Promising review: "Still use it daily, and it's working well! It's now been almost 4 years! (Time flies when you're drinking good coffee :) I love this thing. I've been using it multiple times a day for almost a year I think. Every day it makes amazing espresso, and as long as I keep it clean it preforms beautifully. This thing is also easier to maintain and requires less cleaning than other cheaper espresso machines I've tried." — Amazonian
Promising review: "This product is an example of how to sell something common and making it premium. I am using the Mueller double-walled French press to serve coffee for at least 3 people in the morning. The large 1 L size makes at least 300mL for everyone to take to go. The coffee is not only hot but full bodied and flavorful. I'm glad I made the purchase. It's something I will use for a long time." — A. Cheung
Promising review: "This is the best coffee maker, hands down. The carafe keeps your coffee hot on its own... No burner means no burnt coffee and it stays hot for hours. This model has some really handy improvements over my old one, e.g., the display is very big, bright and easy to read and the indicator lights are also bright, so it's much easier to notice when you forget to turn the timer on!" — Tha Queen
Promising review: "We resisted the K-Cup trend for a long time, but the features of this machine won us over. We are stupidly happy to make this machine our first Keurig.
• Out of the box, it sets up incredibly easy.
• Install the filter to the water vessel, add water and you're good to go.
• You can use any K-Cup in this machine.
• Selecting 'Coffee,' you are offered four brewing volumes to choose from. 6, 8, 10 and 12 ounces.
• You can also select Latte/Cappuccino, which results in a strong shot from your pod of choice.
• The heated frother is impressive. I can't believe what it does to 2% Lactaid!
• Brewing times are very efficient and clean-up is very simple.
• The water reservoir is easy to handle, refill and reinstall.
• It's not overly noisy.
• It has a larger footprint than our classic brewer but having the heated frother is worth it.
• The design is smartly efficient and very good-looking." — Reviewer
Promising review: "This little machine was a game-changer for me. I spent weeks researching espresso machines and chose this one for 1) ease of use/cleaning 2) price 3) latte focused. Two months later, I have been consistently blown away on all three! For those who say it’s wears after some use, are you cleaning it properly? Cleaning is SUPER easy and I do it after each use and have had zero issues. You just turn the nob to “clean” and then hold down the latte button until the cleaning cycle begins. It self cleans with just one button and I have never had any issues. Also make sure to keep the water up! As long as you’re following the cleaning directions, you should have no problems! I moved from a bustling neighborhood with lots of coffee shops and I was certain I would miss it...I don’t! This machine saves me money and time, and the lattes are easily as good as the ones I would buy." — Shane and Celie
Promising review: "Great maker and smart design. I am very happy with this coffee maker. The design is very easy to use and I like that the water can be added in the front. The coffee tastes very good. I usually buy Mr Coffee but this is a much better maker and I am pleased with this purchase." — Dunk013
Promising review: "Had it for a few days now, everything works great. It takes almost no space up on the counter, I love this 5 inch wide size. Having the water reservoir is very convenient...I had considered some of the other models where you fill up each cup manually, but am glad I decided on this one, you can make several cups and not have to refill. Coffee comes out at a nice temperature, not scalding, but the temperature coffee should really be, just hot enough. Using normal k-pods, no issues so far. Having the 3 sizes is also helpful, I didn't think I'd want this, but it turns out it is useful. I would recommend and would purchase again." — Joe A
Promising review: "This is my second Aeropress. I had the first well over 5 years when the seal began loosening a little. This is a great gadget for coffee lovers! It makes a rich and delicious cup every time. I only have one or two cups a day so it's great for me. Practical and no waste. It comes with everything you need to get started, including the coffee scoop!" — JCT
Promising review: "If you've never had coffee from a Nespresso Vertuo machine, you owe it to yourself to try it out. It is a whole level beyond Keurig-type brewing. The new generation Vertuo machines use an entirely new way of making coffee by putting the coffee pod in a miniature centrifuge and using that pressure to drive the hot water through the coffee instead of using hydraulic pressure. The result is fantastic -- a rich coffee with an amazing crema that is the equal or better to any you've ever tasted. it gives a rich brewed crema to both espresso and regular coffee blends. It is super easy to use and quiet and actually is smaller than my Keurig. It gives coffee that is the equal or better to Starbucks, especially if you use a separate frother when you blend in milk or cream." — James John Hollandsworth, M.D.
Promising review: "I picked this up on a whim, having never tried pour-over coffee. After my first cup, I was hooked! Literally having used my old faithful Mr. Coffee a single time since receiving this! It's too dang easy and delicious. Prep? A breeze. Clean up? Stupid simple. Taste? Remarkable. " — Adam Pace
Promising review: "If I could give this more than 5 stars I would...It makes delicious coffee. Put some full city roast in their and fire it up and what comes out is espresso. From my readings I've gathered that its not actually espresso, as the Moka pot doesn't make enough pressure for it to be real espresso. But its playing the part convincingly, I can't tell the difference between what comes out of this and a shot of espresso. Its paid for itself a dozen times over at this point. Absolutely one of the best purchases I've ever made. I couldn't be happier.
Pros
- Excellent coffee
- Cheaper than buying espresso from coffee shops
- Tastes like coffee from espresso shops
Cons
- A bit time consuming (although I've grown to like the ritual of it)
- Can be a bit finicky to get the coffee to brew right
- Time-consuming to do a deep clean (a quick rinse is usually enough though)
If you're on the fence, buy it. You won't regret it." — Patrick
