- Can it brew regular ground coffee, or only pods?
- Both. It ships with a reusable HomeBarista filter cup for ground coffee and a pod holder for K-Cup-style pods. You swap the two by hand.
- How many cup sizes does it brew?
- Five: 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 oz. There is no separate strength setting, so a stronger cup means a smaller size or more grounds.
- Does it need plumbing or a water line?
- No. It has a removable 72 oz reservoir you fill by hand. That capacity means fewer refills than brewers with small tanks.
- How often should I clean it?
- Rinse the reservoir and filter cup regularly, and run the descale cycle when the indicator lights. Owners who skip this report stale-tasting coffee.
- Is it a good fit for a small kitchen?
- Check your counter depth first. It is roughly 13 inches deep and 16 inches wide, which is bigger than most single-serve rivals.
- Does it take pods other than K-Cups?
- It is designed for K-Cup-style pods. Other pod formats will not fit the holder, but the included filter cup covers loose grounds.
