Is it really THAT good?

Compared to what?
 
Compared to a proper pot of french press made from freshly roasted premium beans ground at the time of brewing? Hell no!!!
 
Compared to a pot of hot black water made from preground already stale mass produced beans bought at a grocery store? Hell yes!!!

It's an expensive cup of coffee those make.
 
Most of "the pods" are between 80 cents and $1 in grocery stores, and they
are good for 1 cup of coffee. Mail order and like Costco can cut that in
half, but the main point of the machine is speed.
 
If it's plugged in and already pre-heated, it's only like a minute or less
to make a cup of coffee. Toss the pod out, nothing to clean.
 
The coffee it makes is "ok" but nothing remarkable.

I make a pot of Mr. Coffee with French Roast beans from Costco (or
whatever they have on sale) and turn it off as soon as it's done. 1
minute per cup in the microwave and I'm good for at least one day. Easy
beats gourmet every single time :-)
