Mixpresso Single Cup Coffee Maker | Personal, Single Serve Coffee Brewer Machine, Compatible with K-Cups | Quick Brew Technology, Programmable Features, One Touch Function (Dark Grey)

I was tired of my Keurig Elite taking up huge swaths of counter space in the kitchen when it only got used two or three times a day. Enter a month-long search for a smaller model. This one was very small and came with decent reviews. After almost a month of using it, I'm pretty happy with it. I took it through the manual's recommended washing before first use and haven't gotten any kind of 'plastic' taste from it. It uses the reusable k-cup filters well, and is simple to use. The coffee or tea comes out hot enough for me and tastes as good as any other coffee machine. The downsides: you have to fill the resevoir every time you want a cup, and it uses all the water in it to make that cup. I keep a dedicated measuring cup next to it just for that purpose and it works well - coffee mugs aren't great at pouring neatly. It also takes around two minutes to heat up the water, so it's best to start it before you need the coffee. Other than that, I'm happy with it - it definitely takes up less counter space and I still get my coffee without much trouble.

It's excellent! Arrived on time, easy to use, makes a nice hot cuppa coffee. I followed the de-scaling instructions to clean before first brew and there is no plastic taste. Happy with my purchase.

I have been enjoying my mixpresso since purchasing it in middle of December. I was slightly nervous about the little amount of water required but it makes a good amount and the coffee is always nice and fresh. The design is not the sturdiest so I do hope it lasts. Time will tell but right now it’s doing it’s job, not taking up to much space; and making a tasty cup of coffee !

The simplicity is nice. Just fill the water reservoir and press the power button. The power shuts off automatically when done. The power cord stores inside the machine for travel, and it is also nice for kitchen use because you only have to expose the length needed for a neat look. The cup height can only be about 4 inches. With the drip tray removed it can be up to about 4.5 inches. Unfortunately non of my mugs fit without tilting it to go underneath the dispenser. I knew about the 10 ounce limit and that is all I drink, but my mugs happened to be too tall for this machine. It is not 1200 Watts as shown in the web page (at the time of this purchase). It is a misprint as confirmed by the manufacturer and they are going to fix the description to say 800 Watts. In actuality, I measure the wattage at 710, so it was disappointing that it takes about 3 minutes to brew a cup. That does not seem much, but that extra 2 minutes seems like a long time when you are used to the full-size Keurig with pre-heated water.

The unit works well but only makes half a mug of coffee. Disappointing
