cheap product

I was looking forward to a single-serve coffee maker since I am single and don't want to brew a whole pot every day (even a 4-cup pot was too much.) In theory, this machine is a great idea. The pods are convenient and I don't think they are particularly expensive (although I don't use them every day, so...)

My biggest problem was the cheap manufacture of the machine. I don't care that it's plastic, but the open and close mechanism is nearly impossible to use. Its difficult to get it closed properly, and while struggling with that, you tend to unseat the pod and have to start all over. Once you finally get it closed, it performs well...if you like your coffee on the cool side. Add a little cold milk to your cup and you might as well just go ahead and ice it! It's also pretty loud, so much so that I worried my apartment neighbors would hear it. Once done, it's another struggle to get the thing open again to toss the used pod.

Like I said, single use machines are a great idea and work particularly well for me, but I'm buying myself a Flavia. It's more expensive, but we have one at my office and it's well worth it!

Great coffee, flimsy machine

I received this coffee maker as a gift two years ago. As a mechanical engineer, the machine itself makes my heart cry. The parts are a flimsy plastic that have been cracking slowly but surely over time. The pod holder is difficult to open and it feels like the handle will break if you push the end. I haven't had any problems with leaking or lukewarm coffee; the coffee itself comes out hot and tastes good. The only issue I've had is cracked parts.
