This is a no frills machine that does what its supposed to do. It is compact and takes up minimal space on your counter, has 3 different cup settings, travel mug friendly and even has an auto shut off feature. If you are looking for a machine that can make fancy drinks then this isn’t for you. If you want to pop in a pod, push a button and get a good cup of coffee then you should definitely consider this. For best results always use a warm mug! Full disclosure - I received this product free for testing purposes.
