Why we love it
The answer when the constraint is space rather than coffee. Under five inches wide fits a dorm desk, an office drawer unit or a rental kitchen with no counter left, and the cord stores in the back so it travels. You fill it per cup, which is the trade for the size — there's no reservoir to run dry and none to take up room either.
Pros
- Under five inches wide — fits where nothing else will
- Cord storage makes it genuinely portable
- Brews 6 to 12 oz
- Cheapest way into the pod system
- Takes a reusable filter for your own grounds
Cons
- One cup of water at a time — you fill it every single brew
- No temperature control, strength control or iced setting
- Cost per cup is far higher than ground coffee
- Slower in practice than a machine with a reservoir
