Instant™ Pot ® Solo™ Single Serve Coffee Maker, White

When my Cuisinart single serve died, I needed to replace it, but the $149-$159 cost was out of the question, so the search began. I've had 3 Keurigs and was not pleased with them, so that brand was out. I wasn't sure about Solo but it was reasonably priced and had good reviews. Now, after almost 3 weeks of using it, I can say I made a very good choice. This single serve brewer takes up far less space on my countertop. Although I wish it came in a stainless steel finish, it's attractive in black. Operation is simple. Tap the power icon, tap your cup size (8, 10, or 12 ounces), and you're done. There is a bold option you can also tap where the brew is longer to extract more flavor. I haven't used that yet because I'm pleased with the strength of the coffee without it. The cup brews quickly. There's maybe a 10 second wait time before coffee begins flowing into the cup. The machine is quiet, and when I remove the k cup it is not drippy. Most importantly, my coffee is hot and the flavor is excellent. Cleaning is easy. I haven't had to run a cleaning cycle yet, but cleaning the exterior is a breeze. Far fewer cracks and crevices where the coffee splashes gather. My Cuisinart splashed a lot. I was constantly wiping the unit behind where the cup sits and thought it was normal. This unit hardly splashes at all. The water reservoir holds 42 ounces and I thought I'd be filling it all the time. My old unit held 72 ounces. Yes, I have to fill the Solo reservoir more often, but not where it's a bother and I realize that my water is fresher. Finally, the top on the reservoir is round. No big deal, right? Well, it is a big deal, surprisingly. When I was in a hurry with my old unit, if I didn't put the top on just right, it would drop into the water reservoir and I'd have to fish it out. It happened pretty often and it was irritating. The reservoir top on the Solo does not and cannot fall into the reservoir because it is round. Such a little thing, but so very nice. Now that I have experienced the Solo, even if I had money to purchase a more expensive brand, I would still pick the Solo. I am well pleased with it and highly recommend it. The Instant Pot people have another winning appliance!

I just got this after my Cuisinart k cup coffee maker died after 3 1/2 years. The price has gone up since I bought it last, and I had Keurigs, but the last Keurig I had leaked after 2 years. I read the reviews on Amazon, then I went to YouTube to watch Just A dad who reviews appliances. He helped a lot. It doesn't mention this in the instructions,but fyi, when you hit the power button and the cup size the coffee maker makes a noise as it heats up. It then dispenses a few drops of coffee , then stops while it saturates the coffee grounds, this takes like about 10 seconds, then it dispenses the coffee. When I first turned it on, and it stopped I thought something was wrong then I remembered what the guy said on YouTube. Also this is a big also, do not used distilled water or water that has been treated, it will wear down the wires quickly. Just use plain tap, or plain bottled water with no minerals and not distilled. But the instruction booklet says that anyway. This makes a very good cup of coffee, and get out your larger mugs/cups because it dispenses the correct ounces. My other machines would dispenser 9-9 1/2 ounces of coffee when I hit the 10 oz selection. This dispenses 10 ounces. Thankfully I have my smelly cat mug which is 14 ounces. It does have a smaller 40 ounce reservoir but that's ok, it's better than letting the water sit around if you're the only one drinking coffee in the house. All in all so far so good. I'll add to the review later if I need to. Updated May 7, 2024 I'm sending this instant pot coffee maker back for a refund. I've only had it a little more than 3 weeks, and already having problems with it. Every so often, it will spew hot water after it brews the coffee. Then, once it's done brewing, the top won't open easily, you have to use both hands to pry it open. I did the trouble shooting by using a paperclip to clean out the needles. The openings to the needles are on the side, not the bottom; maybe that's why there are so many returns on this coffee maker. I also watched on YouTube, a lady sent this coffee maker back about 3 times and got a replacement from Amazon. In one clip the coffee makers spews out coffee grounds into the cup in clumps. In another clip, a different color instant pot coffee maker shoots steam out the top and the front of the coffee maker, so extreme, she and her husband had to run away from the coffee maker. The Cuisinart one I bought before is on sale, so I'm getting a refund and getting that one instead

Esta muy bonita, muy fácil de usar, súper funcional

This has replaced a 5 mo old top model keurig and even though Keurig is sending me a new one I decided I needed to try another make and have a backup. This is far more simple to operate than the keurig and it brews hotter coffee. It has less features and offers less cup sizes but I find 8,10 &12oz sizes is all I need and would use. The flavour using McCafe is not quite as good as the keurig but not enough difference to make me return it. Build quality is on par plus amazon has a 90 return or replace warranty on it and after that the manufactures 1yr warranty. That's excellent because most problems arise within those 90days. One major difference that gives this 5 stars is that it puts no coffee grinds in the cup of coffee. The keurig did unless you cleaned it out after every use. That was unacceptable this is the first of out 4 Keurigs that did that. I phoned them and they said that is normal because of the multiple punctures it makes in the pod. Maybe I had a bad machine because it died within 5mos. I no longer trust them so time will tell if Instant pot solo will prove to outlast and out perform over the next weeks and months. I just got it today so these are my initial impressions so I will update if I have any issues with it. I do recommend it. UPDATE After time if not properly cleaned with a bacteria killer like bleach etc this will harbour bacteria. The many reason is this does get the water hot enough. That is a major flaw. I got sick from using it and I thought I had kept it cleaned. I stopped using it and return to using the top Model Keurig which has a temperature adjustment setting in the menu. At its highest temp it produce far hotter coffee than this Instant solo. At first I loved its simplicity but always had to add boiling water to a cup of coffee after adding milk. Totally unacceptable plus the coffee made from a Keurig is far better tasting even though this machine has its issues...coffee grinds in coffee as does the Solo. I find myself have to run just water thru either machine to get rid of grinds so they don't go in the next cup of coffee. Still the keurig wins hands down. The solo would be fine if it made a really hot cup of coffee and over time with constant use produces less hot coffee.

UK delivered 'Instant Solo 2-in-1 Coffee Machine': It does not work on UK mains power - despite what Rufus /Amazon states. Question to Fufus/Amazon: Does it work with UK mains power? "Yes, the Instant Solo 2-in-1 Coffee Machine is designed for UK use and comes with a UK plug. As it's sold on Amazon UK, it's fully compatible with the standard UK voltage (230V) and mains power supply. The machine operates on standard household electrical requirements, so you can simply plug it in and start brewing without needing any adaptors or converters." This is NOT correct - it was sent as a 120v 60Hz model with an American plug

Muy agradable producto, el café se prepara rápidamente, algunas personas se quejan del residuo pero no es tanto, ni nada que no se pueda solucionar con una cuchara o dejándolo al fondo de la taza. Muy satisfecha con la compra

Now after 2 years - no problems. I have went through 5 keurigs- they self destruct after 1 year. Looks good against other white/stainless appliances The instapot logo doesn't look great but a sticker fixed that
