Instant Pot - Dual Pod 3-in-1 Coffee Maker 68oz, Compatible with Nespresso and K-Cups - Black

I have two of these, one for my house and one for my vacation trailer. A full size tumbler fits under the spot. Holds lots of water. The newer one will stop making coffee at about 10oz which is lame.

For years I've been ignoring my home coffee maker because it couldn't do what the fancy coffee houses could- espresso. But the Instant 2-in-1-Multi-Function Coffee Maker not only brews coffee, adds in the shots of espresso I want but can use my own grounds as well. It's so easy to pop in the flavor pod I want, an espresso pod and brew my own lattes at home. Just add milk and even some whip. I haven't even craved one of those overpriced lattes since I got this brewer. I love the flexibility of the brewer and have been using it daily. And as an added bonus, it's a fraction of the size of my previous coffee maker so I get some much-needed counter space back. Full of options, compact on space - this little coffee maker is getting used daily!

I received this product in exchange for a review. My opinions are my own. The Instant 2 in 1 Multi-Function coffee maker has been a lifesaver in our household since the day it arrived. It has cut down the time it takes my wife and me to make coffee every morning and we are grateful for it. We used to boil water in the morning for our coffee but if we were running late we would have to skip that process and hopefully get something on the way to work. With this coffee maker, we just need to put in our desired coffee, push a button, and within a few minutes, our coffee is being poured into our mug. The fact that we can use two different types of coffee cups is great because it expands the types of coffee we can enjoy. We can select the size of the container we are using and the coffee maker will make the perfect cup each time. On those days when we need a little boost, we can tap the "Bold" button and our coffee has a little more kick than normal. Set up for the Mulit-function coffee maker is pretty simple but we did have a few issues with the button being a little too sensitive or not working when we pressed on them. After disconnecting and reconnecting the device to that wall this problem was fixed. The water tray might be an issue for some depending on where you place it on your counter. Luckily, we have a counter that provides us with the room to remove the water tray with little trouble. Overall, this is a great coffee maker that is quick and efficient and is also very easy to clean.

I love the options with the Instant Coffee Maker. Being able to brew coffee or espresso is awesome. Plus, the option of using K-cup or Nespresso pods is so nice as well as the reusable pod included! Love that it has a big water reservoir too... less refilling needed. Just so many great features and functionality!

For me this machine is all about espresso, but it's nice to be able to make a cup of regular coffee for guests. Couldn't do that with my last machine that just made espresso, though could fake it with a longer pull. This does mean my use has focused on the nespresso pods though. First thing I noticed was it actually does create a nice crema! Definitely don't see that from all pod machines. I'm used to using specific whole bean coffees, so definitely going to be looking into reusable capsules that fit the nespresso side. The capsules are a bit pricey otherwise. It does come with a reusable pod for coffee, but a nespresso size one would be a great addition! Boiler worked well and quickly. Heated up really fast and espresso was really hot. Did I mention the crema? This is definitely not just a Kcup machine with a nespresso capsule slot! Pretty simple to use, but I did feel like I was going to pull the handle off opening the top! I got over that though, since it seems sturdier than it feels. No signs of my fear happening! I do have two tips for starting out though. One, once you set the pod in, don't reopen the lid to check it or your pod will go bye bye into the used pod reservoir. Oops! Also check the care and cleaning page for how to access the reservoir. I tried for longer than I want to admit before looking it up! Does it match the Italian machine I was used to? Not quite. But for close to 1/10th the price it does really well! I think with some trial and error with different espresso capsules or refilling my own with my choice of beans it may get even closer. I'm definitely looking forward to experimenting!
