Keurig K-Café Single Serve Coffee Maker with Lavazza Espresso Italiano - 32 K-Cup Pods for Home & Office - Perfect for Espresso, Latte & Cappuccino Lovers

Overall great machine and one bad mother frother! This unit replaced my previous Keurig that I had for 10 years. I’ve had this one for 3 months now. I mostly use it to make a cup of coffee using frother to add 1/2 & 1/2 - kind of Americana style. I have only made a cappuccino and latte a few times. Coffee is just my personal preference. I use Neuman’s Own organic special blend k-cups coffee for reference.Pros:1) makes an amazing cup coffee! Wow! Huge improvement over my previous model. Flavor is incredible- tastes better than starbucks or Pete’s. This unit offers 6, 8, 10, 12 ounce and a shot. I like my coffee relatively strong. My previous Keurig needed to be set to 6 ounces in order to be strong enough for me using the same coffee (Neumanns own organic special blend). It’s amazing how much more efficient this machine is. I regularly brew 10 ounces on the strong setting and it’s just as strong but more flavorful as my old one 6 oz. I have had several 12 ounce cups on the strong setting and it’s still a pretty darn strong cup of coffee.2) I love the frother (with the exception of the cons listed below). I was hesitant to get this unit because of all the bad reviews about the frother breaking shortly after receiving a brand new unit. I thought it would be a nice thing to use when guests came to visit. Lol. But I use it for every single cup! The frother adds amazing flavor to the coffee. My life has been transformed. I use add 3 tbsp of 1/2 & 1/2 to fill just above spindle way below fill line use cappuccino setting. Yum! There is a cold and hot setting on the frother + latte and cappuccino options. The cold setting barely froths at all which is fine. I’m sure it has something to do with the temperature but it comes out cold for my iced coffee - which tastes just like a nitro brew at Starbucks - by filling up a coffee cup with ice and using the shot setting on the coffee maker. Cold setting + cappuccino option on frother. Again life transforming in the summer!I hope it doesn’t break as many reviews I have stated. So far so good knock on wood!Cons:1) needs smaller frother. One improvement I would definitely suggest is a smaller sized frother to allow for less milk/half & half for a cup of coffee. It’s way too much cream to fill to the fill line of smallest setting which is cappuccino for one cup of coffee. It still will froth pretty well when I put in just enough to cover the black spindle inside but (1/3 of minimum fill line of cappuccino) but it would be even better if could accommodate smaller amounts of milk.2) the lid of the frother is very thin and flimsy on the sides. Several of the plastic pieces have broken on the side while carefully hand washing, one broke the day after 2nd use.3) Already rust forming inside the frother. I wash and dry it immediately after each use and leave the lid off.3) Sometimes the frother does not froth much at all and other times it froths incredibly well. Again I am using way less half & half than the minimum fill line amount. But it’s always the same amount, 3 tablespoons.4) the unit itself is very light - a fraction of what my older unit weighed. As other reviewer‘s have mentioned, the parts are flimsy and the water reservoir is cheaply made and you need to be careful when attaching it to the unit so it doesn’t break. I usually have to give it a few tries before it will lock into place.I have been using this machine for over 6 months daily and it works flawlessly.Our household makes an average of 20 or more cups of coffe with it each morning and it makes 3 lattes in the afternoons.I have ever only used oat milk with the frother but it comes out better than at the coffe stands. I have also never used pod cups with it, only the refillable cups and it does make a huge quality difference to tamp the coffe down until it is well compacted in the cup.The reviewers that are complaining about the machine "stopping" mid way into making a cup are tripping there circuit breakers. This machine does use a TON of watts but I have yet to trip a breaker. The newer kitchen breakers will likely need changed out to a standard breaker for these to function properly. You would also need to mind what else is running on the same circuit. There is no way that you could run a second appliance on the same circuit while operating this.I havent been to a coffe stand since making this purchase and this actually paid for itself in less than a month.Cleanup is also a breeze. I simply rinse the frother with hot water before the milk can bake to it and set it back in its nest for reuse.Very happy with itI LOVE this coffee maker!! No need to go to a coffee shop with this at home. Well worth the money!I use this daily and I couldn’t be happier. I bought espresso flavored k cups and flavored syrups so I can have things like hot amaretto cappuccino or cold vanilla lattes. (I brew my own hot coffee or espresso then refrigerate for iced drinks). The foaming feature is excellent for hot foam - the cold foam feature is 4/5 stars - I bought a separate mini electric whisk and I finish off with that to make the cold foam a bit fluffier. Overall this is a great buy and worth every penny ($159 when I bought it)Game changer for my coffee routine!***I recommend this machine. I'm a frugal person and it took years for me to decide & make this Keurig purchase.--------------1. It was packed well.2. Easy to set up & clean before using.3. Read instructions & watch a couple of YouTube vids to see how to make cappuccino, lattes & iced coffee.4. I ordered coffee, cappuccino & latte pods that arrived separately from my Keurig.5. Peruse the Keurig website to see all the k-cups they offer.6. Register your machine for your warranty.7. I had never had a cappuccino in my life (& I'm getting up there in age lol). I made the most delicious vanilla cappuccino. I was lazy being that I didn't post the pic.****The holidays are around the corner and this Keurig along with k-pods would be a terrific gift for anyone you who enjoys plain old coffee or 'fancy coffee.' ****This has been a great machine so far. We live above 5k feet and our old Keurig didn’t seem to like the change. This one has worked Ed like a champ and the frother is very convenient and much easier than a steam one. One thing is to make sure to clean the frothing cup after each use. The plastic piece that spins can get stuck and the machine will flash all the buttons under it until the plastic disco can spin freely.After about 4 k-cup brews, it just stopped working. After FOUR coffees..... It just sputters and pours brown vaguely coffee smelling water. Or sometimes it tries to brew, then shuts off after a few seconds....completely powers down. The frother seems to work, but thats not particularly helpful if I can't actually brew a cup of coffee. I should have known better. All the previous keurig brewers I have had died after a year, but since they were cheap, I figured it wasn't the end of the world. But for this machine, for this price, and to die on the first day after four coffees....ridiculous.Really wanted to like this thing, but after just a couple weeks, the milk frother does not work. You hear a motor running and sometimes if you maneuver the black gear at the bottom of the frother it will work, but not for long. Really hope someone can contact me on how to fix this.What I like about it is that you can choose a strong cup, cup size and a shot option. The milk frother is a fun option. What I don't like is it is very plasticy and feels flimsy. My other machine has metal handles and buttons and thicker plastic body. Also, the generic re-usable pods don't work well with it, alot of water pours out of the edges. That doesn't happen with my other machine.I’ve only had the machine for less than a week but so far I love it and the milk frother is so fun. Really pleased.Amo mi keurig coffee machine, tiene variedad de oz, y la espuma del capp y latte que prepara es excelente. Desde la primera vez que intenté preparar cappuccino quedó a la perfección. Súper fácil de usar.
