This product did not live up to my expectations. I bought it for the versatility of being able to brew both K cups and carafes. There are many places where grounds can get stuck and it requires almost daily cleaning so that grounds do not get in your coffee. The carafe is poorly made, there are crevices where water can get in and it is hard to get out then the dirty water will go into your cup when you pour from the carafe. be careful as I thought it had an actual steamer not just a froth or. The coffee that it bruise is just OK. I have had it just over a year and it will probably be replacing it this summer. Other coffee makers I’ve had have lasted me multiple years.
