Melitta MES1

Different strengths and flavors for those who have different tastes in the house ; It's FREE if you sign up for their convenient mail service ; Coffee much better than standard drip coffee

If you want espresso or my favorite, Turkish coffee, you won't get it here ; You are limited to the six strengths and flavors available from Melitta. Other pods do't taste good in this machine

This machine is super easy to use. It's nice looking, and it works great

The quality of the coffee... not so good. It's "alright". I would say it's a great machine for a college student, or someone who likes to dump in the coffee creamer and artificial sweetener, but doesn't truely appreciate coffee ; The locking mechanism...

Sleek, Easy to use, Great concept, Reliable, Designed to last

Weak coffee, poor tea, overall a let down of an end product

Built to last. Brews directly into your cup. Primarily a pod machine, but accepts freshly ground coffee as well. Also contains a tea making attachment

Brews weak coffee with no ability to effectively adjust the brew strength

Very simple setup, easy to use, easy to clean up after use, quick start up

Coffee quality lagging, pods make for post-brew dripping from "spout", takes up more counter space than it should, small water reservoir

Short time from power on until first cup ; Ease of use, to include cleanup ; Flavor of brewed coffee (using PodHead pods)

Small water reservoir

o Makes much better coffee than any drip or press-pot maker I have owned ; o Very easy to use ; o Fast. No waiting for that first cup in the morning ; o Simple clean-up (toss the pod)

o Not all that attractive ; o Latching mechanism doesn't feel very sturdy ; o Water container is small (about 3 or 4 cups)
