Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Perfect for preparing coffee at home before dashing out the door, this coffeemaker brews through the lids directly into either one or both of the 14-ounce travel mugs accompanying the machine. The stainless-steel mugs have rubber, nonslip grips, fit most vehicle cup holders, and are 6-3/4 inches high, with 2-5/8-inch-diameter rubber bottoms. Lids keep coffee hot in the mugs and are deeply indented and sloped toward the drink hole to contain spills. Both mugs and their lids are dishwasher-safe. The coffeemaker uses disposable paper filters (two included), automatically shuts off after the brewing process, and can also be used to heat water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant foods like oatmeal and soup. Made of gleaming black plastic, the coffeemaker measures 13 inches high, 5-1/4 inches wide, and 8-1/2 inches deep, and carries a three-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Editor's note: This is a reconditioned small appliance. Reconditioned generally means that the appliance has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the appliance back to like-new condition. Some appliances may contain cosmetic blemishes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mmm...coffee grounds and hot water!, October 24, 2003

By	Ronni Radner (New York, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Dear, don't buy this hunk o' junk. I got one over the summer, thinking it'd be really convenient, but it doesn't work as it's supposed to, hence the reason a Cuisinart product has gone way down in price to $15.99. The whole brewing mechanism gets very clogged, and even repeated washings with vinegar don't clean it properly. You end up with unevenly distributed cups of coffee (one cup with 10 oz., the other with about 4-6 maybe)with grounds floating in them. Yecch! Try another brand instead or get a more traditional coffeemaker.

1.0 out of 5 stars GARBAGE!, January 11, 2007

By	Mr. Matthew J. Ghali (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked this coffeemaker up on the "Remanufactured" deal on Amazon. What I did not know was that "Remanufacturered" meant "obvious warranty returns jammed into a new box and resold".

The mugs were FILTHY. With DRIED COFFEE ON THEM. At least I HOPE it was coffee.

The mugs were both dented as if a car had run over them, yet the shipping box and product box had NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. Obviously they had been damaged before the "remanufacturing" process.

I'm dissapointed in Amazon for selling this trash.

1.0 out of 5 stars So far, not so good, October 16, 2003

By	Justin Kiggins "neuromusic" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this because I read the good reviews, and figured, for the price it was a great deal, even if it's reconditioned. Five minutes ago I went to use it for the first time and all of the water I filled it with started pouring out the bottom. Unfortunately, I have already disposed of the packaging materials, so I can't return it to Amazon. Cuisinart requres me to pay the shipping to send it to them, plus include money for the shipping back, so it will be cheaper for me to try to order another rather than fulfill the product's 90-day warranty(which is not the three year warranty which Amazon is advertising--that seems to have been whited out in my instruction booklet). And also, it does NOT include two paper filters. Hopefully, I can get this worke out, but so far, I'm not impressed
