Do you live alone? Are you the only coffee drinker in the house? Do large portions of your coffee go down the drain? Then this is perfect. I gave it a 4 because I really do not like the mug, but that is another thing, you can use any mug. Measure the water with the alternate mug, pour it in, put the coffee in the little wire basket and flip it on. You have coffee in about 5 minutes. Great of office, dorm rooms, bachelors/ettes and lonely guys like me!

this is a sweet coffee maker for a dorm room. it is small [this is a plus, as coffe makers arent allowed in my dorm!], and has a cup WITH A LID [great to take to class]. one full cup is ready in 2-3 mins!! it is sort of noisy, thats my only complaint. and the black color makes it harder to clean when dirty. else, is great! imagine all the money saved instead of buying coffee twice a day from starbucks!!

I've had this coffee maker for about 6 months now. This is exactly what I wanted. A way to make good coffee, the strength I like, but only 1 cup. You must use regular ground coffee, then you can make it as strong as you'd like. The cup is odd shaped with a handle that doesn't fit in my car cup holder, so I use it as a sort of cafe and pour it into another mug (which it fills) and rinse this one out for the next day's coffee. It has it's own filter so no more paper ones. It's just what I wanted and needed. Money WELL spent!

There are so many little engineering considerations put into this little coffee maker: The little handle to remove the filter basket (well done); the spout automatically returns to it's proper placement after filling water reservoir; and the sleek design. Forget the plastic travel mug except for maybe adding the water, and I use my own trusty mug in it's place for sipping coffee. The one flaw that is glaring is that there is no automatic shutoff when the coffee is brewed. That is definitely a safety hazard. It's no good saying, you'll always check to see it's turned off, because you won't. I would happily pay a few dollars more if an automatic shutoff were included. As for the Black and Decker counterpart - that's no good at all. In fact, many stores refuse to carry the thing because of all the returns. So, this is the best bet for the time being and we'll hope Toastess fixes the shut off problem. For those of you who hate old coffee and really just want a nice freshly brewed cuppa at a reasonable price, this is a good thing.

Works well for making one or two cups on the boat with a 700W inverter. Two scoops of Starbucks French Roast and you're good to go. Use a small filter modified to fit the basket to simplify cleaning

Pros:
- great design, tall enough for a big cup or a small mug.
- reusable filter, just rinse it out.
- water doesn't get scalding hot, just the right temperature.
- small enough to put a corner
- comes with a nice mug
- can also be used to get hot water (for ramen, or hot chocolate)

Cons:
- short cord
- no auto turn off
- all plastic (not a big deal, just don't manhandle it)

Other than that, nothing. Perfect size for a single coffee user. I am very happy with my purchase!

recieved my 1 cup coffee pot, love the size but the coffee is just not hot

Quality is not as good as I thought, because, when I got it, the cover is broken.
But it doesn't affect my coffee much. With this price, I would say it's worth.

Great buy for the money! It makes a fresh, hot cup of coffee (from adding grounds to drinking coffee) in less than 10 minutes. Also comes with a reusable filter and a great travel mug. (If only it would auto shut-off.) If you can live without auto shut-off, it's an excellent buy.

For the low price, it's hard to beat. It does a perfectly good job with coffee, tea, and herbal tea. It's pretty quiet as well, which is nice for the office. My complaints are fairly minor: my favorite mug won't fit, so I have to pour from one mug to another; no auto shut-off; the cord is too short; and, the basket and reservoir are not isolated. I'm somewhat tempted to upgrade to a Hamilton Beach 42115 but I'll hold off for now.
