Disappointed

Pros

Cons
Very Expensive Coffee

Comment:
If CR recommended this unit, they are wrong. While easy to operate, you will spend a lot of time trying to find the pods. When you do, you'll see that they are price-fixed. You cannot trick the system by installing an open unit which enables you to use your own coffee. I received mine as a gift. If I had bought it, I would have returned it.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
