coffee you've ever had.

How hot do you want it? It is hot. Why would you want it hotter?

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the
coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then
we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."
The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and you
should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my
coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible
that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him
at the top of several pages, that it indeed says.........."HEBREWS"

It's ok. Makes coffee quick. Costly and wasteful if you care about the environment.

We make a lot of tea and hot chocolate with ours I don't use it for coffee.

Agree completely with this.

Way too expensive for crappy coffee, in my opinion. But it's fast to get a single cup.

Big selection, but it's not close to being fresh (if that's important to you).

I was going to buy reusable k-cup gizmo and grind beans from my wife's fav local coffee shop. Still fast, less waste on multiple fronts, and coffee will be fresh.

So, my next question is how many have used the reusable stainless steel k-cup? I read about it briefly, but saw no reviews.

Don't bother with this little gadget, it sucks in my opinion due to the fact that sometimes it makes a good cup and sometimes the coffee goes right through. When that happens you get a lot of grounds in your coffee. I paid fifteen bucks for it I think and it wasn't worth it at all, maybe used it half a dozen times with the results above.

Why do you want it so hot ? so you can let it sit for ten minutes till it cools enough so you can drink it ? that doesn't make sense to me.......I drop some ice cubes in it so I don't have to wait

Those little cups blow and get grounds everywhere. They aren't big enough to make a strong cup. When you overfill them it clogs up your machine.

I've had a couple of these things and they just aren't worth it IMO. Small cups of weak coffee even on the highest settings.

If you want a quick cup as you are heading out the door don't expect it to fill your travel mug, but you will get exactly that, a quick cup as you head out the door.

I really like my coffee, and yes, it takes me a bit more time and ultimately I'm sure a few more dollars but it's worth is, but this is how I do it.

Hedge the coffee has to be hot while brewing to release the essential oils. The thing aint useless just an expensive cup of coffee that is not that great.
