Keurig K-Cafe SMART Single Serve K-Cup Pod Coffee Maker, Black

Great machine for the mechanically impaired
My husband says it’s like waking up in Italy every morning. What I appreciate about this machine is the ease of use. We didn’t have to buy, and get training on, a fancy Cappuccino machine with steam frothers and such. This Keurig does a terrific job and also makes a plain old cup ‘o Joe, if that’s on the menu.

Indespensible – I Like It Much More Than I Dared To Hope
I’ve been a keurig user for 20 years or so. Each machine has lasted me 4-5 years or so, but they are inexpensive enough to replace. I developed a love of lattes just in the past 5 years or so (which I usually bought from either Starbucks or Dutch Bros), so when my last Keurig stopped working, I jumped on this machine. I’ve had it for 9 months now and I really love it. Yes, I realize that it’s not for someone who likes the primo upscale experience of drinking a old-school latte. But that’s never been me anyway. So this thing is perfection.Pros:I Can make a latte in a few minutes with very little effort on my part. Just pour in the milk, add the k-cup, turn it on and walk away. I even upped my game now to use homemade plant-base milk, and bought some flavored syrups. I’ve made lots of hot lattes and have more recently made some cold ones too. Hot or cold, I really like the taste of my creations, and they are also very inexpensive to make.Cons:It’s often needlessly fussy. I put the k-cup in before turning it on… it refuses to work. I pour in milk and instruct it to whip it up cold or hot, and it just sits there impassively like it’s mocking me (then suddenly springs to live minutes later). I also wish you could just tell it to do a double-shot without having to pretend to be putting in a new k-cup, starting it back up, and waiting. Grrr. In summary, the controls are fussy, inefficient and unintuitive, but you get used to them (eventually!) so I’m not even going to deduct a point.

Very convenient, makes good latte!
The unit is very good, everything works and my lattes taste great. It is much more convenient than my old Mr Coffee espresso maker. What I really like is the large water reservoir which is very easy to remove and fill. The milk frother is just amazing – the milk foam is thick and just takes 2-3 minutes. The pitcher is marked inside with milk levels for cappuccino and latte. I really like how the froth is made from under the milk pitcher – so simple and a cinch to clean. With my old unit I had to hold my milk pitcher and stick the frothing wand inside the pitcher hoping to get it low enough to heat all the milk. This works great. It’s my first Keurig unit so I like the simplicity of popping in an espresso K-cup.What I don’t like too much is that neither the espresso nor milk come out hot. They are very warm, actually the perfect drinking temperature, but since it’s not hot I have to drink it immediately or it cools down. The espresso comes out with no crema. There seems to be an attempt to produce some at the end when a burst of espresso comes out but it only results in some bubbles in the cup. Finally, I feel bad about using plastic K-cups in terms of polluting the environment. I purchased one of the reusable K-cup holders and will start using that after I go through the few K-cups remaining.I have not used the unit to make regular coffee yet, so will update this review later.Update: lattes previously were not hot because the unit wasn’t ready. There is no light or sound to indicate when the water is heated so it’s just a guess and I guessed too early. Now I just wait longer.

Apis de um mes de transporte o produto chegou em uma caixa genérica (não a caixa do fabricante) sem manuais. Mostrva sinais de uso e marcas, o wifi não funcionava e reiniciava constantemente. Não sei como é possível o comércio de produtos usados e danificados pelo Amazon. Tive que retornar o pacote. Não deu para testar.

Love this coffee maker. Separate milk steamer works like a dream. Easy to use and clean
