Our verdict

A single-serve machine that takes both pods and grounds, with a lift platform for travel mugs and a large reservoir for several cups. It is not dishwasher safe, and the listing mentions no carafe or timer.

Overview

A solo coffee drinker, commuter or dorm resident gets a single-cup brewer that takes K-Cup pods or ground coffee in the included reusable filter. A keypad starts the brew, and the cup lift adjusts to the mug.

Taking pods and grounds in one machine lets quick mornings use a pod and slower ones use fresh beans. The adjustable lift fits a travel mug, while overheat protection and a low-water warning cover safety. Parts need hand washing.

Who it's for

Commuters with a travel mug and small households get several cups per fill and a short brew time. Groups that need a carafe, and owners who want dishwasher-safe parts, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Takes pods and ground coffee
  • Adjustable lift for travel mugs
  • Large reservoir for several cups
  • Reusable filter included
Cons
  • Not dishwasher safe
  • No carafe or large brew size
  • Not smart home compatible
  • Warranty not listed

Performance notes

Hot water is pushed through the pod or through the grounds in the filter basket, so grind fineness and scoop size control strength. The brew size selection decides how much water passes through, and a smaller cup gives a stronger result than a larger one. Overheat protection cuts the heater if it runs hot.
