Mecity Coffee Maker 3-in-1 Single Serve Coffee Machine, For K Pod Coffee Capsule Pod, Ground Coffee Brewer, Loose Tea maker, 6 to 10 Ounce Cup, Removable 50 Oz Water Reservoir,…

I have gone through two K cup coffee machines in the last month. One was a simple one like this and made nice hot coffee like this. Unfortunately that one took from 80 seconds to 300 seconds to make a cup of coffee depending on the size and it was inaccurate by 2 oz per cup.
This one makes nice hot coffee in about 1 min 20seoncds. Temp for 167 to 169F in the cup, and 194F our of the machine (cup cools it down from room temperature). This is key in having i nice hot cup of coffee. Once you press the power button (which is touch sensitive as well as all the buttons) it start brewing right away at a slower pace compared to others. But I like this because you get a stronger better tasting cup of coffee.
I like strong coffee and this is just about there (I only use bold coffees like Starbucks Italian & Keurig Sumatra). The reason why I say almost there is this machine actually pours 1oz more of coffee.
So 6oz is 7oz, 8oz is 9oz and 10oz is 11oz. For most people this won’t be an issue at all.
For me it’s only a small issue because it makes hotter coffee than my Keurig, and Ninja Duel Brew Pro.
I know why did I buy another machine then. I like to change pots just like my wife likes to change curtains, throw pillows etc.
It could be the extra ounce is because of the left over in the heater element. This machine doesn’t end by blowing air out and the end of the cycle like others do.

The bottom line. if you want a really nice looking coffee machine that brews a hot nice cup of coffee in just the right amount of time, then you can’t go wrong.

Don’t let price fool you. You get what you pay for and this one gives you way more for the price of the machine. If you can wait, just ad it to your wish list. I goes on sale from time to time.

One last note. It comes with two adapters to use for coffee or tea. Both which hold a fairly good amount of either.

Update 9/1/23
I used the regular grind coffee filter and adopter and this holds a lot of coffee grinds. This is the first K cup machine where I could use regular grinds and make a strong cup of coffee. In the photo I added it shows the size of a K cup and the filter. Realize that depending on the k cup you could have from half of the k cup size filled with coffee to about 7/8. They are never full. Compare this filter to any other and you will see it’s larger than anything else. So if you only want a k cup every once in awhile and prefer ground coffee this is the machine for you. I am amazed how well this machine is performing compared to all my branded machines. A true winner in my book.

Decided to try this coffee machine based on price vs replacing our old brand machine when it stopped functioning. So far no real issues. The reservoir isn’t as large as we are accustomed but is certainly sufficient. The overall size is much more compact giving extra counter space which is a plus. The k cups fit great but little more manual to remove than our old machine, but no big deal for the cost difference. The buttons are clear abs easy to understand for use. The coffee brews quickly and tastes great. Only thing now is to see how long it lasts.

If you like hot coffee, this is the unit for you. I am astounded how hot a cup of coffee this thing makes. I usually enjoy a splash of creamer in my coffee and even after pouring cold creamer in my cup, the coffee is still quite hot.

This unit has settings for 6, 8 or 10oz brews. I find that I don’t get quite that full amount in my cup. This could be caused by the retention of liquid in the k-cup itself. However, I do get a consistent amount of coffee for each brew volume selected. I enjoy getting a 14oz cup of coffee from my darker roast k-cups. The nice thing about this unit is that I can select an 8oz cup and let it brew. Then once complete I can cycle the power and then select a 6oz brew to get my 14oz cup. What is nice is that I don’t have to lift the lid on the k-cup itself between the two brew cycles.

The 50oz reservoir is easy to fill. I like that I don’t have to remove the tank from the unit to fill it. Simply removing the lid allows for the tank to be easily filled. I am using distilled water in my unit because my water is moderately hard. Harder water can destroy the boiler and supply lines in devices like this very quickly. So, if your water is even somewhat hard, I would suggest using distilled or bottled drinking water to ensure the longevity of your unit. The coffee maker almost immediately starts dispensing coffee once you hit the brew button. Then entire brew time takes about 1 to 2 minutes depending on the brew volume selected.

One thing to be aware of with this unit is that there is a size limitation to the cup that can be used. Tall travel mugs will not fit under this unit at all. You will have to brew into a standard size cup and transfer it to your travel mug. Additionally, if you have large diameter cups, they might not fit under the unit very well. I have some pretty large diameter cups, but only the largest of the large wouldn’t fit under the unit.

Because this unit makes such a hot cup of coffee, it billows out a large amount of steam when brewing. This steam travels up the control panel and condenses a bit. I was initially worried that this steam condensation might cause problems with the control panel. However, after two months, I haven’t had any issues.

Besides k-cups, you can also brew your own ground coffee in the included k-cup adapter. This is a nice feature and works quite well. The only drawback to using the k-cup adapter is cleaning it out. Even after dumping most of the grounds in the trash, you are going to have to rinse some grounds down the drain cleaning the adapter out.

Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase of the Mecity Coffee Maker. I think if you are looking to get a k-cup compatible machine, you should give the Mecity some serious consideration.
