Last week HSN was showing my machine, the Flex Brew by Hamilton Beach that I bought a year or so ago from Amazon. There it cost $49. It does one cup at a time, and can handle Senseo pods, K-cups, or regular coffee.

The cost of the Keurig machines vary.  The one I have was on sale and
cost about seventy dollars.  The reservoir holds enough water for
about seven or eight cups, which is convenient if you have several
friends over, and each wants a different type of coffee.  This machine
is perfect for someone who has arthritis or other hand and arm
conditions that make it difficult to lift a heavy pot of coffee.  It's
also great for those who only want one cup of coffee a day.

Yes, it's expensive, but if you shop Amazon and other such places, you
can find sales on K-cups.

For the first couple years of the Keurig's production, I stated flatly
that I would not buy one.  Then I saw one in operation, and how
convenient it was, and I bought one!  I'm not a heavy coffee drinker,
so this is perfect for me.  The variety of K-cups is expanding all the
time, and I love to try flavors I wouldn't otherwise buy.  If I buy a
flavor I discover I don't like, I have plenty of Keurig owners who are
happy to take the coffee off my hands.

It's obvious that these machines have a lot of ardent followers, because
they come up frequently here. The Keurig seems to be the one most often
touted, and I have to admit that I didn't know there were any other options
out there because the other ones (like yours) hasn't been mentioned. (Not
that I read all the messages, as I'm not a coffee drinker)
I would suspect that Consumer Reports might have a comparison article on
these machines, and if they don't it'd make a great suggestion for them.
And
since Consumer Reports is one of the magazines the nls does in audio for
each issue it's available for folks to access, too. There's the option of
searching EBSCOHost too if your local library offers it as an online
database, (many do as it's a popular resource) so that's another search
vector for this information.
Though I sympathize with your desire to get substantive information on this
and other topics, there's going to be a lot of opinion expressed, both on
and off topic, as folks tend to be highly enamored with their own opinions
these days. Best to ignore the worst offenders or filter them out of your
reading preferences, as it's inevitable that some folks aren't going to get
along with everyone. I know it's frustrating, but that's life on the
internet.

OK so you wouldn't buy one because of the cost. I get that but anyone
on this list can seek out the cost of these machines and the costs of
each cup of coffee using purchased discs especially made for one of
these coffee machines. I know I did before purchasing my Tassimo.
Again saying you would not buy one isn't to me giving feed back on the
machine as you obviously do not have or want one. I guess When I say
feed back I mean for example, which ones are the best for flavour or
value, how do they work, do they make a good cup of coffee, where are
the best deals or would you ever buy one again.

Opinions on the machines should be allowed, don't you think?  There
should be no problems with someone stating that, in their opinion, they
are overpriced.  I, for one, am not saying that you should not buy one.
It's your money.  Do with it as you choose.  I would not pay that price
for a coffee maker that makes 1 cup at a time when, if I so chose,
could get a 30 cup coffee brewer for less.  More bang for the buck.
This might have a bearing on what someone buys, and should be on topic.
