@@PatTriesAgain Could be worse, At least you can drink coffee. I have yet to see a brave man, woman, or enby inbetween willing to drink a cup of dice. 🤣
It's the best looking pod brewer I've ever seen. It looks like it belongs in one of those 'boutique' hotel rooms or an AirBnB decorated 100% from Ikea.
One of the other commenters put a timestamp for that moment 7:09 and said “hey, this should be the thumbnail!” and she actually said ‘good idea’ and went and changed it to this. All around nice people here on this channel, especially Morgan.
I also like that mug. Double wall glass is wonderful. Personally, I don't think I would ever put this device on my counter, but it would make a nice gift.
10:21 i have a Keurig and i use re-usable pods/K-cups; if you take out the pod after brewing and let it dry for a couple of hours, the coffee grounds just fall out if you knock it over a bin.... even easier if you use k-cup size paper filters
That little black broom/brush I believe is for cleaning the mesh filter, as it allows you to get into the tiny crevices to clean the gunk out of the mesh pores. Something to use over running water. That’s what I’ve used mine for.
Nice little brewer, I could see it in an apartment or a place with limited counter space. I'm not too fond of pods, I use them when in a hurry, but I prefer Pour-over type coffee, and while I have the plastic pods you fill with your own coffee they are harder to clean, and I think I can tell if I use the paper inserts on pods (that make them easier to clean) it just doesn't taste as rich. I could see buying this or something like this once my K-brewer dies. Nice review, thanks, thumbs up.
Just a tip on scales :) They work in + and -, so by 1. putting the cup with fresh ground coffee on the scale and press tare, 2. then taking it off, dumping the coffee in your aimed brewer, 3. put cup back on the scale, you will get a "negative weight" of how much coffee you have put in your brewer. I do this all the time while using scales since sometimes it saves dishes and time, especially if the brewer cannot be put on a scale.
I feel like if this company plays their cards right, this brewer could be quite a hot little gift trend for the holidays. Pod + pod-less options and a small footprint for that pricepoint could catch on.
I think the advantage to this would be for it's pods capability. You get a 1:1 of water to pod use, you can dispose of the pod after, very easily, and then fill it back up for another cup. For the single use crowd this is a nice device and it certainly looks better than the all handles and silvered plastic of a Keurig. My boomer uncle would love this as he often just wants "a cup of damn coffee" in the morning without fuss. This device and some "good" k-cups would please him to no end as there's no bells and whistles to worry about and clean-up would be a snap. The second use case I could easily see is someone working in an office setting where they don't like the communal coffee for whatever reason. This would nicely fit on a desk, give you the ability to use your own coffee or choice of pods and never have to worry about the black tar in the bottom of the coffee carafe in the break-room ever again.
I bought one of these with the thought of packing it on a trip I was taking. I didn't have high hopes because it's basically a pod brewer that happens to come with a grounds container. The grounds container promised to hold enough coffee to make it interesting. However, the boiler went out on it during the initial flush out stage during setup, so I never actually got it to brew coffee.
I had to go back to my sub feed to check the thumbnail after all the comments Worth it 😂 The machine is a cute lil shape but between a brewer, grinder, and having terrible tap water I just gave up and make coffee at my office 😅
It is cute, but that is as far as I would go, when my Keurig died, and I went to pour over, still have the Bambino, but for coffee every day, pour over is my way to go in the mornings now, after your vids showing proper ways to fix a cup, my cups are so much better every morning, I now have the water to coffee ratio figured out pretty well, I like the control I have with the pour over filter cone and a kettle gives me, and I have a large pour over pot for when guest show up, once again many thanks Morgan :)
This thumbnail is perfect. I clicked and upvoted on my appreciation of the thumbnail alone. I can't afford a new coffeemaker, but I did what I could engagement-wise.
