Nice little coffee machine, but I'm more of a French press type. Buy a French press, about 20 bucks, and a pack of ground coffee filters. Use two ground coffee filters with the metal mesh filter. For me, It packs a strong punch, and you don't get the inconvenience of coffee grounds. Works well for me.

Quote from Deal2go :

All these coffee making machines are garbage waste of time.

Boil milk in a pot, add Nescafe instant coffee and some sugars, pour the milk and serve. Better tasting coffee and more inconvenient!

Nescafe instant coffee is what I have been drinking for the last 25 years and always the best and no mess!

If you travel and stay at a hotel or in a restaurant, that's different thing but at home that is best option!

You are looking at entirely two different things. This product brews fresh coffee for you which is totally better tasting than instant coffee.

I have had coffee with milk for almost 34 yrs of my life with auntentic Arabica coffee from coffee estates in India and I am a coffee lover. Instant coffee is one of the worst things to have. Its like instant noodles. It serves its purpose, but never the best thing to have.

I have been brewing my own coffee for last two years with these cheap machines and love em more than Instant coffee. Give it a try! Not everyone loves milk in their coffee too.

Does it have mechanical power switch or digital? For me mechanical is must for google assistant morning routine with a smart plug.

Plastic. And garbage, just like all Bella products.

You're getting what you're paying for.

First review shown:
"Bought this coffee maker and it worked great at first -- for $20 I was impressed. It worked for 2 months and then a plastic part which closes and attaches to the underside of the lid just broke off, it's no longer usable. I contacted Bella and at first received a return email to include proof of purchase, a picture of the serial number and other details. I did. I've sent and resent and resent that email multiple times and never received another response. You get what you pay for -- I still think this thing should have lasted more than 2 months. In retrospect, I would add money and buy something that I could trust would work longer than 2 months."

Pretty decent sized coffee machine for 2 person.
They are cheaply made and only worth $9.99
Maximum scoop of coffee you can put is about 4 scoops.
1 cup per scoop pretty much. otherwise it will easily overflow and make a big mess.
pretty hard to clean afterward if it does that.

Are there any good coffee makers that are stainless steel or glass inside? I am planning to buy one but unable to find any non plastic ones.

FWIW, we have a '10 cup' coffee maker, and my wife and I brew '6 cups' every morning. I think each 'cup' is like 6oz, so its not like an actual coffee mug per 'cup'. We didn't realize that when we bought ours. pretty sure this would maybe fill 2 standard coffee mugs

edit: we don't have this specific machine
