The Scoop Single Serve Coffee Maker with Removable 40 oz Reservoir, Grounds Only, No Pods or Paper Filters, Fast Brewing, 8–14 oz Cups, Stainless Steel (49987C)

We've now had this coffee maker for coming up on three years and it still works great. It's made hundreds of cups of coffee without fail and without the need for disposable coffee capsules or filters. The trick is to quickly rinse out both the inner and outer permanent baskets between use to get a good fresh tasting brew. For my liking I prefer to make the 8 oz size which requires about 2/3 of the basket filled with coffee. For making the 12 oz size I go to the top of the screen of the inner basket. It's proven reliable, continues to make a good cup of coffee, makes a cup reasonably quickly, and has two size selections that fit common mug sizes. Additionally we've eliminated paying for and generating a lot of unnecessary waste. From extensive use my opinion is it lives up to it's promises.

Works great! I’ve only had it several days but it’s perfect for my household. I like the holding tank for the water so I don’t have to fill it when I’m half asleep in the morning. I like its quick brewing time and flavorful robust coffee. I’ve been using screen filters for years and think they are great, yes there is a little sediment in the bottom of the cup but I don’t drink it the small grinds fall to the bottom. Cleanup is a breeze just tap the scoop in trash and a quick rinse under faucet and ready for next time. Very easy and not sure why so many complaints about this. Mine does not drip after the cycle if I wait a little but I put a cup in place under the dispenser to catch any lingering drips this is a common complaint but I see no worries with this. The design and looks is much better in person than the image on the ad. Seems well built and is so much better than the keurig style machine. I can make a strong cuppa or a light cuppa tall or small too. I have no complaints I just hope it is built to last, it’s the best coffee machine I’ve ever owned!

I got the 40oz reservoir version of the SCOOP and find it totally great. Much better than k-cup if you grind your own beans. I got this about 2 months ago and I drink 2-3 cups a day so, it has been well worn in. I buy whole beans and have a small burr grinder. I used a classic Keurig and used the refillable cartridges for several years. The Scoop is much easier to fill and clean between cups. The main scoop fits into a secondary screen filter and both are easily removed for cleaning. The reviews that people are unaware of the secondary filter are just ridiculous, it usually slides out when you lift the scoop for cleaning. The scoop has a sturdy handle that you can use to bang on the side of your kitchen trash can to remove the grounds and a simple rinse under the faucet and you are good to go with another cup. I rinse the secondary filter daily under the faucet and slide it right back into the feeder hole, very simple. I use a heaping tablespoon of coffee for an 8oz cup. I admit I have not used the 14oz, because I drink my coffee from a mug and don't like to reheat. The Scoop coffee is a somewhat hotter than the Keurig and I like this. I used the "strong" setting a few times and it takes longer to brew 8oz cup and I really didn't notice a taste difference. The strong setting basically slows the water drip through the grounds leaving more time for water to pick up flavor. There has never been a leak or overflow. I can imagine an overflow if you pack the scoop to the top with grounds, but the instructions clearly warn against doing so. I get good strong coffee every day with no strange tastes. There are many reviews that specify a plastic taste. I think I have very sensitive taste buds and I have never tasted anything but coffee from the Scoop. One negative... If you don't use the second tier flip down platform for a coffee mug, you will get coffee splatter, and quite a bit. I regularly use the flip down platform and it fits most of my larger mugs, but I have to angle them in to fit under the drip nozzle. This results in no splash. I don't use tall travel mugs, but if you do, I don't see a splash problem if the top is within 3 inches of the drip nozzle. One more negative... The base doesn't have any volume to catch drip and if you forget to put your cup under the nozzle when you start a brew, you will have all of it drain on your counter and floor. The Classic Keurig base will hold 8oz if you forget your cup. Another miner annoyance is that the Scoop has some residual drip after you remove your cup. I put a folded paper towel on the base to absorb the few drips rather than have to wipe the base. Overall, great coffee, easy to use, clean and fill the 40oz reservoir and it takes up less space on my counter. This is a great coffee maker, especially if you grind your own beans.

I like the fold down shelf that raises up my coffee cup and prevents splashing. The Scoop filter is easy to clean and no paper waste. Coffee is hot. The Bold feature gives great extraction. I would have liked a 10 oz button (there is and 8oz and 14oz). So I just fill the water reservoir with 10oz of water, use the 14oz setting and press the brew button. Fills my cup perfectly.

I like this coffee maker , but would of love if had more coffee levels instead of 8oz 14oz , coffee hotter then my keurig. I'm please over all
