Product Manuals

Q: Can you use regular coffee grounds for this unit as well?

A: Yes you can. You are better off using already ground coffee because the grinder gets full of moisture and totally messes up the flow of coffee grounds. I stopped using mine a few minths after I bought it because it was such a pain to use.

Q: can you use a thermal carafe instead of the glass one?

A: Yes, use one all the time.

Q: Is there a programable coffee bean dispenser? If so, how much does it hold? Thank you.

A: There is no bean dispenser. You must load the beans into the grinder before each brewing session.

Q: I have a problem with setting the size of Pod serving. It doesnt scroll. Also time set does not work stays at 10:20. should I retur n it or is there a reset?

A: undefined

Q: Can you use a reusable single-serve pod?

A: Yes it comes with the machine

Q: Does this model have a warming plate

A: Yes

Q: What temperature does the Keurig side heat the water? Also what temp the coffee pot side water temp? Is the temp programable ?

A: temp is not programmable, but coffee was just above instant drinking temperature...had to wait a few for cooling.

Q: Does this unit able to also froth cream ???

A: No

Good coffee brewer.
Works well for what it is. As large as this machine is, it barely fits under my wall cabinets on the counter. Pulling the machine out to fill with water is challenging with counter space. Very tall. Otherwise, grinder works well, must be cleaned every time. buildup of grains and added steam/moisture will clog this process. Adding water to the single serve will prove to be a challenge.

Have a Towel Handy...Not the Long Haul Investment
The coffee maker worked great initially with some minor inconveniences when it came to the cleaning process. Around 6 months, the Single Serve side started blowing out the sides with water and coffee grounds everywhere. Now, the full pot side is starting to do the same thing. Trying to pour water into the pot side reservoir can be challenging and make a mess as well as trying to pour a cup of coffee in general. You will need a towel handy. For how much you pay for this machine, it's not worth the cost.

My favorite coffee maker!
I love this coffee maker! It takes some adjusting to get used to the right amount of water to whole beans, but once you get it, theres nothing better than that freshly ground and brewed coffee. It does get wet inside the grinder. I pull it out before i use it and simply wipe it down with a paper towel before i use it. I like that you can also shut the grinding function off and use already ground coffee, if you dont have that extra few minutes to wait. My favorite part is the separate single cup maker. I did have to purchase the reusable cup separately, but well worth it. I don't like wasting my money on pods, and like to adjust the strength of my coffee with my single serve. I do wish there was a reservoir for that feature. Other than that, This is my favorite coffee maker ever.
