"I AM DRINKING THIS COFFEE RIGHT NOW AND I CANNOT STOP SHOUTING AND WRITING IN CAPS LOCKS IT IS SO GOOD AND IT IS SUPER CAFFINATED AND PUNCTUATION IS FOR LOSERS THAT LIKE WEAK COFFEE."
"I was taken aback by the package itself, the top sealed even after the plastic tines kept it rolled down and some type of circle, as though I were expected to jab a syringe into this bag, perhaps to use as an IV, stared at me. Hanging my head in shame, I accepted that some things would come in time, and used a pair of safety scissors - the only type my infantile self was allowed to handle - to open the bag and access the heavenly aromas within. The milk granted my coffee a grey pallor, indeed as though the skull and crossbones from the packaging were attempting to form inside my cup; the sugar either dissolved totally or was completely erased from this physical plane, I am still not certain. In the five days hence, I have had to shave ten times, my shirts ill fit, and my friends do not recognize me for my rippling Adonis-like physique."
"I can hear the voices louder and smell colors!"
"I drink lots of coffee so I wanted to try this coffee out. Something about this coffee wasn't right."
"This is the coffee for you."
"I made a mistake and ordered the ground coffee instead of the whole bean, but the flavor was smooth and not bitter."
"I will be seeking more high caffeine coffees, but I will purchase this again because the flavor is so rich."
For all the coffee drinkers and aficionados who despise the long cafe lines, dread the overwhelming coffee options or need a fix for those early morning caffeine pains -- fear no more. 12 cup glass carafe included or brew into a travel or regular sized mug using single serve function.

When I plugged in the 2nd charge cable however the charging amperage dropped from 2.32 amps to .08 amps (not good). I flipped the cable over and plugged it in and got 2.32 amps again, but it went back down to .08 amps when I plugged the cable back in the original position (AmazonBasics logo pointing up, see the pics below.). Before I got this tester I had no idea if USB cables or chargers were good or bad."
"End of the cable melted and started smoking."
"was charging iphone last night on nightstand and woke up to this."
"I skeptical and decided to proceed with ordering this product based on the overwhelming amount of positive reviews along with the fact of having positive experience with amazonbasics cables in the past (standard length)."
"We have had this charger for about two months."
"I ordered three of these to have on hand as replacements."
"At 6 months, the cable stopped charging."
"This "Apple Certified"lightning cable literally melted and fried my iPhone 6S Plus during charging. Simply plugging into a standard household outlet and my phone the cable overheated, causing a fire hazard, and started melting (as evidenced by the plastic coating bubbling up in the photos) and emitted the distinct "electrical fire/melting smell." It's not worth saving a few dollars on cables to end up having to replace an $800 phone or worse yet, loss of life and/or home due to fire."

"It's been a few years since I had a grinder, but with the insane cost of coffee from retail drive-through, I'm back to being a fan of making my own."
"BEWARE: I purchased the burr grinder model based on the high rating here, but only noticed after that 90% of the positive reviews were for the blade grinder instead. Here, there is enough difference (I'd hope) between the blade and the burr grinder that I feel mislead by a unified rating for both products."
"This grinder advertises that it can do everything from coarse to fine grind, but it seems that whatever setting is used produces an inconsistent grind consisting of some powdery grounds and the rest super coarse...so coarse that we aren't getting proper extraction and have watery tasting coffee. As for the reviews on Amazon, it seemed to have great reviews, but on further inspection, I realized that all the reviews are actually for completely different grinder."
"This is an inferior version of a Krups grinder even though it says "KRUPS"."
"this is supposed to be a precision burr grinder, and with 48 discrete "clicks" on the grind selector, labeled from 1-9 with half marks, all it really does is make a variation of drip coffee grind. you'll do better with a basic blade grinder. also,makes a freakin mess every time you go to dump the grinds, the plastic container is a static generator, and grinds go all over the counter."
