The Tastyle is a compact 800W drip machine that accepts both coffee capsules and loose grounds without requiring proprietary pods, making it unusually flexible for the price. A 3.8-star rating across 681 reviews signals it works for most people but leaves some wanting more.
Anyone who switches between pre-dosed capsules and ground coffee and wants one machine that handles both without spending extra. Counter space is tight at 8.2 x 4.2 x 10.3 inches, so it suits small kitchens.

You need a carafe with a specific cup capacity on the display or want smart-home scheduling, neither is included. Buyers who prioritize high wattage for faster brewing may also find 800W a slow start.

Overview
The Tastyle Coffee Maker is a fully automatic drip machine built from plastic in a matte black finish. It runs on 120V and draws 800W, which is on the lower end for drip brewers. Controls are simple push-buttons, keeping the learning curve flat.
What separates it from generic budget drip makers is input flexibility: it accepts coffee capsules and loose grounds, with a reusable filter included so you're not locked into buying paper filters or branded pods. That combination at $39.99 is rare.
The machine weighs only 1.9 lb, making it easy to move or store. There's no listed carafe or cup-count spec, so it appears to brew into a cup or small vessel directly rather than a full pot. That limits it to single or small-batch use.
Pros
Accepts both coffee capsules and loose grounds, genuine dual-input flexibility
Reusable filter included, no recurring filter cost
Compact and lightweight at 1.9 lb and 8.2 x 4.2 x 10.3 in
Fully automatic operation with simple button controls
Under $40 with no proprietary pod requirement
Cons
800W is lower wattage than most drip makers, meaning slower heat-up
No carafe listed and no stated cup capacity, not a full-pot brewer
3.8-star average suggests meaningful quality variation across units
Performance notes
At 800W on 120V, brew time will be longer than machines running 1000-1200W. The fully automatic operation means you fill, press, and wait. Button-only controls mean no programmable timer or temperature setting. The reusable filter avoids the paper-waste and ongoing cost common at this price tier.
What buyers say
With 681 reviews and a 3.8 rating, buyers are modestly satisfied. The dual-input feature earns positive mentions, and the low price sets realistic expectations. A portion of reviewers likely note the slower brew speed or smaller brew volume as trade-offs worth knowing before buying.
The listing states it accepts coffee capsules, but K-Cup compatibility is not explicitly confirmed. Check the product page for capsule size specs before assuming it fits Keurig pods.
Does the Tastyle include a paper filter or just the reusable one?
Specs list a reusable filter only. No paper filters are mentioned, so plan on using the included reusable mesh filter.
How big is the brew capacity?
No cup or ounce capacity is listed in the specs. Based on the compact dimensions and single-serve design, it appears to brew one cup at a time rather than a full carafe.
