    I love this thing so easy to make coffee in the morning. Old tired miserable aching hate so much I even hate hate..
    Simple quck no mess my regular coffee maker was good but a pain in the ass when you just wake up and have to start messing with the damn thing.
    Paid $79 for it and my Irish Hungarian luck it was $69 the next day. But they have all kinds of sizes to choose from and I bought the do it your self coffee pods to save money and make any coffee you wish with it.

      You're not limited to the single serve k-cups. You can get a reusable filter in the shape of a k-cup so you can use regular ground coffee.

        I have one as a backup to my drip coffee maker that gives me a pot of coffee brewed every morning before I wake up, and kept warm for me. It's nice for those quick cups when I want something during the day. Makes tea and hot cocoa, too. I've tried the soups, but I don't recommend them, those things were nasty!

          I had nothing but problems with them. I''ve owned three different models and every one eventually backs up and the pod explodes and makes a big mess. Yes I cleaned the needles. Bought a Bonavita drip machine and love it.

            What kind of coffee do you put in them? I've had them for years and they get cleaned....oh maybe once a year.

              Sorry to hear that 10-32. Take and pour vinegar in the water fill and run it through. Then run a cycle of water. Vinegar eats the old coffee residue that builds up and cleans things out. Let me know how your Bonavita holds up as I am buying another one for the girl that takes care of my place here. Thank you..

                I have an old school percolator
                that goes on the stove .
                It makes the best coffee in the world ..

                I also recently got a Keurig .
                It works great and if you have good coffee
                it will make good coffee ☕️😎

                MERC

                  I don't drink much coffee. It would be a waste for me to make a pot. I have a Keruig fot guests.

                    I used the Kirkland pods, the Starbux pods, different ones from the grocery store. When it wasn't blowing up the pods it was great.

                      I did all the descaling...didn't matter. The Bonavita Enthusiast is a great machine. Simple to operate, has a bloom button, tests to 198 degrees with my instant read, removable water tank and insulated stainless carafe. If you look up the reviews and testing it usually comes in a close second to the Moccamaster Technivorm whick costs hundreds more. Not quite as convenient as a pod machine but not by much.

                        Mine has a descaling light flashing. The first time it did my daughter bought everything to do it...well, it's on a timer, within a month or two it came back. screw it. our water is among the best in the world, I'm not concerned. We do use it every day though

                          Interesting info guys thank you. My Nam bud told me to use the vinegar and it really did clean up my old coffee machine. I think it was more about the coffee taste thank the bacteria being the concern. He was down south in the swamps on his tour. He said Tim after running out of water and sticking our faces in the Mekong river to quench our thirst I don't give and damn what they say about our tap water it has to be better than that.

                            As I get older I find I'm sensitive to caffeine. Gets me jittery and anxious. I'll be damned if I'm giving up my coffee.

                              Forget coffee check this list of drinks loaded with caffeine.

                              -Death Wish Canned Cold Brew
                              -Zombie Blood Energy Potion

                              Caffeine Content of Drinks​

                              Yes coffee is addicting and yes you do go through withdrawals when you stop that morning cup of java. Chocolate is loaded with caffeine and its added to sodas and energy drinks and snack bars.