"I've had this grinder for almost 2 years and use it about twice a week."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I am an average person who likes mochas from the coffee shop, but I live 80 miles from town, so I don't get them very often and wanted to try making them at home. I read a lot of blogs and watched online videos from real baristas giving tips how to make good espresso drinks at home before purchasing this. The call: In short, customer service told me to run a cleaning cycle per directions from page 16 in the user manual. Anyway, after a couple times running the double shot espresso button the temperature went from consistent 157*F to 175-182*F. Wahoo! BTW, I was using a good quality quick, calibrated thermometer that I use for caramel making, which is a very exacting process to do right. So I figured it could accurately measure the espresso before it cooled from air temperature, which by the way is mere seconds I found out. NOTE: The higher temperature is NOT for drinking comfort (how hot you like it) it is what the espresso NEEDS to properly extract and not be bitter. You can let it sit a few minutes if you don't like it that hot, personally I don't want a burned tongue, so I wait a little. Honestly though it's faster shipping it back and waiting for a replacement machine because it doesn't get hot enough, this WORKS. You can use the hand held cone burr grinders for the most accurate fine ground. Too fine (Turkish grind, which is like flour) and it clogs the filter making the machine unable to push all the water through. Too course (regular coffee machine grind) and the water goes through too fast making it bitter. However, in the morning I am cranky and impatient, I'm also lazy, so I've ordered a couple different electric burr grinders to see if that works as well. Also, but a metal tamper, the plastic one isn't sturdy enough for 30 lbs pressure, it bents and packs unevenly. Before you make your cup each morning, warm the machine as directions indicate, but ALSO run a shot of plain water through first. You can open the lid and fill the reservoir with it ON the machine with a pitcher if taking it on and off is too hard. This is a good machine for the average espresso based specialty coffee drinker."
"Several days I spent reviewing 'all in one' espresso machines, and there's a lot to filter through (get it? What I REALLY like about it is that it's pretty much an all in one system without the thousand dollars plus all in one cost. I push one button and all the magic happens, and it's quite entertaining to watch the espresso cascade through the milk and create separate layers. Just hold the top button for the coffee grind connector (w/e you call it) to get cleaned and hold the bottom button for the milk frother to get cleaned... that's pretty simple! I did notice that the milk froth cleaner doesn't get all the milk out of the metal tube, but since it slides right off and is pretty easy to clean it's not that big of a deal to me."
"I also have a Mr. Coffee burr grinder Mr. Coffee BVMC-BMH23 Automatic Burr Mill Grinder, Black/Silver so that I am making the freshest coffee possible and I buy my coffee freshly roasted from a local company. The milk container lid is where it connects to the main part of machine. Before going out and buying another machine if one of the parts fails... see if they carry a replacement. I was impressed with the reasonable prices and quick shipping on the Mr. Coffee website. I had another machine that had great reviews made by Hamilton Beach back in the day, but it was really lacking compared to this machine."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Every day it makes amazing espresso, and as long as I keep it clean it preforms beautifully. This thing is also easier to maintain and requires less cleaning than other cheaper espresso machines I've tried. If the machine keeps going over or under on the pressure gauge, try cleaning the grinder. And remember to clean with those desolvable tablets when the clean me light comes on! I chose Urnex Cafiza Espresso Machine Cleaning Tablets here on amazon, and they work great! I know many would rather use a separate burr grinder, but this thing works perfectly fine, and is easy to clean. Many complained about the coffee machine heating up the beans too much if you leave them inside the hopper, but I actually store my beans in a special container outside of the hopper, and use the included the scoop to pour in the beans when I grind them. 12) Has an automated cleaning cycle to clean the insides of the grouphead. 15) Includes tools to clean out the filters. Some things that bother me (Cons)*. 1)The top of the machine is plastic. 2) The bottom sides of the machine is plastic. 3) The water tank needs to be refilled often. 4) The bottom water catcher thing (sorry) needs to be emptied often, but its not too bad. Edit: It seems quite a few people had problems with the machine dying on them, If your machine died on your please comment on this review with any information you think may help, such as the level of maintenance you preformed while your machine was working, the brand of water filters and cleaning tablets you used, etc."
