Dual brewing for different needs
I find the Shardor KM805 useful because it handles both single-serving needs and larger groups with one machine. The machine brews single cups ranging from 6 to 16 ounces or fills a 32-ounce double-walled stainless steel thermos, which keeps coffee hot and prevents the burnt taste that occurs when coffee sits on a heating plate for too long. This machine works with both K-Cup coffee pods and ground coffee, allowing for weekday convenience or the pursuit of coffee bean flavor on weekends. The 95-ounce removable water tank allows for brewing multiple cups or a full pot without frequent refills. Because it includes a 24-hour programmable function, you can set the machine the night before to have hot coffee ready when you wake up. The 5.63-inch wide compact design fits well in small spaces like apartments or dorm rooms. Brand spokesperson Chen says Shardor focuses on users’ pain points as a market entry point. A Shardor spokesperson says, "Most kitchens don’t need two coffee makers. What people need is a machine that can brew a single-serve cup on a Tuesday and a full pot when friends and family come to visit." Shardor sells products in more than 30 countries and provides a two-year manufacturer’s warranty for its items, including espresso machines, grinders, milk frothers, and blenders.
Specific machine functions
The machine provides hot coffee and iced coffee, along with a "Strong Brew" mode for richer flavor. I find the ability to switch between K-Cup capsules and ground coffee practical for different daily needs. The removable drip tray accommodates travel mugs up to 7 inches tall, though this limits use for anyone with a taller travel mug.
