    In this video I unbox and test out the Amazon Basics Dual Brew Single Serve Capsule Coffee Maker - amzn.to/3wAGcJ8 (both standard and compact versions on the same link). It's Amazon's version of a Keurig K-cup maker, but better since you can also brew with your own coffee grounds! It comes in full size and compact versions, great for us single people, college students, or anyone that doesn't want to make a whole pot of coffee for just themselves! (And who doesn't want to pay twice as much for a Keurig!)
    Other cool stuff:
    This is the air fryer I recommend since they don't offer mine anymore - COSORI Pro II Air Fryer Oven Combo, 5.8QT Max XL amzn.to/3FFt5dU
    Alpha Grillers Instant Read Meat Thermometer (a MUST for air fryer owners!) - amzn.to/3E2R4nL
    Equipment:
    Samsung A53 cell phone (love it!)
    MAYBESTA Professional Wireless Lavalier Lapel Microphone for Android/PC/USB-C connection amzn.to/3kSJncN (additional coupon on page)
    They also have an iPhone version -

    It certainly is terrific I am using it mostly for my ground coffee. Tip I grind my ground coffee much finer not quite expresso fine but finer than it comes in the canister. It improves the taste and makes it a little stronger. Excellent flavor.

    For this pot make just as good a cup of coffee as any others you have tasted

    Here's how I got the Kcup to work. When you put it in the holder, push down so the inner needle pierces the bottom. Then run it. Hope this works....❤

      @@gigitibbs2598 yes! It was just the pod i used in the video that was bad. I use this coffee maker every day! The only thing i regret is that i didn't get the compact version - it would have fit nicely under my cabinets. 😂

    What’s nice is you get a quick fresh cup of coffee with minimal fuss. However, the pods are expensive and I like to drink lots of extra strong coffee (so I prefer a coffee pot). Otherwise those are great! Nice unboxing and demo!

    • @cookingforsingles
      @cookingforsingles  Год назад +1

      Thanks so much! I agree, the pods are expensive and terrible for the environment. That's why I got this model that does both. I'll probably use the grounds mode more than capsule. For the last three years I've been doing instant coffee (Nescafe isn't half bad!). I just wanted something different and more convenient. Thanks for watching! ❤❤❤

    I believe you should fill the ground cup all the way

    I got this version as well the other day and....maybe because I didn't have coffee yet, I could NOT figure out how to get the water reservoir open and off just now unboxing it, lol. The book doesn't say! THANK YOU!!! You saved my day! Ok, well you saved me from wasting 3/4 of a normal pot of coffee but still! My husband and son get up 4 hrs before me and easily finish a normal pot of coffee so I bought this for myself to use before and after work (I'm on mids). Subbing!

    Have you had better luck with other pods?

    • @cookingforsingles
      @cookingforsingles  10 месяцев назад +1

      Indeed i have! Those were just old pods! This machine works fabulously and i use it daily! I even bought some reusable pods which though they fit a little snugly, work great too! My only regret is that i didn't get the compact version of the coffee maker, since it would have fit neatly under my cabinets. I very much recommend this coffee maker as a more reasonably priced alternative to a brand name Keurig!

      Thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️ It's the mic Omar recommended, just the android version. I can find the brand of it if you're interested - it was only about $25 (so I could afford it! 🤣) My only gripe about it is for whatever reason I thought it would be a lot smaller.
