* First, run a cup of water through it into your cup with No Pod. This pre-heats the machine, AND your cup.
* Then put about 6-9 oz of fresh cold water (not the hot water you just made) in the tank, insert the pod, and let it start. This will take about 2-3 minutes to heat. During this time dump your cup of hot water. Also do not do the full tank size (12oz) unless you are going for weak coffee.
* It will start making noise before it starts dispensing. Do NOT put your cup under it yet. You will see that the first part of the "coffee" is clear water and not fully hot. This is the main flaw in this machine. Wait about 2-5 seconds (it will drain into the little drip tray). When you start to see medium-strong coffee coming out, THEN PUT IN YOUR CUP and enjoy the rest.
* This, combined with finding good pods from a brand and type you like, can make this a half-decent machine.
Other notes: I initially thought this would be good for an RV. However, even though "Mini," it is quite large, in height especially. The truth is I prefer a Nespresso Mini which uses the small original-style Nespresso pods. The Mini Nespresso is actually quite a bit smaller and lighter than this Keurig device. Also I like the espresso-style coffee better. Yes, those are also environmentally non-optimal, but if you get either Nespresso or Peet's brand, which are the metal containers, they have recycling programs where you can send them back. The "off-brand" plastic pods are not recyclable, and also, I've found, tend to have inferior coffee and not work well in some machines.

However the Keurig style was never meant to be an espresso machine, and does not use pressure, other than what is needed to pump the hot water and let it drip through the pod. Also it was optimized for the consumer market that is used to 8-12 oz cups of coffee, or should I say "mugs" maybe even 16-20 oz (a Venti, I guess...). That's a different style of coffee. And it's true that a lot of the Keurig-style products I've tried are just inferior coffee, probably made for a market that is used to the old "coffee shop" style endless mugs of mediocre coffee.
So it depends on what you are looking for.

Not as convenient to clean etc, but levels better in taste
Our water cooler has a hot tap that I use and it's perfect
