Not too much to pay for a decent cup of coffee...
Before I go too far with the review, just a quick FYI...giving it 5 stars simply because I haven't discovered any major issues yet. With that said, my initial impressions are that this is a rather nice product and one-ups the newer Keurigs by virtue of it's ability to use all major beverage provider's pods without issue. Also comes with an iCup reusable minibasket/filter that allows the user to brew their own freshly ground beans or favorite store variety ground coffee. I would suggest purchasing one or two additional iCup reusables however, as emptying, rinsing and refilling is rather annoying should you desire a quick second or third cup. To my knowledge, these can also be had from Amazon.This machine has a Dial-A- Brew feature that allows the user to dial up from 4 to 12 ounce brews in half-ounce increments. Nice feature if your formal dinnerware comes with tiny cups and saucers, but your regular morning cup of joe is a hearty mug full. Which segues nicely into the idea that the brewer also features a removable cup stand to accommodate your larger mugs or glasses as well as a reasonably sized travel mug. The base is held in place magnetically, and as of yet I have not had it pop out of place inappropriately.As for the SpinBrew Technology, the brewing needle actually spins in the pod as it steams and stirs the brew, for what Remington refers to as a mini french press effect. I can't honestly say whether this makes for a better cup of coffee or not, as my taste is not that refined. Sometimes I think it's all in your head at any rate. Or your simply a coffee snob. However, I will give the machine its props in one area re the flavor...I do notice a distinct reduction in bitterness from my usual drip style coffee. And for me, that's enough. Brewing temperature is closer to established optimal than most lower/moderately priced machines I think, so it might be said that this makes for a better tasting cup of coffee as well.The Mozart model brewer has relatively few controls. An LCD digital readout showing ounces and water temp status. A knob to dial in your preferred beverage size. And two small buttons for power and Energy Saver function. In normal mode, the unit will remain on and hot for two hours of non-use, after which it will remain on for an additional 26 hours, however the hot water holding tank temp will be reduced. While in this mode, water temp comes back up rather quickly, so you are still able to brew a quick cup. It will shut itself off completely after a total of 28 hours. Should you choose to use the Energy Saver function, simply press the appropriate button and the unit will shut itself down completely after 2 hours of non-use. This function will remain in effect until you deselect it.The only other feature of note is the lighting...yes, I said lighting. When the unit is on, the water reservoir is lit with bright blue LEDs. When it's actually brewing, the cup cave is also lit with blue LEDs. This light goes out when brewing is completed. The LCD readout is also blue, and is not illuminated when unit is off. So if you're into lighting, this is the machine for you! Personally, meh...I can take it or leave it. It does, however, draw interesting comments from friends and family.All in all, a nice unit, and I would have to say a good purchase should you be in the market for a single serve brewer. I've had mine for a month or so, now, and not a single problem. So while nothing is ever perfect, I think you could do worse. I recommend the iCoffee Mozart highly. Remington has done well.4/11/16 Update:In my review for this item, I noted that additional iCup reusable brew cups were most likely offered by Amazon. After a bit of research I find I am mistaken. As of this date, they do NOT offer the iCup reusable. I was, however, able to find them at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $9.99 + tax....Update 10/23/16: update from April indicated that as of that date the iCup reusable brew cups were not available on Amazon. Discovered this morning that now they are, for $14.46 with free shipping. Still available at Bed, Bath and Beyond for $9.99 plus tax however.

Better than a Keurig.. and Cheaper, Too!
