Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Better Than Described! I rarely post reviews unless the product is truly exceptional and I'm thrilled. That is the case with this one! I wanted another Keurig (so I thought); a mini or slim one but the ratings were not great. That forced me to look "outside the box" and I'm glad I did! I ended up looking at a lot of K-cup makers. Here's the scoop on this one vs my old 4-cup Keurig: PROS: *Slim profile *Tall enough to place a 16oz tumbler under *Super fast (less than the advertised 3 min) (Keurig had an annoying pre-heat cycle every time so had a much longer wait time) *No time-wasting "pre-heating cycle as with my old Keurig *Shuts off after brew (Keurig used to stay on all the time and warm the water reservoir causing mold) *Detachable reservoir holds 30 oz water so I don't have to fill and measure the exact amount I want every time! *Presets for 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 Oz *It's QUIET much quieter than my old Keurig *Does not produce a "pumping sound" like my old Keurig *Pod conveniently loads from top (Keurig had to angle the k-cup for more difficult entry) *Makes a stronger brew than my old Keurig *Quality fit and finish *Pod cup for the ground coffee is quite large CONS: *You have to re-select brew size every time (It doesn't remember the last setting) but that's OK - it's a little thing and selecting brew size actually starts the brew *At the time of my purchase it is only available in black. I'd love a steel grey one. I almost bought another one similar to this (Sboly) for about the same $$ that had a cleaning cycle and high reviews but it did not look tall enough for a 16 oz tumbler, and you had to measure the precise amount of water that you wanted to brew EVERY TIME (it did not have the ability to determine cup size). I'm glad I chose this one!
