Hamilton Beach Commercial HDC200B Hospitality 1 Cup Pod Coffeemaker, Black

We use it to heat water for instant coffee. This isour 2nd one, plus we gifted one. I love the small size, too!!

I needed a coffee maker for camping. I chose this one due to the 500w heater because I'll be powering it with a Jackery 500. It brewed a perfect cup of coffee in just a few minutes. Output was 425 watts, and my battery life was at 96% afterwards. Based on other reviews, I was worried about the strength of the coffee. However, I had no issues. I used 1 cup of water and 1 Melitta pod (medium roast), and it came out nice and dark. This is great for our camping needs.

Easy to use and easy to keep clean.

It seems like a nice drip brewer. I think the problems that some reviewers have with "watery coffee" is a result of the amount of water used. For example, my Philips HD7810 produced relatively small "cups" of coffee using 4 oz for 1 cup, 8 oz for two cups. The outside of the box for this Hamilton Beach says that it is for 8-12 ounce cups and "brews an 8 oz cup in less than 3 minutes". I don't know for sure if it is bad to use less than 8 ounces at a time. This is one example of how instructions would be useful.. It also would be good to have some instructions about cleaning/descaling. Some coffee maker manufacturers advise using vinegar for that purpose while others specifically warn against using vinegar in their machines. When I tried to get the instructions from the Hamilton Beach site I got a warning that the site contains harmful programs.

Quit working after one month. Very disappointed as these one cup soft pod coffee makers are hard to find. Not much of a choice.

Affordable and efficient Way to make a single cup of coffee, my grandmother loves it very easy to use and doesn’t take up a lot of counter space Coffee comes out nice and hot.

Works awesome

Buyer beware, this item says it's a "pod" coffee maker which I think a lot of people just assume is a k-cup, but it's not. It's the flat, soft kind you find in motels. In fact, that's what this little thing is meant for which is why I'm giving it three stars, because the until itself is pretty cool. I ended up keeping it for later use but had to order another machine which was only about $10 more. I just wish the product description had been more explicit that by "pod" they mean something different than what most people are used to.
