Makes good coffee - sometimes

If you are only going to use grounds this maker is probably okay for you. If you are going to use K-cups, then keep shopping. The needle quite often gets clogged with grounds and you have to use a paperclip / toothpick to unclog it (sometimes getting hot water spewed on you). I called Hamilton Beach customer service and their solution was to use the paperclip and clean the maker with vinegar. We use RO water, so the maker stays quite clean. And it's clogged on K-cups since it was first opened - I don't believe a dirty unit is a contributing factor in this instance. I was really disappointed in HB that they acknowledged the problem, but just shrugged it off as "that's just the way it is."
So, if you are looking at this maker as an alternative to a Keurig, then keep shopping. This is not the maker you are looking for....
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
