Coffee machine

Mixed5/10Budget

America's dominant pod brewer, bought for convenience rather than taste. Reviewers find the coffee drinkable but unremarkable, and durability complaints are common. It is essentially a US-only system.

Good at

  • Fast, one-touch single cups
  • Huge range of K-Cup pods and brands
  • Reusable filter pods available

Weak at

  • Coffee tends to be weak compared with drip or espresso
  • Many owners report machines failing within a few years
  • Pods are costly and generate waste
