Good god I do not get the appeal of this machine. I had never heard of it before and as a sucker for iced coffee when I saw this in my email I was immediately intrigued. Read so many reviews and decided to purchase. I got it today and immediately tested it out. First cup (after the clean cup) was absolutely disgusting but I figured hey it might be the pods I chose (Starbucks half blend which are absolutely disgusting) so I tried another pod I had and while the coffee itself wasn’t as bitter, the cup was absolutely disgusting overall. Temp was cold but not iced cold, but the ice made it taste incredibly watered down. I’m returning.
