1. Natalie Verified Buyer – 4 March 2024

   I am a coffee lover and I really appreciate a multi purpose coffee machine. This one has different adapters and so far I have only used the one for K cup and the one for the espresso pods – both work great. I willlll say, that as a nespresso user… I do miss that empty compartment where the used pods go – this machine doesn’t have that capability. You have to take out the adapter and then pop out the pod… carefully and patiently… because it’s hot. I lack patience and prefer to use 2 pods per cup… so I’ve learned this the hard way, lol – don’t be me, but I’m trying to get better. I have this set up at another property… so that I can have my fancy coffee while I’m away from home. Overall I love the quietness of it and the versatility, the compact size is also great… perfect for a corner.

   This is a great little machine and excellent value for money. Small enough to fit on my desk and makes good coffee. I’ve used it with Nespresso and Dolce Gusto pods, and with ground coffee, with great results each time. My only criticism is the clearance space under the spout – it’s only around 9cm so doesn’t fit taller mugs and glasses. Very easy to use and to clean. Like most pod machines the coffee cools quite quickly so I’d recommend pre warming a mug or using a double walled mug.

   Upon initial unboxing, I was **astonished** by the small footprint of this little machine. I was also surprised by the number & quality of dedicated, per-pod or brew-type attachments that were included. The pod/coffee brew group attachments are not built-in which makes removal for cleaning very quick, easy, and effective. In similar fashion, the water reservoir is also removable for quick cleaning/washing. For transparency, I have Philips 4300 fully automatic espresso/coffee maker at home, but at our vacation property we only had a traditional drip-brew Cuisinart coffee maker, which is great if I want an entire pot made for multiple adults, but still requires I bring my own coffee grounds or beans. I wanted the ability to store pre-packaged pods (long-term) this location, but still have the flexibility to brew fresh coffee from ground/pre-ground options, particularly if I was planning to be at this location for an extended period of time. This coffee maker checks all those boxes! Pros: – Compact size will fit easily under upper cabinets – Quiet operation (at least compared to my Philips 4300) make it perfect for early mornings where you don’t want to wake anyone up – Removable, washable water reservoir – Removable, washable drain pan – Swappable inserts for Keurig, Nespresso, or pre-packaged filter pods (or just regular ground coffee) make this the most versatile single-brew machine I’ve encountered – Effective boiler — drinks come out piping hot! – Nespresso pods work perfectly and crema is *beautiful* … Using pre-ground yields equally good results! Cons: – Due to compact size, this will need a very small or low-height cup – Only (2) sizes are supported. Would’ve preferred a slightly larger “small” size, but not a deal breaker. – The “priming” mechanism and directions are kinda strange… seems better to just instruct users to run a non-coffee operation to heat your cup and prime the pump. I’ll probably never follow the directions for this operation Even with the minor drawbacks, this little brew master is amazing and an absolute 5/5. If you want a compact, effective, versatile, single-server coffee maker, this is the one.

   I bought this because I wanted a machine that did drip coffee, k-cups, and Nespresso pods. I was a little uncertain because of some of the negative reviews, but a used one came up for a good price so I thought why not try it. I actually really like it! It is small, so some tall coffee mugs may not fit (keep that in mind) but it has worked well for all 3 uses that I wanted it for. It does leak a little bit when I turn it on, but it’s not that much and I just wipe it up with a paper towel. I would say it’s about the same noise level as a Nespresso Essenza Mini, so a little noisy but not bad. If you’re looking for a versatile machine that serves one person at a time, this is worth it!
   

5. Ian Verified Buyer – 6 September 2024

   I can say that I’m somewhat new to the coffee world. It wasn’t too long ago where I absolutely detested the taste of coffee and did not need it on a daily basis to get my morning going. Oh my how a few years change things. We have been using a Keurig with K cups for quite some now and it still has its place. However, having watched videos on proper coffee, technique, and people talking about how certain aspects of coffee, including the color in the richness and the acidity, and all these things that go into making the perfect cup of coffee, kind of set in with me and I was like this is weird. We weren’t getting any of that desirable Crema in our coffee cup that we brewed through this machine completely covered the top with this with the same coffee that we’ve been using before and it was amazing , so much better than using the environmentally friendly, refillable coffee pods that we’ve been using for a while. This coffee was very good and we have to attest to this new machine. We were going to receive a multitude of attachments for this, and if we took on any of the European style Coffee packages we could get the pieces for that as well. So we can actually have a good cup of coffee from a cake cup as well as loose ground coffee, as well as Nespresso pods and ESE pod, which I’m not familiar with at all the water water container on the back of the machine holds about 0.8 L , which is enough for a couple of cups. We are used to making a lot more coffee at one time so this is a new endeavor for us and that the predominant use for this machine will be to make special coffees. Not just the stuff that gets us going in the morning. we love the outside finish of the machine as it matches our refrigerator as well as our icemaker and air fryer so it fits right in with our other items perfectly. All in all this is a very good machine and a very small compact package that does the job splendidly just like the bigger commercial machines. It makes a good cup of Joe quickly and efficiently.

