InstantSolo Single Serve Coffee Maker, From the Makers of Pot, K-Cup Pod Compatible Brewer, Includes Reusable & Bold Setting, Brew 8 to 12oz., 40oz. Water Reservoir, Red

This Instant coffee maker is amazing! I have gone through two Keurigs over the last two years and neither is comparable to this machine in both quality and taste.I ordered this machine to replace my broken Keurig as it was on special ($79; Normally $99, much cheaper than the $135 price tag in other places) and liked the quality of the Instant brand products I have purchased in the past. I assumed if I disliked it, Amazon has been great about returns in the past. Needless to say, I will not be returning this item. It is quiet and barely makes noise compared to its Keurig counterpart. I have tried both K cups and it’s included mini scoop for ground coffee, both options are spectacular. The Bold setting adds more dimensions of flavour. The touch screen responds well and is pretty quick to go from loading to brewing. It has a tiny jingle when the brewing is done, nothing too unpleasant or irritating… I rather like it myself.If you are debating this Instant product over a Keurig, you will thank yourself for choosing this option. I have had the very coffee I brew at the coffee shop, and it was never quite there when brewed with my Keurig. However, this Instant coffee maker tasted exactly like the coffee shop version.The sizing is about the same size as a mini Keurig but slightly smaller. The design is sleek and easy to clean, the removable tray comes off with ease. It has a removable water tank that’s easy to clean if needed. ( Holds about 40 oz)All in all, I’m so happy I decided to go with this option and can’t wait to see how well it goes over time.Pros:Quick BrewCan use K Cup or Your own Ground Coffee with included scoop pod.Sleek designTouch screenSize options (8,10,12 ounces)Bold optionEasy to remove and fill tank ( can be filled separately or whilst in the machine)Cons:No indication of water level. I have no issue with this as my Keurig is per cup but I understand others have different models and may not have this experience.Overflow, I have not had this issue more than once but understand some people have. I am aware you can remove the tray if that is a problem and it lessens this a bit, but if I could be honest, I would recommend a tall and wider cup. This issue for me only presented on smaller tea cup sized mug, so I grabbed my larger coffee mug and this issue was no longer an issue. There is spray (as to empty the pod of all fluid) which can be a bit untidy but Keurig also manages to produce this result. The difference between the two is I rarely have a leaky pod once I remove it from the machine. Makes it easier to disassemble for recycling.Possible issues with touch censor but this is nothing I have dealt with yet, but know some may prefer the mechanical option as it may be easier.Again, this is worth a chance to be considered especially being you can return the item if you dislike it. I found the coffee from this Instant Solo is preferred by myself and my guests who use it. I say the bold option was the biggest game changer.

I got the Instant Solo Single Serve Coffee Maker a day ago. I've always had Keurig machines and used the My K-cup reusable pod. I purchased this maker when my old Keurig died. I was looking for a more affordable option that would last longer than the Keurig machines that rarely last more than 3 years. After reading the reviews for the Instant Solo, I decided to give it a try. My first impressions are as follows:1. The machine is well made and well designed. I really like the light touch buttons.2. Cleaning the machine and getting to the various components is easy.3. I really like the reusable coffee pod that comes with the coffee maker. Please note that other generic reusable coffee pods won't fit this unit.4. The taste of the coffee I made with the reusable pod was far superior to the coffee brewed using the Keurig machine - I think that is because the brew cycle is a bit slower and the grounds are hit with a bit of water to prep the coffee before the brewing starts.5. The first brew which was a brew with fresh water after unboxing was a bit of a chore as the machine kept erroring out. I figured it was due to the fact that the water pump was dry and needed to be primed. I just unplugged the machine and repeated pressing the brew cycle a couple of times and eventually the coffee maker started working. Also, there will be a bit of a plastic smell the first time the coffee maker is used. That smell goes away completely after the initial run through with fresh water. I ran a plain water cycle 5 or 6 times to make sure the machine was completely flushed out.As far as durability goes we are in the early days but so far I am very happy with purchase.

This is my first negative review ever.First let me give the pros: This coffee maker is actually fantastic. It beats my Keurig and it's extremely simple to use and clean. I love the design.The negative part: The company's non-existent, borderline tragic customer support.My story: After just couple of weeks using it, the coffee machine started making a loud sound when making coffee. I assumed it needed cleaning, and I followed the instructions to clean it thoroughly. It didn't make a difference. Every time it would turn on, with and without pods the sound would get louder and louder until we had to stop it. Instead of going through Amazon (my mistake) I contacted the company's customer service. The link given by Amazon takes you to a web page where you enter your claim. I provided an explanation, uploaded a video of the problems and pictures. I received an automated email the next day, with a case number. Then... 3 weeks passed with no answer. We couldn't use the coffee machine without waking up the neighbors from the noise, so I called their 800 number. They, apparently, had no record of the original claim I filed online (even after providing the case# and original email). So they opened another new ticket. SAME STORY. I received another automated email with a different case number, and another 2 weeks followed. Almost 1 1/2 into the ordeal, I decided to email their customer service for a 5th time (previous attempts were unanswered) and after writing that I was going to post my experience on social media, sure enough the next day I got an email response from someone in their support group. Nasty email, badly written, accusatory. Pretty much saying that I needed to upload everything AGAIN (for the 3rd time) and that probably I was using the coffee machine without water (laughable excuse). I did that, replied to the email once again with pictures and videos. No answer back whatsoever. By that time, the return window with Amazon was closed, so I couldn't return it. I ended up throwing that paper weight to the garbage and I followed up with one last email to the company expressing my frustration. Finally, after around 2 months of my initial contact I received an email from the same support person, telling me "he was sorry for the long time it took" but because "I had disposed of the coffee maker" they couldn't replace it anymore so they kindly gave me a 20% coupon for their website.Seriously, this is the worst experience I have ever had with any company and it's really too bad, because the coffee machine is actually amazing and when it worked, it was hands down the best product in it's category I've seen.Hope this helps someone out there.

I am impressed with how easy it is to use, and the advantage of using your own coffee is a big win for me. I highly recommend it if you want a refillable coffee option with easy-to-clean parts without compromising the taste of your coffee.

very compact and doesn't take a lot of counter space, very hand if you don't want to make a full pot of coffee

No es funcional para mi aquí donde se pidió no hay cápsulas de este tamaño fue una compra inútil.A

The media could not be loaded.  Muy agradable producto, el café se prepara rápidamente, algunas personas se quejan del residuo pero no es tanto, ni nada que no se pueda solucionar con una cuchara o dejándolo al fondo de la taza.Muy satisfecha con la compra

Esta muy bonita, muy fácil de usar, súper funcional