About two weeks ago, under one of your videos, someone wrote a comment about Polish 'kawa sypana.' It was clearly a joke, but I think it would be great if you made a fancy version of this drink. Love your videos!❤
That is a cute coffee maker but my Keurig does the same thing but better. My wife likes her pod coffee and I do French press but I will often make my first coffee in the morning with the Keurig and a regular pod or a refillable one that I bought online. They work fine for me. I clean them out after letting them sit for a while and let the coffee grounds dry. It makes them easier to knock the coffee out. I would put this brewer on my shelf of brewers but I would never use it. Thanks for the video Morgan
"decently bad habit of shopping with reckless abandon online..." Well you are a RU-vidr so this sort of habit is to be expected. You get content and we get warnings on potentially wasteful products.
A small tank prevents stale water. Just like a traditional drip machine it's going to empty the tank through your coffee. The plastic mesh basket ought to come out for easier cleaning (and replacement?) If it doesn't I'd be mad at it
I'm looking at this and I have a very sensible feeling of a little sims scenery. Because of combination of tiny futuristic looking brewer(?) and big, entirely different, a bit grotesque grinder, and also tiny scales that you can use with the grinder but not with the brewing machine. 😊
If you let the grounds dry before emptying hte basket (as many of us inadvertently do), the broom would perfect fit in there to 'dust' the grounds out before putting new in
I'd have it in my work office. where i don't want the coffee to stay hot.. but it would be primarily a pod. either the compostable pods or the reusable pods. but it would work great for my library office aesthetic.
Have you tried the 'pod' module, but with the pods you can fill yourself? That could make cleaning easier. I've seen them in three packs, so you could just knock them into the compost bin, rinse, and let dry while making your second cup.
I can't be the only one who heard Morgan say "freeball" and paid it no mind, hearing it as the intended context of "freehand" until she apologized, prompting Metalocalypse flashbacks.
A coffee maker that makes less than 500mL of coffee at a time is not useful to me for my morning coffee needs, but it is at least fun looking, even if that roundness is a bit awkward. Also love the lighting today, less black crush, very pleasant to watch.
The coffee looked very light. I was worried for you for a second there. I’m so used to very dark coffee, what you first brewed is what I refer to as coffee water
Love the analysis, but for more inexpensive pieces of equipment like this, I'd love to also see how it brews with things closer to the use case scenario. Like, I have a buddy who's single, has a little blade grinder, could I recommend something like this to him? Maybe together with a budget hand grinder, is it easy enough to find a setting that works when the equipment available isn't as "advanced"? Anyway, just some thoughts :) Thanks again for the content!
I feel cheap just going with my Timemore Chestnut X. It seeems to me that it was a pretty light cup of coffee, and I use a low amount of coffee per 300mL of water. As always, I like your energy
Seems to me like a worse version of a keurig. I use plastic (with metal mesh) filters to use normal coffee in my keurig, and you can use the strong setting to slow down the flow of the hot water, and choose cup size as well to control how much water. And the tank of water is far larger, so you don't need to refill it every single cup. And I got mine for almost the same price as that mini Q, like 70 bucks.
A friend of mine has found through a lot of trial and error that the brewers that use pods or allow you to fill your own pod with fresh ground coffee that using a grind size used for aeropress ( medium fine ) works best
I am not sure if you would be interested or have tried it before, but I would love for you to try Turkish coffee and share your thoughts. I think you might enjoy the rich, bold flavor and interesting preparation style, and it would be great to hear your perspective on it. Also, loved the video:)
As much as I love pourover coffee, I find myself wanting a less fussy option, and have always been disappointed by drip brewers. I don't know that this is *that* much less fussy, but I would give it a shot.
It certainly looks nice but I struggle to see the utility. It's basically a single cup batch brewer, with no additional control or automation. It's just heating up a cup of water and moving it a few inches.
This got me thinking about high flow rate filters. My v60 naturals clog easily, and I'd like to find something eco-friendly that will allow the finer grounds to do the flow rate instead of clogging the paper. Any recommendations? I'm imagining fine linen filters like cheese cloth.
Regarding the grind size that you ended up using for a better cups; if you ever open up a k-cup or Nespresso pod you'll see that they're using practically powder. I wonder if thats the only way these machines are able to get flavor out of such a quick brew.
Looked like you could of gone one more adjustment on the grind as it still looked like it was extracting a little quick but interesting machine and stylish for a kitchen
