I was surprised at the heft of this pan. It's heavy for its size.
Months later, it's still perfectly non-stick and has fantastic heat distribution.

 Maxwell House - French Roast K-Cup Pods (60-Pack)
Maxwell House - French Roast K-Cup Pods (60-Pack)
Launch your day with a steaming cup of Maxwell House® French Roast dark roast coffee from single-serve K-Cup® pods. The well-known company makes an assortment of special blends with custom-roasted 100% Arabica beans. The signature Maxwell House® taste is created through a process that hasn’t been done the easy way, but the right way, for 125 years. These Maxwell House® K-Cup® pods deliver coffee with a rich, full flavor that’s good to the last drop. Each sip will have a perfectly smooth and consistent great taste of dark roast coffee with intense, bold flavor. They are made for use with Keurig® K-Cup® pod coffee makers. The convenient K-Cup® pods help you get your morning off to a delightful and tasty start. Our coffee was first served to guests of Nashville’s Maxwell Hotel in 1892. After running out of our coffee, the hotel had to return to their usual brand of coffee, to the dismay of their guests. The patrons loved our coffee so much they complained to the hotel, and soon Maxwell House® Coffee became the only coffee served at the hotel. That’s how Maxwell House® got its name, and our coffee has been good to the last drop ever since.

When I was a kit, Maxwell House was "guest coffee".
I'm happy to see that their flavor has stayed true to brand all these years later.
The k-cups have a lot of coffee in them.
They make a 14oz cup loaded with flavor and not weak at all.
If you make a 6oz cup, it's strong enough to make a latte.
Not quite espresso strength, but very close.

I could give this 5 stars for the fact that it works great, but there are a couple of things that are annoying.
1. It's loud. Like, an airplane taking off in your kitchen loud.
2. You have to use the tool to tighten the blade base, as tight as you can, into the cup/pitcher or it will leak like crazy.
3. It's hard to remove the blade base to clean it because you tightened it as much as you could to prevent it from leaking.
4: The motor base is heavy.
The good:
1. easy "fool proof" operation.
2. large capacity cups/pitchers
3. the cord it long enough so you don't have to use it up against an outlet, you have some room.
4. the puree is smooth, even with things like broccoli and kale, it's perfectly smooth and silky. I'd put it against my vitamix in that department.
5. the heat function works amazingly well and you get steaming hot "soup" from it.
6. the power button on the side is convenient to interrupt the blending.

I've only had this a few days, but I've drank enough espresso to light up Vegas lol.
1: it's small, really small, in the best way. It takes up so little counter space.
2: I've noticed no quality/flavor difference between the espresso and Lungo sizes, it's not watery tasting on the Lungo with the Nespresso brand pods.
3: it's quiet, really quiet. If you've used other espresso machines that sound like an airplane taking off, this one will pleasantly surprise you.
4: it cools down after use very fast, so if you're storing it, you don't have to wait an hour for it to cool off.
5: the water tank is super easy to remove and replace.
6: it heats up really fast.
7: the espresso comes out really piping hot.
8: it's just a great all-around starter espresso machine that's easy to use and produces a good flavored drink.

Does how it clean? Self cleaning? Is there a descale light? Thank you.

There's a "clean" button on top.
I haven't had it long enough to say if it's a stand alone button or if you have to use a descaling solution.

Are there any disposable filters available for the ground coffee option to replace the permanent filter? Thanks!

The booklet says not to use paper filters, but it's tempting because fine ground coffee seems to leave sludge with just the permanent filter.

If the oscillation function stops working, yes it makes a whirring sound (I've had 2 with that issue after 6 months of use).
