We have had a similar machine for about 4 yrs. It does make very consistent coffee. So I've heard lol I don't drink coffee. The only drawback to these things is the amount of waste they produce. Evey cup of coffee leaves behind a k-cup of garbage. Seems excessive but until they come up with the next best thing. It's all we have.
They make pods without the plastic cup. Much less waste.

Used one for years. Quick and consistent. Great for a quick coffee in the am out the door to work.
When ours quit Went to a French press. No waste. Better coffee. Just requires 10 min instead for 2
Got one as a gift, used the pods that came with it and it's been sitting on a shelf in the basement since then. Would have returned it unopened but my non coffee drinking wife wanted to keep it. I'm perfectly happy setting the timer on my drip machine, coffee is ready when I get up. Add in the amount of waste they produce and how much more it is per cup and it's a no go for me.
I have reusable k cups for my Keurig. Just add the coffee. Dump the used grounds in the green bin, quick rinse and ready to go for the next cup. Fast and easy. Wouldn't use the machine if I didn't have the reusable cups.
Finally made a video of the exhaust. Waited for a cold day.

I'm a former French Press user. IMO the downside of FP is the coffee grounds remain resident in the vessel which adds bitterness. I switched to Aeropress a couple years back. It's a modified FP that pushes the coffee/hot water through a filter and plunger that you put on top of your mug. Grounds are not resident in the vessel after plunging. Makes for much smoother coffee versus the FP. Makes one cup at a time, which is perfect for me (bachelor). I set my countertop burr grinder to Turkish grind (super fine) and get a higher yield out of my coffee (as in more cups per pound of coffee). FP requires a coarser grind to capture the particle in the mesh. The Aeropress filter is much finer and can tolerate a finer particle.
