Simple coffee maker capable of using K-Cups or grounds. I’ve used it for both. It’s most simple to use K-Cups, of course, but the supplied cup makes it easy to use grounds as well. Both come out great and the coffee is hot! The size of this is nice as well as the slimness allows it to fit in without taking up too much space. Functionally it’s very easy to use with just a couple button presses to get your coffee made. I think this is an excellent value coffee maker.
I can say without a doubt that this single-serve coffee maker, which accepts both pods and K-Cup powder, has become a staple in my daily routine. I like my coffee hot or iced depending on the day, and this machine always makes a great cup of coffee. It’s easy to use, has a wide selection, and is reliable enough to use every day without any issues. It’s fast enough for busy mornings but also versatile enough for weekends when I want to experiment with different blends. The interface is easy to use, and you can brew your first cup in just a few minutes. You can easily choose the amount of coffee you want, as the buttons are labeled and the cup size is adjustable. You can choose a small 6-ounce cup for a strong flavor or a larger 14-ounce cup for a longer sip. The machine holds enough water for multiple brews, so I don’t have to refill it every time I want to make a cup. One excellent thing about this coffee maker is that you can use both K-Cup pods and ground coffee. This versatility allows me to quickly have a cup of brewed coffee when I’m in a hurry or use coffee grounds when I want to make my own. The included filter basket makes switching between the two brewing modes simple and clean. I’ve tried different grinds, like medium, dark, and extra-large, and the results have always been the same. The coffee always brews well and evenly. One of my favorite features is the “strong brew” button. When I need a strong, concentrated flavor in the morning, I just press this button, and I get the depth and body I want. It not only makes the coffee stronger, but it also makes the flavor more intense, which is great for those who like a strong cup of coffee. I also think this feature works great for iced coffee. When you use a smaller brew cup on the “strong” setting and pour it over ice, the coffee still has a full flavor without being watered down. You can easily make iced coffee like you would in a coffee shop at home. Overall, I think this Disposable Coffee Maker is a good choice for anyone who wants a reliable machine that makes great coffee without having to do too much. It makes great coffee every time, can make a variety of coffees, and feels like it will last a long time.
I like the Horavie brand for simple, no-nonsense coffee makers that don’t cost a whole lot. I am not a coffee drinker but I enjoy tea made from cacao husks and cocoa dust (leftovers from cocoa nibs production). The loose grounds basket is just perfect for this operation.
What I liked most about this tea maker is I can get a cup of tea by pushing a button and waiting a few minutes. One load of loose cacao tea “leaves” is good for three or four 8-oz cups of tea, after which I empty the the basket, refill with more loose tea, then I’m ready to go again.
What I don’t like so much is forgetting to add more water to the removable reservoir on the back of the machine before I hit the “brew” button. The lid to the reservoir is a bit tricky to handle, according to my mechanically challenged adult son, who somehow managed to drop the lid all the way down inside the full reservoir when he tried to replace the lid. So far I haven’t had any problems with it, but you never know…
I also like how the reservoir can be removed, even when partially full, to refill from a tall-enough faucet. But for the sake of convenience I have taken to refilling from a suitably-sized water bottle stored next to the machine.
Some reviewers complained about this machine dispensing more liquid than it’s supposed to. In my experience it’s about 1 fl oz high, so I use the 8 oz setting for my 12 oz (nominal) cup.
Also, I have to remember to check the level of fluid in my cup before pushing the “brew” button — the machine doesn’t know if the cup is already full, and I don’t know of any “abort” feature to stop dispensing of hot liquid all over the machine base and counter top once it gets going. Note to self: make sure you turn on the room light before starting a brew.
As it is, I like it. My demands or expectations are not too high, and this unit meets or exceeds most of them. No regrets.
The Horavie single serve coffee maker is light, quiet, fast, and easy to operate. With a full tank of water it’s great for a quick cup during the day; and when using the K-cups instead of grounds (or just water for tea) it’s virtually mess free.
The unit brews coffee really fast and it comes out piping hot. It took less than a minute to brew 6 ounces on the strong setting with a K-cup, and about two minutes for 14 ounces using coffee grounds. In both cases I started with a cold mug and the result was too hot to drink immediately without first adding cream – a good thing!
This was my first experience with K-cups and while the convenience is unmatched, there are limitations as to coffee strength due to the single tablespoon of coffee grounds in each K-cup. I like very strong dark roast coffee and I could not achieve that even when brewing only 6 ounces on the strong setting. I used Peet’s Organic Dark French Roast K-cups.
