Great brewer for the price
1/25/2013
Pros
Easy Cleanup
Easy to operate
Makes good coffee
Space saver
Cons
Best Uses
Comment:
Makes a quick cup of coffee. Before removing carafe, remove filter basket and dispose of grounds, that way there won't be any dripping from the wet grounds. For the price, you can't beat it. It's made out of plastic and not steel so handle it accordingly.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Reliable
Space Saving
Cons

Best Uses
Good Coffee Quickly
Comment:
We received this as a gift about 3 years ago (maybe longer). It has made numerous cups of coffee and still consistently hot and easy to use. We are going to buy another one for our camper. Fits great on our counter and takes up less room that a Keurig, is cheaper to use and makes just as good coffee using our own coffee. I have no complaints about this product.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Pros
Small and fast
Cons
Best Uses
Single serve
Comment:
Got one of these little guys for the RV where space is at a premium. No problem, and Melitta #1 filters make cleanup easy. Not as fast as a Keurig, but not nearly as expensive, and you can use whatever coffee you please.
How long have you owned it:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Strength
Easy to use
Weakness
Doesn't always drain
Sometimes only about 1/2 the water drains through thus only giving me a partial cup of coffee. Am I using the wrong grind of coffee?

Perfect for One !!
04/15/2009
Strength
Small, Compact, easy to use & clean up, fast, hot, & No filter needed !!
Weakness
Fill line hard to read or see. Wish it came w/ 2 mugs or the option to purchase another 1, just in case !
This is GREAT for 1 person. However, I did find that when I used VERY fine ground coffee, it overflowed & did not drain properly. What a mess that was to clean up. So I tried just regular grind & it worked perfect. I think the real fine stuff ( size of salt grains ) is just too compact & does not allow the water to get thru the grains enough during the brewing cycle, so it backs up & overflows. Mug keeps it hot for quite a while also. I got mine cheapest thru AMAZON, & delivery was 5 days later via UPS. SO VERY fast. A real bargain, & does as good as the larger coffe makers & quick.

Black Decker coffee maker
04/18/2007
Strength
Compact design-takes up little space
Weakness
Looks cheap
This coffee maker is perfect for me, because I am the only one who drinks coffee in this house. And I don't drink more than two cups a day. So this size of this coffee maker suits me. Besides, it is small, can sit on my desk, without taking much space. It is also easy to be taken out.