"I had a $30 Mr Coffee machine, then when that started acting up replaced it with a $150 Cuisinart that served well for about 6 years. I did work at a coffee cart for a couple years in college, though I was the first employee, so my training may have been lacking. If you're looking for a mess free experience, you may want to double or triple your spending and look at fully automated machines. I am the only coffee drinker in the house, so it is harder for me to justify spending money on high end separate components. So when I purchased this machine, I only spent a couple hundred out of pocket for it (if it breaks after 18 months, I'll be sad, but I'll probably buy it again since I didn't `pay' full price for it). I've seen some people say they had issues with it not registering any pressure, but it's hard to know their circumstances- beans, grind, tamp, broken gauge, etc. If you want to minimize the amount of grounds falling onto the counter, you can rest your index finger cross ways on the front exposed lip of the filter when the grinding process is halfway done. When you turn the steam off, there is supposed to be an 8 second wait before the machine purges, I think it's closer to 5 from my experience. On occasion the filter basket will get stuck to the shower head, mostly when it's an empty shot, once in a while when there are coffee grounds in it. If that happens, I just put the portafilter back over the filter about half way up, then give it a little tug and it usually pops off easily. If you're looking for dry pucks, the key to that is to steam the milk after getting the shot of espresso with the portafilter in place. The steaming process directs pressure to the filter basket, which will squeeze out more water from the grounds. I have dumped grounds without steaming afterwards, and while they were noticeably wetter, when the puck dropped it stayed together as one formed piece instead of falling into pile of mush. (I did that last week, knocked over my travel mug while steaming milk, so I needed to do a second shot, now my 2 year old gives me a friendly reminder to not spill my coffee every morning). For maintenance, I perform the clean cycle with a tablet every 2 months (I average using the machine once a day). I have been very happy with this machine with very few complaints (some issues have been self-inflicted, like forgetting to add water to the tank, it survived). The prices on most of the pieces are not outrageous, so that leaves me hope that a year or two down the road as components wear out, it should be possible to replace them yourself and keep the machine running. Sorry this got long... Hopefully someone finds this information useful, and if you're looking for an easy to use machine that still gives you room to play around with, this is a good one to consider, I highly recommend it. Also, I stepped away one time with the steam wand in milk to finish heating it up, and ended up getting distracted and forgetting it. I had quite the mess and felt a little dumb, but cycled the machine off and on and started over to heat the milk appropriately this time. I've continued to have good luck with it, just needing to adjust the grinding settings on occasion when switching beans or seasonal changes that affect the house temp and humidity. It did seem the frothing wand was not expressing its usual amount of steam at one point, so I cleaned with it a small little pin, inserting it in the tip (I can't recall if one of those came with this machine or if it was from a previous one, I think one came with it tho, little metal stick in a black plastic thumb drive looking thingy)."

"I have been making iced tea the old school way by boiling water, added my tea bags, steeping for 6-7 minutes, then adding to a container of cold water.....for years I've done it that way. One thing I will add in my review that I wished I had read in others -- the way this iced tea maker wants you to make tea is filling the pitcher up with ICE and having the tea brew on top of it."
"Im a HUGE Arnold Palmer fan and you can brew up a pitcher in no time flat with this thing."
"We couldn't get the tea stains off the old pitcher and there was mold in the top where the tea bags go."
"However, the machine can only make enough iced tea at one time to fill about 1/3 of the pitcher."
"So it takes up lots of space in the refrigerator and while I can handle it with one hand (one hand opening the refrigerator and the other to lift and put the pitcher back in) my sister who doesn't lift weights (and has small hands...size small in gloves) can not! Because of the size of the pitcher I will be looking for something with a smaller footprint to transfer the tea."
"I always have to restart it several times before the pot brews because the water doesn't drain correctly from the tea bag holder."
