Overview
A household split between pod drinkers and full-pot drinkers gets both from one machine. A pod holder and a single-serve brew basket handle one cup at a time, a carafe takes a full pot of grounds, and Alexa can start a brew from a smart speaker or the app.
Flexibility is the reason to buy: pods, single-serve grounds and a full carafe all come from one footprint. The large removable reservoir cuts trips to the sink between cups. Smart features depend on Alexa, so homes on another voice platform gain little from them.
Who it's for
Mornings with different coffee habits under one roof are what the three brew paths serve. Commuters can fill a tall travel mug with grounds. Espresso drinkers should look elsewhere, since this is a drip machine.
Pros and cons
- Pods, single-serve grounds and carafe in one
- Removable reservoir for several cups per fill
- Travel mug fits under the single-serve side
- Fast single cup brewing
- Voice control listed for Alexa only
- Carafe warming plate details not listed
- Pod cup smaller than the grounds cup
- Drip only, no espresso or milk frothing
Performance notes
Single cup speed comes from heating only the water for one serving. Strength depends on the pod or the amount of grounds used, and the reservoir size decides how many single cups run before a refill. Alexa Routines can trigger a brew with a custom voice command.
