My only reservation is that the coffee isn't extremely hot - not enough of an issue for me to stop using it, but especially noticeable if milk or cream are added.I sometimes need to reheat the mug before I've finished my coffee. I really enjoy this little machine - it brews fresh coffee right into my mug (no pot to wash), fits neatly and unobtrusively on my counter and holds enough water to make 2 cups if needed.
I returned the product and am now waiting for credit from Amazon. I was not able to brew my first cup of coffee as the on/off switch did not work.
* The cups are a bit larger than a 16 oz standard travel mug that you'd get at a store. Yuk. So, be careful how much water you put in. Pros:* It's convenient -- no dirtying up a pot when you only need a cup.* Cups are large Cons:* it occasionally overflows -- the coffee filter sometimes (maybe once a week) blocks the hole that the brewed coffee is supposed to escape through. The water then fills up the filter, overflows around the filter and then drains down into your cup from the outside, with a bunch of coffee grounds.
Does not distribute well between two cups. The coffee either comes out hot (when it works). or messy (when it bombs). We never had good luck with Cuisinart coffee makers. Everything on it feels so flimsy and cheap. Their other kitchen appliances seem to work well just not their coffee makers.This particular one is a complete piece of junk. We have had both this type as well as the standard 10-cup coffee maker from Cuisinart, and I can honestly say they should stay away from producing coffee makers. The filter is a pain to put in.
It is very easy to clean and prepare. It fits in my car cup holders. It also allows me to make the coffee to my liking. I really like this product. I find you can use other cups, they just have to be the correct size. I love a cup each morning if not two. My husband doesn't drink coffee and I do. This allows me to take it with me if we go somewhere or to work.