Normally I use the cone filter drip method with 5 tablespoons of dark roast grounds for 16 ounces of water. Seriously strong and probably NOT normal use. It’s more like 16 ounces of espresso. The most I could fit into the container intended for grounds was 3 tablespoons. I set the unit on strong for 14 ounces. It actually made 15- ounces of coffee as you can see in the photo of the measuring cup I poured it into. The coffee tasted good but a bit watered down for me. It would likely be just fine for most people with normal taste buds.
The only way I can see to achieve the extra strong coffee I crave would be using 2+ tablespoons of grounds with 6 ounces of water. Using the 3 tablespoons in the container was a bit much and it left coffee grounds and splashes inside the base unit where it is impossible to clean. I haven’t tried the descaling mode yet, nor the cold brew setting.
Although it functions well, I have a few issues with the cosmetics and design of the unit. Pictures show the trim around the menu pad and the button on top in the same satin stainless finish, but they are actually a glossy chrome finish that looks like cheap plastic unlike the rest of the unit. It’s unfortunate that the button does not automatically cause the lid to pop up. You have to push the button and simultaneously lift the lid.
The MIN/MAX marks are on the back of the water container, and are not visible without turning the machine around to see the backside. I’ll get used to that and premeasure, but putting the MIN/MAX on the sides where it could be easily seen would have been more useful.
The cup holder area has a removable perforated metal plate over a shallow well for catching overflow. Like many other K-cup machines it is not heated. That’s a disadvantage if you need your coffee kept warm; but on the other hand, coffee that sits on a heater quickly turns bitter and harsh.
Overall I’m happy with this device for its convenience. I can’t compare it to any other brand machine but it functions exactly as described by the seller, although ideally I’d make a couple of minor cosmetic changes in the design. Good job, Horavie!
I scoop out the amount I need, seal the container, choose the size of the batch, and the machine takes care of the rest while I attend to other little jobs in the kitchen. This allows me to have a more personalized cup without having to deal with a giant multi-cup maker, which would take up more room and take longer to clean. The fact that I can switch between pods and grounds in the same item means that I do not need separate equipment for various situations or visitors. One of the most pleasant discoveries has been the fact that it is so good at supporting both hot and iced coffee. while it comes to iced beverages, I like to go for a smaller serving size and allow hot coffee to drip over ice in a glass that is durable. This has become a straightforward ritual for me while I am enjoying myself on cozy afternoons. I go back to enjoying bigger servings of hot coffee in my preferred cup when the weather is more on the chilly side. A varied selection of buttons is all that is required in order to switch between these types. When I read the description, the detachable fifty-ounce water reservoir seemed like a minor item; yet, when it is used on a regular basis, it makes a significant impact. I typically fill it up once in the morning and then boil a number of cups for myself and other family members, not having to worry about water again until much later in the day. It is simple to remove the reservoir in order to refill it or rinse it, and doing so allows for rapid cleaning, which enables the machine to work in a consistent manner.
This coffee maker is both unique and convenient. Unlike most single serve machines, this one has the ability to brew regular strength coffee or strong, and to make hot or iced coffee. The control panel is clearly marked to make your choices. It conveniently takes K-cup pods or ground coffee and comes with a plastic receptacle for the K-cups and a mesh insert for coffee grounds. The water reservoir is removable and holds a lot of water for making several cups before needing to be refilled; and it has a helpful alert to refill, when necessary. It even comes with a small scooper on one end and a cleaning brush on the other. At first it seemed the cup area was too narrow for a wider cup and it looked like a taller cup would not fit, but I tried a larger (wider) cup and the coffee dripped safely in, also, the tray comes out for taller cups to fit. The unit has a stylish stainless-steel finish with black accents and it has a sleek and space-saving footprint, which I especially appreciate. Also, it has a helpful cord storage hole in the back. This is a great coffee maker with nice features that I definitely recommend.
I’ve been using this coffee maker for a little over a week now, it’s been pretty smooth so far. Setting it up was simple, I just rinsed the tank, filled it, tried a pod first. The first cup came out faster than I expected. It was steaming hot too, which I like. I’ve tried a few brew sizes now. The strong setting does taste richer, not bitter, just fuller. The iced mode is interesting. The water tank is bigger than it looks. I filled it on Monday and didn’t need to refill until midweek even though I drink two cups a day. The machine itself is pretty compact, it fits under my cabinet without having to tilt it. I like the stainless look. The noise level is moderate.
Cleaning is easy. The pod holder comes out quickly and the drip tray wipes clean without stains. I tried using my own grounds too, and the basket didn’t leak or leave grainy bits at the bottom. You just have to rinse it right after or the coffee dries in the corners. It’s honestly been nice having something quick in the mornings. I keep switching between pods and grounds without much thought. It does what it should, heats fast, hasn’t given me any fuss so far. Feels like a good pick for a small kitchen or anyone who doesn’t want a huge machine on the counter.