   This espresso’s coffee machine is very practical, you can use Nespresso pot, Italian and ground coffee for Cuban coffee, I would not recommend using k-cup as the base wouldn’t hold a regular size cup, it’s just for small espresso cup. Overall it’s easy to use and has a good heat level and pressure for foaming coffee.

   This works very well, very happy with it. Espresso time.LOL

   

8. Stephanie Party of 5 Verified Buyer – 12 November 2024

   First I want to say that I love coffee. I love to try different coffees as well. So this machine was intriguing to me since it’s a 4n1 system. I took it out of the box and was instantly impressed with all the accessories it comes with. Has a nice instruction manual and gives easy clear cut instructions. This little machine is small but mighty. doesn’t take up much counter space which is amazing considering all that it does. The water reserve tank is smaller than I thought so will need to be refilled frequently as I drink several cups of coffee throughout the day. This little machine has the ability to make regular coffee ground coffee plus, a smaller metal cup to make espresso, then it has two other attachments for K cups as well as Nespresso cups. Holy cow! So for my family, where everyone likes something different, this machine is amazing as we can all have each individual coffee without having four different machines! I’m beyond thrilled. Easy to use. I followed the instructions and got it cleaned first thing, then I started in making espresso. I packed the grounds in tight and the amazing cup of joe that I received is as good or better than paying money for Starbucks. It’s technically small enough that I could pack it in the car during travels. I’m so impressed. I highly recommend this and would definitely make a great gift especially families that enjoy other types of coffees.

   

9. Alex Verified Buyer – 2 January 2025

   Very functional and compact coffee machine. Its versatility is truly impressive – it makes coffee from K-cups, ground beans, and Nespresso pods as well as one additional method that I am not even familiar with. As an espresso machine, it is definitely an average-quality unit – though it is capable of developing fairly decent pressure, it is still having some trouble producing sufficient crema in my case. It is definitely fine for a lower-end espresso unit, but definitely not the best cup of espresso I had. K-cup and Nespresso operation is pretty typical, nothing crazy there. The machine is very compact and uses minimal space from a kitchen counter. however, with smaller sizes there is one little downside – you have to use your smallest cup to fit it under the brewer because even modest-size cups are too tall for this machine and do not fit. The biggest minus of the whole machine is the fact that all 3 brewing attachments are made of some kind of plastic which is definitely not what I like. Besides that, it is a great coffee machine that is particularly amazing for short-term rental houses and hotel-style premises. Great value for the money, by all means.

    I am absolutely thrilled with this 4-in-1 coffee machine! As a coffee enthusiast who loves to explore different flavors, this machine caught my attention right away. Upon unboxing, I was impressed by the array of accessories it came with, accompanied by a comprehensive instruction manual that made setup a breeze. Despite its compact size, this little powerhouse packs a punch. It occupies minimal counter space, which is a huge plus in my book. While the water reserve tank is smaller than expected, requiring more frequent refills, it’s a small trade-off for the versatility this machine offers. Speaking of versatility, I’m blown away by the range of beverages it can prepare. From traditional ground coffee to espresso and even compatibility with K cups and Nespresso pods, this machine does it all. It’s a game-changer for my family, catering to everyone’s unique coffee preferences without the need for multiple machines cluttering up the kitchen. Using the machine is a breeze, thanks to the straightforward instructions. After a quick clean, I dove into making espresso, and I was not disappointed. The resulting cup of coffee rivaled or even surpassed that of my favorite coffee shops, all from the comfort of my own home.

    

11. Lu Verified Buyer – 13 January 2025

    I use it for brewing coffee, cappuccino, tea, it’s comes out not so great Temperature is not good and I think it turns flavors not good at all . and I DISLIKE it EXTREMELY LOUD noise, VERY HIGH VIBRATION making things move on countertop. No way to contact the seller. No support .

    

12. Yuhui Li Verified Buyer – 22 January 2025

    I have been very satisfied with this espresso machine. The design is sleek and modern, and the overall build quality feels solid and reliable. The temperature has been excellent, I always preheat the machine by running hot water through it without a capsule beforehand, and that ensures a hotter brew. I didn’t notice any plastic taste in the water as some reviews mentioned, and found the coffee flavor really good. The noise and vibration levels are present but completely acceptable. The machine works well with a big mug, but a glass is always a better choice for expresso. Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone seeking a high-quality home espresso machine.

