Not Sure Reviews are Trustworthy
At this time if you search single serve coffee makers and sort by average review, this item pops up first. And as such i just want to warn you that most of the 61 reviews here look to be fake. I checked 40+ of the 61 reviewers and only 3 had reviewed multiple items. Additionally most of the reviews here are very short... and i know from my perspective, if i'm going to take the time to review something i'm going to write more than a sentence or two. And finally most of the reviews as of today 6/18/13, were written in the last 45 days.
If you want to flame me for giving it 3 stars without having used the product that's fine, but it seemed like the only way to differentiate this review so that more people might see it... and i don't think one 3 star review is going to hurt the overall rating.
Anyway, this might be a fine coffee maker... but don't rely too heavily on the reviews found here.
works but stuck with their expensive disposable coffee trays
I have a Hamilton single serve which looks identical to this and i love (and costs less too). The pods are 25 cents each and it works fantastic with no clean up. This item is the same....except it has disposable trays...so you have to buy their VALET coffee which is 50 cents a serving! I"m paying so much extra i should just buy another Hamilton and save the money in coffee in a month! Also you can't reuse the plastic trays-- they curl up god knows what chemicals they pit in your food as they melt. AND the Hamilton trays won't fit in this machine, so you're stuck. Really wish they'd make it obvious this isn't like other single services you can put your own coffee sacks in.
Absolutely horrible
I am so sorry I bought this. The coffee is not very hot and tastes awful. The unit would have a redeeming feature if you could use your own coffee when you dislike theirs but there appears to be no coffee holder basket available made either by this manufacturer or an independent one. Indeed, the seller states " The sale of these brew baskets to you ("Buyer") is conditioned on your agreement, and a requirement that, the BREW BASKETS can only be used with filter packs, beverage dispensers, or the like acquired from SELLER or an authorized agent of SELLER". Since the coffee is contained is said filter packs, the company has attempted to force all future purchases for this machine from them. I hate "being forced", especially if I do not like the product. I would highly recommend against the purchase of this machine. As it is, mine is going on the trash pile.
