Amazon Basics Single Serve Coffee Maker K-Cup, 14 Oz, Black & Stainless Steel Machine, 5.98″D x 9.44″W x 14.17″H

Overall a good machine, at least so far. It took just a bit to get used to operating it seemkessly. The only major con is that the resvoire is not very big and therefore runs out of water pretty quickly. You really need to check it well before using, because it’s easy to assume you have enough only to get annoyed. Tales just a couple of minutes to heat up enough to start brewing. Don’t use really fine ground loose coffee because the holder will get clumped up and not seep well. So if you wish to make hit cocoa or mushroom coffee, I suggest you put it in a cup and then just use the machine to drip the hot water into it saving the hassle of heating water in a pot in the stove. Make sure you select the size of the brew first before you press another of the start buttons, especially if you want a larger brew size. Once you press start you can’t change it. In not checking the Resevoir first, it will stop and supposed to start back up after you add water but takes a few minutes so the instructions say. I’ve done it twice and was to impatient and started pushing buttons to no avail and unplugged it to reset, but that also takes a bit if you don’t leave it unplugged for a while. Probably at least 5 minutes. I’m using it basically just with tea pods and have been pretty happy. [...]