    

13. Eric C Toczek Verified Buyer – 17 February 2025

    The pros of this machine is it works with the old style Nespresso pods (not the new), Kcup pods as well as coffee grounds. Single button at the top to brew, hit twice for a larger brew. Overall brews some good espresso and works pretty good. Only downside is the water tank in the back is difficult to remove or work with if you’ve go the machine tucked in the corner. As you can see in the third picture there’s a rubber spout, so it’s difficult in the corner to pull out the entire water tank. You can instead lift off the lid and fill up without removing, but it can be a bit difficult and hard to gauge the level of full.

    

14. Jose E. Verified Buyer – 2 March 2025

    Nice design. Excellent water levels, Excellent coffee temperature. Very important to wait 20-45 seconds to get the right water temperature.

    

15. Edgar Verified Buyer – 3 March 2025

    I have the older Kotlie (brown design) that is excellent, just has a height restriction on cups since the base is not removable like this one is. I was excited with the redesign and tried this on sale. Unfortunately, most coffees made with the Keurig adapter or the Nespresso one (the main two I make) come out cold and I need to put them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds immediately. I’m sure that affects the flavor profile. I know they make a big effort of explaining cup height but that just isn’t it. I tried two units (coffeemakers.us.com was very patient with letting try these out) and both behaved the same. They need to tweak their heating system. I did not try running water once through before making my coffee because, I’m just not going to do that. You should be able to make a cup without having to make a dry run and without having to microwave it before drinking (note, I always add milk). Older unit as I said was excellent and if anything espressos were very hot and required a minute to cool, but I’ll take that over cold any day. Plan to try their other model as I really like this concept and like the company and hope they can sort this out.

    This is simply a fantastic and very versatile little espresso-coffee maker. I call it little because this is the smallest machine I’ve ever tested, and it sure can deliver. The machine is well-packaged and ready to go right out of the box. There are 3 different coffee delivery trays depending on which method you’re using – pod, k-cup, Illy cup, or ground espresso. I used ground espresso coffee since that’s what I had on hand. The espresso tray comes with a two-scoop 51mm basket, which loads like any other espresso machine. Once loaded, simply select 2 or 6oz for the size of your coffee. You can adjust the amount of water dispensed based on your preference. The manual is very well-written, and instructions are easy to follow and understand. The machine also comes with a plastic scoop and tamper and little pump to prime the water system when used for the first time. If you make a lot of espressos, it’s well worth getting a proper tamper and distributor to ensure a perfect cup of espresso every time. The espresso machine produced a perfect cup of espresso without delay and with very little noise. Basically, this machine is ideal for small apartments or offices. The water tank holds enough water to get about 4 cups of coffee, depending on if you run water to warm your cup. But the end result is very delightful and impressive. One observation I had was that if you’re making more than one cup of espresso, handling the metal basket will be challenging as it will be hot from the first cup. The lower cup holder tray is removable to accommodate larger coffee cups. Overall, a great versatile machine that takes very little room on the countertop, makes a great cup of coffee/espresso and would make an impressive gift for yourself or that someone special. A great quality product, well worth every penny and highly recommended!

    2 stars because it does not tell you that you will need the strength of man to close it !!! I bought this for my 82 yr old mom and she absolutely can Not use it nor push down the plunger handle to make a k pod cup of coffee 😠 and it’s so short you can just get a reg 10oz mug under it with taking off the cup holder . It’s functional attributes -5☆’s , and it’s Loud make the same noise as my Naspresso makes when making a great espresso…
    

18. Netsie Verified Buyer – 7 March 2025

    I have used this machine daily for several months now with ZERO issues. It makes a good double espresso or lungo. I like how easy it is to setup, use, program and how it makes nice frothy top espresso with deep flavor.
    I took off the little cup stand with the drip catcher so maybe that’s why I don’t have any issues with the rattling and cups moving around like some of the reviews said. Also the espresso is hot enough for me but I admit it’s not boiling but I don’t like to wait to quickly drink my espresso so it’s okay for me.
    I bought it for it’s flexibility but I ended up only using if with Lavazza grounds, the espresso is much better with grounds than using the KCup.
    I’m super happy with it and would recommend it.

    Llevo un mes y hasta el momento ha sido muy buena
    

20. Alecia Verified Buyer – 25 March 2025

    This is the worst coffee maker ever. I would give it no stars. It is small, can only hold 2 cups of water. It is loud and shakes when making coffee causing my coffee cup to drop off the edge and spill! Great way to start a Monday morning cleaning up spilled coffee. Coffee is never hot, just warm. I have to microwave it after making. I hate it!
    

