It heats up rapidly for the pod. It could use a larger water reservoir as it needs filling a bit often. The cup size for the pod is not backlit nor do I see a display to indicate it needs water.
Overall a very nice coffee machine. Love the combination carafe with grinder, and single-serve all in one. All parts are very easily cleaned. Few things that are negative, it seems the grinder doesn't really hold enough beans to do a full pot at a typical strength coffee, and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to drain extra water in the single-serve side if it is not all used while brewing.
I love that this coffee maker can grind, as well as brew a single cup or an entire pot. What I don't like is that it's a pain to clean and the water reservoir for the single cup is too small, and requires constant filling.
I am very happy with the decision to purchase this product. I love fresh ground beans for my morning coffee, and this system makes it easy for me to achieve this. The grinder is not overly noisy, plus it has an option for a K Cup, so I can brew water for tea, or make a single cup using a K Cup, or ground coffee in a filter I already had.
Everything I need combined into one appliance! Looks beautiful sitting on my counter and replaces 3 individual appliances to conserve countertop space. Easy to use, well thought out features that make coffee brewing a delicious pleasure.
Love this!! We always had the regular coffee pot and wanted to combine that with the kcup system. The additional grinder is a nice plus too. Great product.
It’s very hard to see the water level or even how much to add. It’s all black so that’s what makes it difficult. The horn that honks after the cup brews is too loud.
We love this coffee maker! No leaks like the Keurig coffee makers. We have not tried the grinder yet but happiest with the single serve for now. We have the stainless steel one and it looks great on our new counter top! Money well spent!
