Return shipping not covered Update: Bruvi did offer to get a discounted shipping label for me, which was about $42 instead of nearly $100, which was nice. I still think the return policy should be more obvious, especially since it's so expensive to ship. But they did help, so I changed my rating. I bought Bruvi as a gift, and the recipient cannot use it. Unfortunately, Bruvi doesn't offer return shipping, so I have to choose whether to return it and pay nearly $100 to ship it back, or I can give it away (or try to sell it for local pickup). I understand they say they can't afford to pay return shipping, but if they aren't going to do that, perhaps they should make buyers aware in an obvious way before taking their money for a $400 machine.

A great coffee machine A great coffee machine. Brews quickly and allows you to customize in many ways. Lots of favor choices. Very happy customer.

Impressive Machine- Lousy Coffee Impressive machine, lousy coffee! I tried most of the B-Pods available for the Bruvi machine and I was very disappointed. The Coffee tastes almost like plain water. The fact that Bruvi does not offer the option of 4 Oz cups (which Keurig does), contributes to the coffee-water ratio issue. I just ordered a reusable pod, and I'll test it with my own coffee. Another issue is the slow shipping method; it took 11 days for the machine to arrive. Bruvi charges double the price (or more) than similar machines, yet they choose the cheapest/slowest shipping method. (At least give the customer an option of paying for faster shipping).

Breaks down easily Its a nice coffee maker and it makes delicious coffee, but its broken down on me twice and their support hotline only works during the week and in PT time, so if it breaks down on you during the weekend or on the east coast, you are screwed as the troubleshooting guides are not online and no one is working.

Stand by the product I really liked my Bruvi and the options it provided, but we were having an issue with it and they did everything possible to make sure we were taken care of. It is freaking that a company stands behind their product like this!
