gave as a gift -- exactly what the requester wished to receive. Only place to obtain this item other than the Target website, and shipping was very quick and efficient.
Once I returned it, I was only going to get a small refund, which was okay, but I have never received the refund. I thought this was going to be a good item, but to my surprise, when I used it, it did not brew and it did not heat up. Dollarite owes me money, and I should have had it by now.
I would not recommend it to anyone, as I consider it unreliable. But after a week, the appliance stopped working for no apparent reason. Everything was good - performance, design, ease of use and accessibility, which was a drawing card since both my friend and I are totally blind. It only worked for an hour and quit just as the first one did. I purchased a Hamilton Beach three-in-one hot beverage center as a gift for my friend. She was only too delighted to receive and use it. Thinking it was just a bad luck with a defective unit, I purchased another one.
I can even use pods with it. There are times that I'm making myself a cappuccino and my partner a cup of coffee. I bought Senseo pods and found them to be too weak in this machine. This little machine is wonderful for 1 cup of coffee.quickly.using my beans. Since I like a strong cup of coffee, I make my own pods and they work great. They both finish at the same time, which is under 2 mins.
So as not to waste them, we open them up and dump the coffee in the included filter with this machine and the coffee comes out great. I have a Tassimo machine, which I absolutely love, but occasionally I'd like to use my own beans. It's compact enough to sit on my counter right next to the Tassimo. My son liked mine so much that I bought him one for his new place.One note on the pod thing.
it makes very good coffee,tea,hot chocolate, etc and leave no coffee grains in my cup. I immediately make a call to customer service. I discover that the pod holder was missing. I truly recommend the Hot Beverage Center to everyone. I received my Hot Beverage Center on time. I did inventory to make sure I had all the parts. They immediately sent me the pod holder.
