How are the latte's it makes? Seems like some good savings over Starbucks if they're comparable.

Search for the term "warranty" in this product's Amazon reviews. A lot of horror stories about the pod adapter breaking, pump breaking, and frustrating warranty process.

This is one of those devices that can do a lot of things but is good at none of them. Its junk.

+1. I got this during Kohl's BF and ended up returning. Nothing it makes taste good. I'm talking freshly roasted beans freshly ground, tried all settings and sizes. It's just no bueno. At this point a simple french press or traditional style coffee maker produces better tasting coffee.

Some may argue point of these machines are convenience so it's okay to trade in some flavor. But I don't find this saving too much time. It's a bit less mess and less work, but still requires regular upkeep.

For pods, the difference between a commercial grade Keurig machine and this one is night and day. Same batch same pods on two different machines taste like two complete different kinds of coffee.

I'm jealous some some people can be satisfied with this low budget machine. If I could be too my life would be just easier..

I think I'll stick with my Ninja Dual Brew, been very happy with it. Not a fan of the permanent filter you have to use with this one, I prefer using a natural paper filter.

I'm no coffee enthusiast, but this makes great coffee in pods or grounds options. I rarely use the frother but it's cool to have I guess, it's tucked away so I barely notice it. The versatility is nice and it's super easy to clean. I use zero water filtered water and with the right creamer/sweetner it tastes just fine for me. I use it about 3-5 times a week for about 6months now and zero issues.

I actually like this machine a lot, I use it when I don't have time to use my aeropress. I upgraded from some super cheap $30 single serve machine and this makes much more palatable coffee from grounds than that crappy machine did.

Been using it almost daily for the past 4-5 months, no issues.

I bought one a few months ago. My favorite coffee maker yet. Love the ability to switch between pods and ground. Makes great coffee. I have the tan version so no frother.
