Bought with the matching toaster and they look awesome together. Everyone thinks the toaster is a radio. Haha!
This is a very compact EXCELLENT coffee maker that pack a punch! I was surprised at how good & strong my cup of coffee tasted - & this was with generic ground coffee. Very easy to use. Comes with a convenient ground coffee filter (which I used) as well as a K-Cup filter. To clean up I found that unplugging, putting the entire thing in the sink, and THEN removing the filter works best. Turn the tap water on to wash the filter & base. Love this Horavie Single Serve Coffee Maker!!
I picked this stainless steel coffee press because I thought it was made in the USA but it is not and I didn’t like that. The description gave the impression that it was. Unfortunately there is a tiny piece of metal, I’m assuming it’s metal since that what it sounds like, stuck between the insulated walls so it rattles when pouring or cleaning the kettle. Annoying. Poor workmanship? I decided not to return it. I like this one better than the glass one that I did return. The coffee doesn’t stay hot too very long unless your a quick drinker. Overall it’s okay.
This is a very solid machine. There are things I like about it and one thing I really don't like about it. Let's start with what I like about it. It makes great expresso and foam! The problem is there is not a setting to tell the pot to make 1 or 2 shots I have to stand in front of the machine and watch it to shut the expresso function off when it brews the amount of expresso I want. Every other machine I have had has a setting for how many shots, this doesn't. When I was learning the machine I thought I missed something in the instructions to set the amount of shots, nope you have to stand over it which can be a problem for me as sometimes when I am tired I forget and start wandering in the kitchen to come flying back to an overflow, I am used to a setting, hard to teach an old dog new tricks. When making coffee with my old machine I would do other things while it is brewing, I can't do that with this one which is a little frustrating. The frothing function works great once I figured it out, I learned you have to turn the frothing function dial all the way on to get steam only, if you turn the dial down towards off it not only lessens the steam but it adds water, at one point it was only hot water coming out not any steam, I don't know about you but watered down milk is not my idea of good. I like the top is flat so I can store my tools up there, the expresso pot/frothing pot etc. This does work great once you learn the machine but I am not sure it is worth the price with a key component missing, a shot setting on the machine.
I had to laugh when I took this out of the box because it’s so little, but it is for a single serving after all. That makes it cute. I wondered if it was for demitasse cups when I took it out of the box, but it does make a mug’s worth of coffee or tea. I’m single and only ever one serving at a time, so now I can use loose teas and coffee again and help eliminate some of the plastic waste of kcups and do my bit for the environment. Great find.
Super easy to assemble, use, and clean. Looks great as well and fits in refrigerator door just as described. After removing filter and grounds I top it off with water which is perfect strength for me. One pot lasts me three days. I use a grind custom for cold brew which is fairly coarse. Even buying pricey coffee and using a considerable amount to cold brew, it's still way cheaper than visiting the coffee shop daily. And it's ready when you wake up!
Unboxing and setup is quick and easy. Operation is straightforward with only three buttons (power, brew on/off, and steam on/off), and a single dial to control the steam or hot water dispense. There is a lot of space under the spouts to place a mug, and I really like that the drip tray is completely removable for extra space. The steam function is especially strong, and the milk is heated and frothed very quickly! No dosing funnel is included, but the scoop and tamper works well to fill the portafilter and tamp the espresso grounds. Once the brew button is pushed, the brewing will continue until it is pushed again...this could be useful for anyone who likes a more diluted espresso shot. There is no low water level detection...actually, I was able to run the brew function and the steam function without the water tank installed. The pressure gauge works well to provide user feedback during the brewing, but there are no pressure psi/kpa markings...only text for 'pre-infusion' and 'espresso' ranges. The single and double filter inserts for the portafilter are notched so that they remain in place until the notch is lined up. This is a unique feature, and was useful for emptying the spent grounds. After only two uses, I feel like I know this machine and can make really great espresso drinks with it !
This was my first attempt at a French press. I like the coffee a lot. The process is very simple & I liked this model for the look & the price. I’m sure to be careful handling it because it’s glass. I can’t explain the crack that I discovered today! I’ve only used it 8-10 times. I’m very disappointed with finding the crack today. I haven’t contacted the manufacturer yet, but I do plan to do so. It seems that the glass carafe isn’t thick enough to handle 200 degrees Fahrenheit water, but that’s the recommended temperature for making coffee in a French press. It did make great coffee, functioned well & it was easy to clean…but that doesn’t matter if it cracks in under 60 days.
Makes great coffee although a pain to clean. However if you use it for a couple of years after awhile the grading process wears on the inner walls of the grinder and as evidenced in the image a pretty big area of the inner wall of the grinder cup has worn away meaning that the plastic from the grinder cup ends up in the grounds cup and even with the filter might put micro-plastic particles in your coffee. Great idea but possibly a hazard down the road.
The handle fell off after a couple time uses.
This jar and filter are wonderful for making cold brew coffee. We just finished a week of vacation and this how we made coffee every day. Put the coffee grounds in the filter and then filled with water. Let it sit til the next day and we did this everyday. The size is perfect for 2 people (or 1 if you like 2 cups coffee a day). The handle on the lid makes it easy to grab and pour. I love this.
I started having issues with this machine not heating. I called Keurig. I was informed my purchase I made through coffeemakers.us.com was for a K10. Someone apparently switched the unit. I feel ripped off as I purchased a K15. I had only used it about 8 times. Check your model numbers!
The first time I tried it I accidentally tried to load my NS capsule in upside down. The directions are clear and fairly easy to follow, you just have to read them all the way through before using, unlike what I did! It comes with additional attachments so you can use multiple kinds of espresso (including loose grounds). You can also use either cold or hot water, depending on what you have on hand to start working with. It makes a decent espresso shot for a small gravity based machine on the go, but I wouldn't plan to use this everyday. No crema is formed and that is the only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 - that would require more pounds of pressure than a small battery powered unit like this could produce, but the espresso is pretty good tasting just the same. For those of you expecting to use this for regular American coffee, know that it only holds 30-60ML of water at a time (enough for one single shot or a double shot) and it takes 5 minutes to heat that little water up before brewing it... so you'll be waiting a very long time for enough hot water to fill an Americano. It really is an espresso brewer only for something like camping. Now, if you were just taking it on vacation to a hotel so that you didn't have to drink hotel room coffee, you could absolutely use the hotel's hot water and add it directly to the espresso shot.
I use this to make cold brew and iced tea. Its so easy. Its small enough to fit in the fridge bit large enough to pour over a couple glasses of ice.