21. bclmb Verified Buyer – 2 April 2025

    This is my fourth electronic espresso machine and the very nicest espresso machine I have had. I didn’t need this but when I saw it I wanted to give it a try. It’s not perfect – but it’s about as close as you can get in this price range. First, it has a very slim form – shockingly slim and attractive. It comes with contraptions/adaptors for utilizing all the most popular pods or coffee types available – maybe not all that there are but certainly a lot of options. It can take a K-cup pod, Nespresso pod, Dulce Gusto, re-usable K-cup, freshly ground coffee bean or even instant coffee. I had to find a couple of videos to watch because the book was ridiculously complicated and a lot to read. It’s actually pretty simple to use once you learn the steps – which are important to do in the correct order. Unlike most espresso machines, it has 7 water dispensing levels. In my photo you can see the green lights – each green light setting represents 2 ounces. I measured the output on all of them and they are spot on – no exceptions. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and even 14 ounce water output. What this means is, you can make an Americano with this unit without having to add your own water later, it does the entire process for you, and froths the water and coffee together so brilliantly that the taste is amazing. Americano is my favorite drink but read on, because I did do a couple of other things with this that the book or instructions don’t discuss. It comes with a nice little rubber mat where the coffee mug sits, to prevent the cup from vibrating around. This is important because if you place this on a fabric mat it’s going to really vibrate. As you can see, I put mine directly on the counter and the rubber feet on the coffeemaker really make it stable when the surface beneath is solid instead of fabric. The water tank is rather small, maybe only holds a quart and a pint. Not terrible, just pay attention, and because the feet make it difficult to pull and push this unit around on the counter, I would suggest placing it where you can easily refill it without being required to move it around. Also, once your drink is dispensed, I recommend leaving the tray for a few minutes to allow any residual water to drip out – the catchall tray beneath does catch any extra drips and this will prevent you from spilling drops of coffee on the counter, if that is an issue you don’t like to do. It heats up SUPER fast from cold to hot – in just seconds – however, the water is never super hot. It always makes coffee at just around 147 degrees. This is the one (slightly weak) point where it is not perfect. My photo shows the readable temp (a bit fuzzy) at 146.7, which is OK for me, but my husband does like his a bit hotter, and there is no way of raising the temperature without microwaving it for a few seconds afterward This is not a major issue for me since the resulting coffee is so tasty and exactly the right texture, but some folks might disagree. I made every type of coffee I had on hand, same delicious results. I even tried it with instant mushroom coffee to see how that turned out – and to my surprise it is my favorite, simply because of the way this machine handles the water and delivers it with Bubbles in your cup (almost tastes frothed). I also did something else (which might not be recommended but it works). I used the little tray pictured in my last photo – the same one I used for the instant coffee, and this time after making a 6 oz cup of coffee, I filled this little tray (not quite to the top) of eggnog. Then I set the water dispense setting to the lowest – 2 oz and let it push the eggnog into my coffee mug. It was incredible! I used coconut eggnog but any would work because it does not go through the coffee maker, instead the coffeemaker delivers water through the pod area to dispense the contents, which in this case is the eggnog, so it does water it down a bit. No damage is done to the unit and you remove the tray and rinse, with no issues whatsoever. The trick to the water dispenser – unlike other drip style or pour-over styles is that the water does not drip straight through, it is pushed into the dispensing area then goes around the area in sort of an S and moves to another drip-out location, which creates the bubbles/air in the the delivered contents. Genius!!! I love this. I love how quickly it heats the water. It is a little on the loud side – but tolerable. It delivers the amount of water designed for each dispense level. It is so versatile and it has all the attachments to make just about anything you want in the way of a hot drink. Great little invention and addition to my coffee center.

    The picture you can see I brewed Peet’s major dickinson roast got creamy and amazing and the orient cup is a espresso pod . I’m so happy with this coffee machine 3×1. I also get k pods and brew all everyday . Love love it

    

23. maryam Verified Buyer – 8 April 2025

    What I like about this machine is that I can make coffee from K-cups, Nespresso pods, and ground coffee. I won’t be limited to buying only one type of capsule. The taste of the coffee is good. The only thing I don’t like is the size of the cup. It’s not possible to use a large cup. Another downside is the leaking after it’s done brewing.
    

24. Ben Verified Buyer – 9 April 2025

    I got this because not only does it do all the different pods but it also does ground coffee. This little machine hides a beast! Compact, easy to use, comes with the different pod holders/ground coffee etc. love the bar display on top which indicates how much and how long is left (the bars light up initially and go out as the coffee is dispensed. The instructions say it can do cold coffee too – haven’t tried that but tbh I use it every day flipping from different companies pods easily. If you like a variety of coffee then this is definitely the machine for you. Easy to clean, easy to swap pod dispenser, a doddle to fill with water and one touch for a great brew.
