Glad it works for you, hopefully you won't have to deal with their customer service.. I will stand by my stance and never recommend this brand based off their customer service.
They would not honor their 1 year warranty based off the fact that I received the items as gift, wanted me to go back to person who gifted it and ask them for their credit card statement and receipt. Product had a manufacturer date of under 1 year so it fell well within their warranty period.
So I will steer everyone away from them when their brand comes up.

I've had an older version of this since 2017. No issue and it's still going strong. I just wish the sizes weren't 6/10/15 oz.

Horrible reviews saying it comes used/dirty/broken or that the heater/pump stops working or that the thermostat does not work and dispenses boiling water that melts parts....

Welp, you can tell them they lost a customer based off you sharing your experience. ive had companies pull that bs with me in the past and it was incredibly frustrating. They know you have no recourse because you cant do a cc chargeback and going to the gift giver is pretty uncomfortable if you dont know them well.

Well it isn't as bad as what Zinus made me do. I have one of their bed frames. I wanted to move it into another room. Problem is that the screws seem to be made for a one time use. They would not go back into the frame a second time and I was still under their warranty period. I did not strip these as they screwed in without any force. While this was junk at this point even with my receipt they wanted me to donate them to charity and send them a copy of the receipt. I was shot down at one Goodwill but the other one took it.
Never doing business with them again. This was absurd so they could lie to the government and use it as a tax write off.
You get a much smaller amount of actual coffee at a much higher price. Plus all the environmental impact of single use plastics.
Naturally, you will get some variation in answers from many people. It all "boils down" to one major factor.

A: Convenience.

I won't pay for a Nespresso pod machine as their pods are much higher in cost. But I would like to try them if they ever become competitive (they won't).
I can usually get K-cups for $0.20 - $0.25 each with deals here. Not always the Solimo or other generics either.
I use a 12-cup drip machine with pre-ground as my other main go-to. Cheap and mass quantity.
I have a French press, an Aerobee, a cheap Espresso machine, & a conical burr grinder.
K-cup coffee is easier for me in warmer months or when I have a big surplus of them to use up, and I like to get 20 oz of coffee out of one K-cup. Hate and groan if you want, but I drink 2 x 20-oz. mugs every morning. I would not mind it being stronger, but it is not too weak for me to enjoy. I also do not need double the caffeine, and decaf is not as tasty.
$0.10 per 20 oz. mug of coffee is a decent value.
Taste variations in brands or styles don't convince me to hate K-cups as I add creamer and sweeten my coffee. I just cannot spend "coffee snob" money, but love the convenience of K-cups and drip pots most.
When I make drip, I use half a cup of ground per 12-cup pot. So stronger. It is cheap and I can use my pre-ground coffee to make iced coffee in warm months.
In summation, we all have our preferences and we can change them up if we want to, but K-cups aren't going away.

for the same reason you see people walking around with water bottles instead of nalgene. because people prioritize convenience over all of what you mentioned. There is literally no other reasons. its sad and shitty, but its true.

Bella as a company is terrible and their coffee makers are junk. They pulled a trick on me for the warranty of my coffee maker. They acted like they were going to warranty my coffee maker at first but then they went silent for over a month. During that time I emailed them several times and just gave up after no responses. I threw the junk coffee maker in the garbage and forgot about it. Then they emailed me after 45 days and asked for pictures of the cord being cut and they would then send a new coffee maker. Obviously that didn't work out, by design.
