Instant Solo Single Serve Coffee Maker

I got tired of throwing good money out on the K machines. Trying the Instant brand. So far it is easier to add water and brew. It doesn’t like off brand coffee K-cups so much as the two times I’ve used the off brand, I’ve gotten a little overflow with grounds going into the coffee cup. Haven’t tried the loose coffee grounds yet, but hoping that is successful. Will update if any issues with the loose grounds.

Pros
  • Coffee, Tea & Espresso
Cons
  • The design of the Instant Solo is not aesthetically appealing

This is a great little coffee maker

The coffee is piping hot: I can use pods or grounds and keep water in the take for my next cup. Only thing is short cups will be splattered and I only have one travel size cup that fits. I’m going to try and find some taller mugs.

Pros
  • EASY-TO-USE INTERACTIVE INTERFACE & SOUND NOTIFICATIONS: Delivers intuitive control by using key sounds to alert the user during the entire brewing process while the flat-touch sensor buttons give you effortless control.
Cons
  • The reusable coffee pod that comes with the Instant Solo is difficult to clean properly

Good, but not great

I have embarked upon a quest to find the best coffee maker at the best price.The Instant Solo has a lot of things going for it. It’s fast! I don’t have to wait 5 minutes for my K brand coffee maker to decide whether or not it’s going to work. The Solo works instantly and that’s pretty great.Unfortunately, the flavor just isn’t there. I have used 4 kinds of grounds in the handy reusable pod, and 10 varieties of K cup in the Solo. The flavors are muted, like they were brewed with far more water…

Pros
  • Note: 1)Too coarse a grind, too little coffee, or insufficiently tamping the grounds before brewing can all lead to inadequate pressure for a proper brew. 2)It is important to note that the amount of espresso extracted will vary depending on the grind size and amount and reprogramming may be needed when the size and amount are adjusted
Cons
  • The Instant Solo is not as durable as other coffee makers on the market

Instant success with cup by cup brewing

This replaced a similar brewer that was bursting certain K cups and delivering too little water per brew of both K cups and ground coffee. That one was also hard to clean. This Solo brewer has brewed Twinings tea K cups, hot chocolate K cups, and coffee K cups, plus finely ground beans of two types, flawlessly. I brew everything on the bold setting. There is nothing left to clean that is not taken care of by an occasional brew without a beverage. The K cup holder comes out for deeper…

Pros
  • H - Has a large water reservoir for multiple cups of coffee
Cons
  • The Instant Solo does not have an auto shut-off feature

Great for families who use K-Cups AND who don't!

I had a dilemma. Visiting family members who love their K-Cups, and me . who drinks dark roast decaf that doesn't come in K-Cups. And I'm not dealing with two coffee makers! My daughter was going to bring her Keurig when she came to visit, but how inconvenient is that?Fortunately, my 12-cup coffeemaker broke - yes, that sounds weird - and I was on the search for a new one. My doctor had been advising me to cut down on my coffee intake, so a single-cup machine seemed like a good idea to break me

Pros
  • W - World-renowned brand that inspires trust
Cons
  • The Instant Solo is not compatible with all types of coffee pods

Make coffee good for me

This machine makes coffee just fine. Not sure what I expected. It does make a mess. For normal cups, it splashes coffee when used. After brew stops, no matter how long you wait, once you move cup it drops down on tray. Everytime. So cleaning is a constant. The coffee is warm at best. So if you like hot coffee, a microwave is a must. I hate to microwave coffee, but hate coffee that's not hot. The reusable filter is nice, but lots of stuff gets buy. So I recommend add a k cup filter. I got this…

Pros
  • L - Large brewing capacity up to 12 Oz
Cons
  • The Instant Solo is not suitable for making large batches of coffee

Best Purchase I Have Made!

Very easy to use! Don’t have to wait for the water to heat up! It takes regular k cups otherwise it came with its own filter my coffee tastes better than my old one! It’s quick at filling up the cup! And easy to set up! Nothing wrong with it at all! I love it!

Pros
  • Kitchen & Dining
Cons
  • The Instant Solo is not user-friendly

Easy to use best in my review

I very much like this coffee maker. The re-useable pod is great and easy to clean. The top of the pod is supposed to be a scoop, I think. I don't use it as one. I think it would be messy to use that way. We fill the pod up with a spoon, about 2/3rds the way full and that is perfect for the 12 Oz setting we use.We like the different cup settings. There's an 8, 10 or 12 Oz setting. The settings are super easy to use. Just touch buttons on the top.The water tank is very easy to fill and clean. It…

Pros
  • E - Easy to use and clean
Cons
  • The Instant Solo is not as fast as other coffee makers on the market

Quality and good design: great value

After 3 cheap single-serving coffee makers, I was thinking about an upgrade. ebay had a great deal for the Instant Solo. We have an Instant Pot for years, and is quality. The Instant Solo is superb, especially for the price. Well engineered and designed. The only thing I COULD comment on is the reusable basket. It is somewhat small - but, I always make my coffee way stronger than most. So, I use the 8oz setting only for the reusable basket. I will try to review again in 6-7 months, for the…

Pros
  • D - Delivers hot and flavorful coffee in just minutes
Cons
  • The reusable coffee pod that comes with the Instant Solo is not compatible with all types of coffee
