FITS TALLER MUGS & IMMEDIATE AUTO SHUT OFF AFTER BREWING,
By Teresa Johnson "Homeschooling Mom of Four" (Durham, NC - Go Duke!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: West Bend 56204 Single-Cup Personal Coffee Maker and Water Dispenser, Red (Kitchen)
This was exactly what I was looking for. Don't hesitate buying it. It will fit a variety of sizes of mugs as long as they are not huge. Mugs can be rather tall and still be fine. It does shut off very quickly after brewing...made me feel safe about using it - I'm moving quickly in the morning and won't remember to turn it off. The red color is really cute, just as pictured. I reaaaaaaally like it alot. You can use the permanent filter OR take that out and use paper size 1 or 4 cup filters, like I do. I think it makes a stronger brew with paper because it holds the water on the coffee grounds longer...same with any coffee maker. Takes up no space at all, too.

I Recommend This Coffee Maker,
By Atheist (Pacific Time Zone) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: West Bend 56204 Single-Cup Personal Coffee Maker and Water Dispenser, Red (Kitchen)
When I first got it, after a bit, the button that turns it on did not work well and it took many attempts to turn it on. So, I took the bottom off and jiggled a bunch of stuff in there, screwed it back together, and it has worked perfect ever since. I bought it about three months ago. It doesn't brew the best coffee unless you use a coffee filter in it and grind your coffee to fine. But, if you do that, it is a great machine.
I found the original filter set up to be bulky and I didn't like the roundness, so I used the set up I that had come with a previous one cup coffee make I had, Black & Decker DCM7 Cup-At-A-Time (which I do not recommend for a few reasons). That way, I have a cone-shaped filter set up and can use cone filters. What I like about this coffemaker is that it is red so you can see in it well to clean it (although I saw nothing to clean in the 3 months I had it) and also the outside is easy to clean because any food or dirt is easy to see. But, I recommend reading the reviews for the black model, because they are considerably more favorable for this machine and will give you a better overall review. I love the fact it allows tall coffee mugs to go under it. That is a must for me because I have one mug that is taller. It has an overfill feature that drips water out of the back if you put too much in. However, I like to make taller cups of coffee which this maker can do just fine, so I took some JB Weld and filled that hole in. So now, I can use any size mug I want. This coffee maker stays clean and has no mess. I have owned a black and decker brew and go and it was very messy, had issues of overflowing and getting grounds all over. The unit heats up very fast and brews coffee very fast. I do not recommend pods as many people say they don't work well in this. You can use the original filter set up it came with and just buy round filters. I prefer cone shaped filters so I use my old Black and Decker filter. As with all elements in coffee makers, they fail eventually, but I just buy another. I have owned two over the years and hopefully they will always make them because they are so convenient! In my opinion, this red west bend single coffee maker is one of the best, if not the best on the market!

Better than I'd hoped, but...,

This review is from: West Bend 56204 Single-Cup Personal Coffee Maker and Water Dispenser, Red (Kitchen)
I have been using this for several days now. Overall, I am quite pleased.
However, If you are trying to brew a full 12 oz. of coffee, the included permanent filter causes the water to overflow back into the reservoir because the coffee grounds clog it too easily, and I use a Starbuck's Burr Grinder set on coarse. I'll have to try using it to brew loose tea sometime and see how it does. Try this instead: 1. Purchase a supply of basket-style paper filters, 1-4 cup size(the purchase price amounts to 6/10ths of a cent per filter at Wal-mart). 2. Using two 8-oz. paper cups, re-size one of the paper filters by holding the filter over the bottom of one of the cups while inserting it into the mouth of the other cup. I know it sounds odd, but it works better than you would think. 3. insert the re-sized filter into the pod/filter holder WITHOUT the permanent filter, add enough ground coffee for 12 oz. of water, and proceed to brew per the instructions. This works amazingly well. The paper filters in question are much easier to find than the specialized ones, and cheaper, too. And paper filters have a distinct advantage; they trap bitter oils that re-usable filters do not.
