In fairness, when it makes something, that something is decent. The water carafe is also undifficult to refill.
Enough with the praise. I use this thing because I paid for it and, until I feel I’ve gotten $130 worth of coffee out of it I won’t take my sledgehammer to it, but its days are numbered. It has two serious problems:
1) the frothing cup must be securely in place even if you’re not using it to froth anything.
2) it takes divine action to get the frothing cup securely in place.
The frothing cup has two prongs and guide rails so it should be easy to slide into place, and it is. I slide it into place, it clips in, and the machine beeps so, clearly, it knows the cup is there. Unfortunately, to be in place properly for it to work it has to sing a beepy song, which requires several attempts at slamming, re-slamming, mashing, jiggling, and sliding. It takes me longer to get the cop that I’m not even going to use in place than it does to brew espresso once I do. Even when I get it seated, when it powers off and on again I have to go through the whole process again. I have added the designer of this machine to my list of people I will punch in the face if we ever meet.
The other problem, and I share some responsibility for this because I didn’t do my research, is that –despite sporting the name “Keurig” in big letters on the front– it does not take normal K-cups. This leaves you with a vast selection of two flavors plus decaf unless you refill your cups with something of your choice, killing half the convenience of a Keurig machine.

Sold by OJ Basics, fulfilled by Amazon (Prime).
Amazon customers should be made aware ahead of their purchase that the package they are receiving has been previously fiddled with.
Well, I did receive the unit, and samples… but in a previously opened package and not a “sample pack” as pictured and certainly not what one would expect from a NEW/Unopened box. I documented each stage of opening once I realized the package had been previously opened with a blade.
Was looking forward to being able to try each if the blends, however, I was not provided with the delicato, nor the decaf. What I did get were 7 Classico and 6 Intenso, literally thrown into the box.
The power cord was unraveled and barely hanging on to its opened corrugated packing.
I am hoping for the best…. However, at this moment, 30 minutes after arrival, 3 stars is the best I can offer based on this experience thus far. I will revisit this matter to either improve … or otherwise once the unit has been prepped and used with the carelessly strewn pods of espresso.

I would principally recommend this product for very patient retired persons. Why? Because my experience says that you will spend anywhere from two to twenty minutes each brewing trying to get the foamer to work. With the first model I purchased, the foaming device worked once in 100 attempts. After a couple of conversations with Keurig’s tech support, they sent me a completely new system. Then, the the success rate with the foamer was all the way up to once in 50 attempt. Tech support’s advice: “jiggle that little stirring thingy”. So, that’s what I do. Over and Over. After another series of calls with Keurig’s tech support, they sent me a new foamer section. Now, the foamer functions properly anywhere from the third or fourth time attempt, to the 30th attempt. Once the foamer functions properly, the latte I get is among the best I’ve ever had. So, I labor on, hoping that the system will eventually function in a reliable manner. My opinion here is that Keurig’s engineering expertise simply excelled far beyond the company’s production expertise. Here is a list of the number of attempts it took me each day to get the former to work: 22, 24, 8, 30, 1, 24, 1, 12, 20, 1, 7, 28, 12, 22.

Love it Love it Love it. I’m not a coffee drinker in general – but I do like the occasional latte however I hate the fuss in making one. My old machine was on the way out and I realized, though I do not use it often – I would miss not having it at all. The want of a new machine led me to searching and researching various machines until I found this one (and a couple other pod espresso machines). The bonus on this one was the ability to steam milk (as others that enjoy espresso need their steamed milk even if I do not) as the other top contender for my money did not offer a built in steamer.
I am very happy with my purchase. The machine warms quickly – I turn it on and tell it what I will be making, then get out my mug, pour my syrups and place under the spout. Then put in a new pod, take out a stirring spoon and that is about the time the heat up takes and I’m ready to brew. Brewing is fast, and results in a lovely crema on top.
While I could make a less expensive espresso, this takes all of the hassle of making a latte away (no grinding the beans, tamping the coffee, watching the output to stop the machine once done, etc) and is also faster than my old machine in both warm up and brew.
I do hope that down the line a reusable pod will be created for this machine by a third party so I can use other coffees if the urge strikes, but I’m perfectly happy with this machine as is.
Mine came with 3 testers of each coffee, and while I slightly preferred the delicato – everyone involved with the taste testing said the classico was the way to go (though a couple preferred the intensio ‘if they had a choice”). The classico is the ‘mid’ in flavor strength to my tastebuds – still easy enough to mask with syrups for those of us that do not like strong coffee taste. The decaf flavor is very similar to the classico – and was nice to trick my brain but not actually add the caffeine boost in the late afternoon – I now have classico and the decaf on hand.
For ease, speed, and a nice flavored coffee – I highly suggest it (and though I am not much of a coffee drinker over all, those that are were also quite happy with the results in my household).
