| Great for commuters, office professionals, and one-coffee-drinker households, this personal coffeemaker brews 15 ounces of coffee directly into a stainless-steel travel mug. The mug has a rubber handle for a safe grip and a lid to keep coffee hot. It's tapered to a 2-1/2-inch-diameter bottom, so it fits most vehicle cup holders. The coffeemaker itself is designed for an on-the-go coffee drinker. It has a permanent filter--no messy disposable paper filters required--and shuts off automatically after brewing. The mug, filter, filter basket, and mug lid are dishwasher-safe, and the coffeemaker can also be used to heat water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant foods like oatmeal and soup. Made of gleaming black plastic, it measures 9-3/4 inches high, 7 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack |
| I am a teacher with a serious caffeine addiction. I can't constantly run out to the deli for coffee, so this coffee maker is the best solution! I can make a quick cup of coffee between classes. The coffee brews right into the cup and the machine shuts off, so I don't have to worry about a hot pot being around the kids. I love it! I've bought a few for my work friends. This little coffee maker is perfect for people who are the only coffee drinker in the house, live alone, or want the ability to quickly brew just 1 cup of coffee. I've used mine hundreds of times and it is still going strong. The re-usable filter shows no sign of wear and is still working great. The travel mug that comes with the unit is very cheap and not even worth using...but what do you expect for 12 bucks for the entire package? This is an incredible value even after you throw away the crappy travel mug. For best performance: grind your beans fine and brew directly into a coffee mug. Word of advice: don't cheap out on your coffee grinder. Get a quality grinder brand like Bosch and the grinder will last for many years and the motor will stay strong. If you get a cheap grinder you'll end up replacing it and spending more in the long run. If you want good coffee, you can cheap out on your coffee maker, but not on your grinder or beans. I've had this coffeemaker for almost a year now and LOVE it. I bought it to use for my drive to work, but I now use it on non-workdays because it's quick and easy and makes great coffee. I love making only one cup but without the hassle of pods. I'm the only coffee drinker in my house, and my big coffeemaker has been put away now and only comes out when we're having company. A GREAT product!! |