I've been a loyal Keurig customer for over 10 years. Faithfully buying their nicest home models every 1.5 - 3 years (the average life span of a Keurig). When our last model died, we did not want to switch to the 2.0 system so we were forced to look for other machines. A friend suggested this one and I have to say, we are both really happy with it.The Pros greatly outnumber the Cons so I am going to start with the Cons first. Our coffee consumption, just for reference, is about 3 cups for myself, and between 5-10 for the love nugget.CON - After a month, the only complaint we have for this machine is the energy saver mode - in that you can't shut it off if you want the water to be warmed past two hours after your last cup. So in the morning, when the love nugget is walking around in his zombie-like trance, grumbling and moaning, he has to wait a minute or two for the water to warm (to which, he grumbles and moans - as he is not capable of actual words until his first cup (ok.. third) of coffee.. By the fifth, he is stringing words together in sentences. Coffee is a very important part of the day.PRO(S) -1. The coffee spinner - when I saw this, I thought it was just a cute but gimicky appearance feature, but it really does make a difference in the taste of the coffee. A lot of the darker roast coffees have that nasty bitter taste, and this technology eliminates it so you still enjoy the deep roast flavor without any of the tang. Kudos, iCoffee! Good one!2. The ounce dial - with a Keurig, I thought we had it pretty good with 5 different options, but no - the ounce dial is better. If you find a roast that you like that would taste better with just half an ounce less of water, poof. Done. And the display is large enough so the person behind you (mumbling and groaning) can see it and change it if they need to. The display was so small and oddly-lit on the Keurig (pretty, but oddly-lit), that most of the time we just took the cup size we didn't want because by the time we noticed, the coffee had brewed.3, The price - half the cost of the nicest home models in the Keurig line and has all of the same features that we coveted.4. The cup glow - ok - this really doesn't affect the taste of the coffee, but I found our lives were slightly less complete without this feature. There is a glowy blue light from above that gently cascades down into your mug while the coffee is brewing, filling you with a sense of major accomplishment, as well as anticipation of things to come. It finally makes sense when people say that "They saw the light". I, too, have seen the light. And the light is good.5. The appearance - it was well-thought out. There's a clear bubble at the top where you can watch the spinner spin, and it matches the design on the cup holder, which easily pops out so you can use a travel mug, then pops right back into place with a magnetic CLICK. The blue light fills the water reservoir as well as your cup. It is the perfect combination of function and pretty.Overall, although change is scary and bad, we are very pleased with this machine and would happily recommend it to anybody who does not want to move away from the single-serve lifestyle of the Keurig machines.**Editing in a comment - 4/21/16**If you bothered to read all this way, anyway - here is another comment in the 'pro' category. After 6 months, our Mozart refused to suck water. Straight-out refused. The love nugget grumbled something incomprehensible and pointed. Supergirl to the rescue, I have my pink paper clip in hand, ready to remove the coffee ground blocking the flow of water from the upper needle... However, the day was not saved... til I called. I'm thinking - I never filled out the registration.. But if they let me order a part, maybe we can still save our Mozart. Talked to their customer service... and not 6 hours later, a new replacement Mozart is on its way. I asked, "How much for the replacement?" since I was hoping to only have to buy a part - they said nothing.. Not nothing as in silence. They said, :"Nothing." Really? You're replacing our already awesome coffee maker for nothing? *Happy Dance*. Kudos, Remington. Never has Keurig offered to replace our machine when one has failed (and often they have failed!) Truly happy campers, here.

Don't waste your money
Do not buy!!! Coffee pot does not work for long and customer service is terrible. Unfortunately we are on our 3rd icoffee mozart, in less than 6 months! And it isn't working right! I have to say I read reviews a lot before buying and rarely write a negative one. But I feel buyers beware!I wanted to love this coffee maker and did for the few weeks that it actually worked. There aren't many coffee makers that you can use all k cups with. Our first coffee mozart we bought on Amazon.com shortly after ours just stopped working, no coffee, water, sound, nothing! I called icoffee and they started off with great customer service and over night sent a newly refurbished one. This was great, right? So I thought, for a month or so it worked then the exact same thing happened again, no coffee, water, sound, absolutely nothing! So another call to icoffee, not quite as friendly customer service and they had no solutions to the problem, but sent another refurbished coffee ...all wet in the box again. This literally only worked for a few days. Now you either get no coffee or the spin brew technology fails and you get a terrible weak cup of coffee and waste a kcup. So. ....yet another call (or should i say half dozen calls)...I have yet to have someone return a message or talk to me beyond "let me transfer you, or hold on" for 15+ minutes before hanging up on me. Shame on you Carlos and Kathy at I coffee...I have not said one rude thing, talked loud or even acted mad. But now an furious at your customer service! Do not buy, do not buy!!!
