Great coffeemaker and compact too!
Second Update: who has time to update a review twice? Well I am just relaxing with a cup of coffee made in this brewer which is still working great after almost 3 years of daily use. I am thinking of ordering another one to keep as a spare in case the first one dies but it's still working like new. I am very pleased with this little machine. So compact and easy to use.Update: Used this coffeemaker every day for almost a year now. It's compact so we brought it on vacation also. Still EXTREMELY pleased with it. Works perfectly, never malfunctions and brews a great hot cup of coffee. We use Peet's Major Dickason blend with about 9oz. of water - excellent dark strong euro flavor.Bought this coffeemaker so my wife could make a single cup of coffee in the afternoons or evenings without having to make a larger pot with our regular coffeemaker. Wanted something compact to hide in kitchen cabinet or at least not take up much space on counter top. It does a great job, and she can pick from dozens of types and flavors. Works with any brand Kcup I think (she has used 3 different brands so far). It makes great tasting coffee, quite hot, and you can use any size cup or mug you want. A typical coffee mug holds about 10-12 ounces and is perfect size for this machine. You could easily fit a larger mug up to about 16 ounces. You simply pour a mugful of water into the top of the machine, drop in a Kcup, close the lid, place the mug in the machine and press the start button. The water heats up, the machine pumps it through the Kcup and into your mug, then shuts itself completely off. Total time about 3 minutes. So far very pleased. Hope it keeps working for years.

Cute! And functional!
Like other reviewer‘s, this little machine is very small and compact. It takes up so little counter top real estate, and that’s one of the reasons I adore it.Super easy to use and it puts out a mighty hot cup of coffee. I drink my coffee, black and I am notorious for liking very, very hot coffee and this little guy does the trick. The one thing I will warn you about and again other, Amazon reviewer‘s had said this, to cycle about three or 4 cups of water before you use it. When I put the 1st cup of water in without any coffee, the water came out fine meaning there was no chemical or plastic smell but regardless, I cycled in about three or 4 cups of water before I made my 1st cup of coffee.The only drawback and it’s really not a drawback is because it’s so small it is very light. So if you have a crazy cat that likes to run on countertops, this could easily be pushed right off. Or if you accidentally hit it while you were there to cleaning your countertops, this thing would move very easily. I strategically put it between two other appliances and that’s how I’m getting away or around this little issue.But overall winner, especially at this price!

It's possessed.
I bought this may 3rd 2021. MY dudes I followed the instructions exactly, did nothing out of the ordinary. I don't even use it everyday. Then on this most gloomy Sunday morning I start it up like normal. It starts vibrating, then shaking loudly. Shaking so badly the cup is getting knocked around. It starts spewing coffee grounds everywhere, before letting out this high pitched shriek that alerted the demons of hell that the time is now. The top expodes open expelling smoke and hot water. The outlet is now sparking, my neighbor is banging on my door yelling that she knows I have an illegal cat and she's calling maintenance. I'm hitting the button but it still won't go off. I hate the breakers to shut down all electrical in the kitchen. The power is off its dark except for the glow of that dang button. But hey nothing is sparking. It shrieks again, I guess telling the demons they're gonna have to wait another day for invasion. It gives one last shake. The maintenance man comes in just in time to see it sputter once more water and coffee grounds. All that's left now is smokey air and the stench of burnt coffee grounds and what can only be the stench of Satan's disappointment, or the neighbors because it's obvious I have no cat. The maintenance man has no idea if we need an exorcism or an electrician, he happens to know a priest who was a former electrician. No lasting damage and all outlets are functioning normally. I didn't get my coffee but I'm sure awake now.
