Bella - Single Serve Coffee Maker - Black/Silver

Appreciating what a good cup of coffee was like (at home) was a long time in coming. I used to brew a whole 12 cup pot and re-heat a couple of cups each day, saving some cash as I did not want to toss what had already been brewed, but always missing that fresh brewed taste and aroma. But recently I had a positive experience with one of those K cup machines at a friends house and was impressed except for the cost per cup. Then I found this machine with the ability to brew ANY ground coffee with the included, dedicated grounds basket on Best Buy at an incredible price and had to try it. This machine truly is the best of all worlds. You can brew any K cup with its dedicated holder or use the permanent filter basket, no additional refillable, messy filter cups necessary, (which I have tried). This machine brews FAST, HOT, holds 40 oz of water, is simple to use and clean (just rinse the basket) and makes GREAT tasting coffee! CHEERS!

I purchased this for work to share with the team. We had a single cup machine AND a traditional basic ground coffee maker. This consolidated both! I purchased this during a Deal of the Day sale, and I'm glad I did. I would be far less impressed with this unit for it's full asking price of $79.99. Considering I got it for $29.99 I cannot complain a whole lot. WAIT for it to go on sale! However... Good - the price and functionality. Having the option to make a coffee "capsule" as the machine indicates or ground coffee is nice for options. The 40 oz water tank is great to have on board as well. No more pouring water into the previous machine for every cup and having it leak out the bottom often. Very simple to operate. The not so good - My biggest complaint with this unit, is not the noisy motor (although that is a concern) but the amount of liquid it splashes everywhere. I'm also curious why they went from 6 oz to 10 oz to 15 oz.? I'm surprised it wasn't 8, 12 or 16? Not a deal breaker mind you, just boggles my mind. If the tray had more adjustment - one closer still for an actual mug the splashing would almost likely be a non issue. Considering this is being used in an office of multiple people and a shared kitchen space, minimal to no splashing saves others the after clean up that is bound to happen. Our work around is to find and dedicate a tall travel mug that fits to the machine for brewing use - or request folks to be aware of the splashing and do a quick clean up after a brew. All in all for the sale price - we will keep it and make do. It is better then the puddles from the previous model and the lost counter space to having two units.

I have been using this Bella Coffee Maker for several months, and wouldn't be without it! It brews coffee just the way I like it. I use bulk grounds with the included brew basket, and save a lot by doing that, over using the pods. My only wish is that it had a bigger water tank. I only get 2 15 oz. cups per fill, but that's not a big deal. Price is much better than a K****.

I love love love my Bella single serve coffee make.I can brew6,10 or 15oz cups.I am no longer wasting coffee like I did with my pot coffee maker.I have not used the pods .I only use the filter with grind coffee.The taste is great.

Simple operations. My final opinion is: Makes good coffee both with grounds and K-cups. I would definitely buy this again. Wish it had an 8-ounce setting for K-cups, as 6 is too little, and 10 comes out slightly weak. 10-ounce is fine for grounds. Wish there were dedicated paper filters, so I could use my favorite fine-grind coffee. However, I use 1-4 cup basket filters, and shape them to the basket. Be sure to heed the instructions on the amount of grounds to use, or it will overflow. The drip speed is a bit slow, so the coffee cools some as it drips and is not very hot. So drink it soon after brewing, maybe preheating your cup with hot tap water. I use this for travel, and use the hot water for my instant oatmeal, too. The machine gets a little loud at the end of the cycle, but not an issue for me. Punched-metal grid for the drip tray has sharp edges. Construction materials are not overly strong, but should be okay if used with care. I put all the washable parts in the dishwasher top rack, without heated drying, and they survived two cycles so far. Very nice value for the versatility, and the quality of the coffee.

I purchased this because it was a less expensive version of Keurig. I purchased one for myself and my best friend. I have had it for almost two years with no problems. My only gripe is that I have to use my travel coffee mug because the liquid will splash out of my smaller mugs even if I adjust the height setting of the tray.

Very useful coffeemaker with dual use, for k cups and brewed coffee. You’re able to choose the coffee portion in your cup.

Having the option for grounds or pods in one machine is a great convenience. Brews quickly and relatively quietly, with coffee temperature hot (not scalding) ready for sipping. Decent machine size given it has a water tank, good for those of us with limited counter space.
