My eye doctor had another, more expensive, Keurig system - and it made a good cup of coffee. I'm the only one who drinks coffee at home - so I don't need a big tank, I don't need a big LCD screen that tells me what's happening. I don't need any of the bells and whistles. And I didn't want to spend a lot of money when I was only going to make 1 cup a day. I've used Mr. Coffee products in the past and saw this and thought great! A few months have passed and I really like it. There are many complaints about the small tank - didn't anyone read the description? Right at the top of the page on Amazon next to the picture it says 24-ounce tank. Brews in 2 sizes - 6 and 10 ounce. Yup, small cups. I have an 18 ounce mug - I brew a 6ounce cup and then brew a 10ounce cup right after in the same mug - gives me a 16ounce cup of coffee, there's room for some milk and I'm good. If I wanted bells and whistles I could have paid hundreds of dollars - but I wanted a basic Keurig system, inexpensive - that's what I ordered and that's what I got. I'm totally happy with it.
Oh - yes, it's not "instant" coffee - the water stays in the tank until you hit the brew button. Then the water drops inside the machine and is heated up - meaning - it's not preheaded like the larger, more expensive machines. You hit brew, the water drops, and THEN the machine heats the water. So yes, you wait while it heats the water and brews the coffee. Not a big deal for me as I'm usually doing other things while it makes the coffee. If you want a system what has a large water tank and preheats the water so that it's (in a sense) "instant" coffee making then you have to pay more money for another machine. Again - read the description on the Amazon page - look at the pictures. Know in advance that this lower-cost machine doesn't do some things, but for me, makes a great cup of coffee.
What I would do differently has to do with the actual K-cups. I bought a lot of variety packs to see what there was out there. And for me the learnings were stick to name brands - Folger's, Millstone and Cafe Escapes (for the milk and dark hot chocolate, and the chai latte). Some of the cups included in the variety packs tasted like water even when brewed at the 6ounce size.
End Result - I did some research before I hit the buy button, knew what I was looking for and what I was getting and I'm totally satisfied. Am totally happy with my purchase!

Never mind what haters say, ignore them 'til they fade away.
Let's be real, Keurig coffee makers are expensive. However, what your getting is convenience and simplicity . This is a nice cheaper (less expensive) alternative to a normal Keurig. The reservoir makes two large (10 ounce) cups. One issue I've noticed this that it takes a lot longer than my gf's top of the line Keurig. That being said, I'm fine with the tradeoff. It may take a few minutes longer than the nicer single serving coffee makers, but for half the price, it's a great deal. I've had the Mr. Coffee for a few weeks and haven't had any brewing issues. I would strongly encourage anyone thinking about it to pull the trigger before they sell out.
