A lot of bang for your buck!
You can’t beat the price and it comes with a thermos. It’s not the best insulated thermos but I have plenty of those already. I love that I can use coffee grounds or j-cups. I like being able to control the strength of my coffee by using coffee grounds.

So far, so good!!!
Brews a good cup of coffee. Has the option of k-cup or grounds. Is not the sturdiness unit I've had, but so far, so good for a good price.

Does the basic job at a more-than-basic price
Purchased this as a replacement for my previous k-cup coffeemaker, a $20 W** Mart off-brand that surprisingly lasted 6 - 7 years under constant use. I would have bought another of the same model, but sure enough, it was discontinued. Amazon offered several similar coffeemakers for twice the price of my old one. I finally settled on this one for $37, despite mixed reviews.So far, this coffeemaker does the basics. It's the right size for the space in my kitchen and handles both k-cups and ground coffee. It's quieter than my previous single-cup coffeemaker, except for the annoying beeping when it finishes. Other reviewers mentioned it being too slow, but to me it works quickly, freshly brewing a large mug of coffee in about three minutes. I'm not sure why, but the coffee tastes a little better than what my old machine brewed. Good so far.On the downside, it doesn't feel very solid. Basically, I paid twice the price of my old machine for something half as sturdy. It also splatters coffee as it fills the mug. I may need a taller mug or something to boost regular coffee mugs a little higher. You also need to be careful that the bottom of the k-cup is fully seated and punctured. This is a new one on me after many years of using other single-cup machines. If the k-cup bends around or misses the spike you end up with a surprise cleaning project. It was an utter ray of sunshine.All things considered, this works as described. I knocked off a star due to cheap design vs. price. I have my doubts about longevity, but maybe this will surprise me as much as the last one.P.S. I eventually found my previous coffeemaker on Amazon for more than twice the price I paid at the big blue retailer. The only difference was they had removed the 'Home Essentials' branding and slapped an 'Amazon Basics' label on it.

Poor quality coffee maker
This economy grade k-cup coffee maker stopped working 4 months after regular daily use.Do yourself a favor and spend a little more money and purchase a good quality k-cup maker. The extra cost should be worth the investment.
