4.0 out of 5 stars Very good single-cup solution., May 6, 2007

This is an excellent solution if you like a small-ish (8-10 oz or less) and convenient cup of coffee in the morning. My experience is that no automatic drip maker is really designed to make a good single cup, and while I use a french press on the weekends, cleaning the screen assembly is too much hassle for a weekday morning, as is having to mind the infusion time. So the swissgold one-cup is an excellent compromise. There's no brew time to pay attention to, it's very easy to rinse everything clean under the tap, and you don't have to buy or throw away paper filters!

My only complaint (hence the 4 stars rather than 5) is that the infusion time seems very short -- the cup is usually done brewing in about a minute or less -- and the coffee does lack body as a result. I wonder if the filter might have been designed to slow down brewing a bit more. In any case, I just use a fairly fine grind, like one of the other reviewers here said, and end up with very decent coffee with a minimum of hassle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Single Cup Coffee Maker, June 28, 2009

This is a good single cup coffee maker. The Melitta 64007B Single Cup Coffee Filter Cone ( BLACK ) paired withMedelco #2 Cone Permanent Coffee Filter is easier to use. One must keep lifting this brewer to see how much coffee is in the cup. Do not have to keep lifting the Melitta to see in the cup. Does produce a good brew and does not require the purchase of a separate reusable filter as the Melitta does. Both are great items for RVing. I think it is just a matter of preference of the user.

UPDATE

After using this single cup coffeemaker and the Melitta for an extended period. I prefer this setup as it is much easier to clean than the Melitta with the permanent filter.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only choice, October 3, 2009

I'm a bit of a skinflint so wasn't all too keen about forking out the money for this but it is worth every cent. I thought there's no point continuing to buy quality coffee if paper filters in my existing devices are going to absorb all the oils and fats that give the coffee its flavour. This little device on the other hand gives you the convenience of a drip with the taste of a French Press, you'll be amazed at the difference if you're used to brew methods using paper filters. Can't go wrong with this, I certainly won't be using anything else from now on.
