I received a complimentary k-express machine for review purposes. 

I will say that I like the machine's small size and it's simplicity. It does a good job doing what it was designed to do and is quiet doing that job. 

It's only flaws are what I feel every single cup/pod coffee machine has. The coffee itself is not great (tried my own grounds with a reusable cup in the past). Then if you get the pods. You create a lot of waste. If someone really insists on getting a Keurig. I would recommend but that would be after I try and get them to go with alternative single cup coffee makers ie french press or aeropress.
