It is instant coffee. The same kind that you put in a cup full of hot water and stir. Buy a HB brewstation and a burr grinder and use filtered water if you want a good cup of java.

I hope Kurt Russel doesn’t sue me for that title.
I decided to take the leap into pod brewing systems with this as I received a gift certificate to help with this purchase along with several other discounts. I think I went out of pocket $90 and I still feel cheated.
The basic problem is that there are not enough grounds in the pods- even the pod that allows you to add your own grounds. Instead of K-Cups they should have said K-Scoops as the amount of coffee in the pods is FAR too miniscule to have much flavor impact on the water. I ran with the recommended Dark Magic and Sumatra “Extra Bold” blends, but even they fell way short. I tried to make this work for about a month and then gave up on it.
If you’re looking for a cool blue night light that makes instant hot water from a pressurized resevoir (PV=nRT) then this might be for you. If you’re looking for strong coffee look elsewhere. If you like coffee-flavored water then this is probably for you.
I’m actually brewing manually with a funnel (my organic chemistry Bodum glass vessel broke- I think I’ve broken EVERY piece of Bodum glass I’ve ever owned), a gold cone filter (left over from the $50 Bodum MDC- Manual Drip Coffee-maker), and a Thermos 12 oz stainless steel cup (The Holy Grail of coffee cups, which reminds me. . . I need to buy another pair of these gems).
This all started with my “voluntary” recall of the 8 cup Starbucks Barista brewer. If I had it to do over again I would NEVER have turned in the Barista. It made great coffee ALL the time and I could overbrew if I wanted to and have coffee soup. Stupid is as stupid does. I think I’m going to buy a Black and Decker Smart Brew and just make 1 cup at a time (like I do now) so I don’t have to try and find another thermal maker as I haven’t found one yet that hasn’t been panned in the reviews.

When I bought this, I did not have much thought about this machine except just coffee itself. Now, having used this machine for 6 months, I found that I am throwing out so many plastic packages. So, I bought re-usable coffee filter, but it was just messy and the coffee was not that great. And all the convenience is gone. You might better use the normal brew coffee machine that use a single sheet filter.
There is an another option of using K-cup pod maker, which I haven’t tried. But then again, you have to go through making pods by yourself, which may not be an option for the poeple who just want convenience.
Unless each k-cup is being made recyclable, wasting plastics for each cup of coffee is a wrong thing to do, especially when we have many ways of coffee making without hampering our environment. Besides, it doesn’t make that great coffee, enough to justify damaging the environment.

I have two of these machines and if you can hear me right now you don’t own one yet. I think the noise and vibration have caused me health issues. The machine works good and I use it everyday but buy a bulk package of foam safety ear plugs.

I returned it. It was broken when I received it. I was very unhappy with the return process trying to get a return # was very difficult and felt like I was imposing on the staff. I have bought many things on the site and have never had to return anything. I ended up getting one from the Keurig web site (of couse it cost a little bit more). Your welcome to call me on my cell @ 520-820-2790.
