I got this for in my camper I had a spit in mind for it and it fits well there works good nice size for what I need and not a bad price. Small simple easy to use and clean.

Love this beautiful little gem. My second Keurig k40 died and I bought this little guy for a backup so I could still have coffee with my K-Cups. (One of my k40s water pump went out and the other I think has plug needle or a circuit board problem.) Needless to say I was expecting a decent cup of coffee from using this coffee maker however I was actually impressed this coffee maker makes an excellent cup of coffee. It made a more flavorful cup of coffee then my Keurig and also it was actually hotter than my last Keurig. We'll probably see if I can fix one of my Keurigs in case I need a backup but I'm thinking I would prefer to have this little guy be my main source for coffee over the Keurig. Just got it so we'll have to see how it measures up reliability wise. But two thumbs up five stars this little guy is impressive and definitely worth the money.

Edited 3-10-2025 K-cups are designed to make only 6-8 ounces of coffee. This is not enough. Fortunately, this maker has a basket filter for bulk grinds. I will need to open two pods to make one 12-ounce serving. Keep this in mind if you're considering a K-pod system unless you drink very little or weak coffee. I had previously given this one star, due to the terrible design and lack of instructions on how to open the filter pod. It is not immediately obvious, even to someone as mechanical as myself, repairing things like automobiles, televisions, washing machines, being an electronics tech for over 40 years, etc. I finally had to pry this thing open with a dental pick tool. After this, the method to open would appear to be to hold it in both hands and press your thumb up on the plastic plastic piece shown on the left side of my photo. The other thing I will alert you to when you open this coffeemaker and wonder why the K-pod holder appears to be missing is that they pack it into the water reservoir. So, these annoyances aside, how does the Horavie K1500 fare? Being retired and living alone with absolutely no friends, I finally realized that I'll likely never be making coffee for anyone other than myself and I typically brew 12 ounces at a time. The compact footprint of the K1500 takes very little real estate from my very small counters. The fact that I can just brew straight into my thermal cup means no carafe to clean or pour from. The K-pods mean I don't need to bend a cone filter's edges, grind coffee beans, or measure in grounds. These may seem like trivial things, but once you retire, you start thinking about ways to reduce the little daily chores. At least, I have. This is why I've "Smartitized" the house, automating practically everything: lights, fans, heaters, stereo, television, etc. Aside from opening the filter pod, this K1500 is easy to deploy. The first thing is just to add 12 ounces of water to it, place a cup in the stand, an push the button on top. I like the fact they put it on top instead of on the side of the base. Very convenient. Empty the first "brewed" water and grab a K-pod. I'm assuming this is the primary reason people buy this coffeemaker. This is my first experience with K-pod makers. I would never buy the overpriced Keurig units, especially aftwr discovering they actually put cameras in some of them to try and prevent consumers from using other than Keurig coffee pods. What a jerk move. By the way, if you own one of these, just save the foil tops from Keurig pods and tape them to the top of your other brand pods. This K1500 does indeed brew a 12-oz cup in under 2 minutes. There is, of course, no hot plate, so I advise using an insulated cup. The blue one in my photo has a capacity of 16 ounces and works well. I also bought it on Amazon. The unit turns itself off. I add my sugar before brewing, so I need only to stir and snap on the lid. The temperature of the coffee is slightly on the lower side. The best coffee is brewed between 190 and 205 degrees Fahrenheit. This maker does not come close to reaching these temperatures. I measured the stream with a laser thermometer and found it to be around 160-165 degree at its hottest. This should be adequate for most people. The first coffee pods I purchased are Mel's Drive-In Diner Blend. I will not review them until I've tasted them more, but the initial opinion is okay.

Works great for on the go! Brews an 11oz cup of coffee in 2 minutes + 15 seconds for it to purge the last few drops. A smaller cup will brew quicker. Easy to use and well designed. It appears sturdy in construction. You can nest a coffee mug and several k-pods within the confines of the unit for traveling. The unit and the mug / pods take the same amount of space as a small pair of walking shoes (size 8). The cord is a bit short at 28 inches so you will need a counter height receptacle or an extension cord. It operates quietly and is easy to clean. I travel with this because many hotels are discontinuing in room coffee pots. You will have to refill the water reservoir before each use.

I got this for camping. I like to stay at campsites with AC power, and this makes brewing a single cup of coffee quick and easy. It comes with two inserts, one that is screened for coffee grounds and another that holds a standard K-cup. I'm giving this unit 4 stars rather than 5 because although the K-cup holder works, the unit will NOT close or work if you use the reusable K-cups. I prefer doing that (easier to clean and less waste than single-use K-cups) but since the lid won't close I'll have to use screen cup. The unit is light, easy to use, and brews a good cup of coffee in about 5 minutes.
