Title: Fantastic Coffee Maker, Black & Decker Does it Again.
Review: Fantastic product. I have gotten a cup of coffee at starbucks that cost more than this brewer so I wasn't expecting it to be this great. I went from a mr coffee to Melita brewing system (heat the water and pour it into the filter) to this. I like coffee fresh, not after it has sat for a while, so I like to make it cup by cup. Now, as for the details: the big filter basket fits the groove on the left; the inner filter fits the groove on the right. When these are positioned correctly, the top snaps down perfectly. I use a paper filter left over from my Melita days (Generic kroger box is about $2 for 100). I recommend using this little paper cone finger because you can dump it out and rinse the basket clean in seconds. Otherwise, cleaning up grounds can be a P.I.T.A. I had to adapt my coffee making habits a little bit. With the old mr coffee, I used to turn it on as I was filling the water, and putting in the grounds, but this one is so fast, I pour in the water, put in the filter and coffee, snap down the lid and turn it on. The first time I plugged it in, it was already on. I ran water through it once, because I didn't want that burned plastic factory smell. I use the black plastic mug to pour the water in. The perfect amount. It takes about 3 minutes from start to finish, just enough time to do the dishes, feed the dog, start breakfast. I use a jigger to measure my standard Folgers ground coffee (about the size of a Keurig cup). Once or twice when I was low on coffee and used less than that to make it last longer, used a second mug to pour the hot water through the grounds a 2nd time, but hey, I'm cheap And weird.) It takes a few seconds, then the water drips through pretty fast. I like using the paper filter also because it probably helps the water stay in contact with the brew a bit longer. The last few seconds of brewing, the last bit of water in the reservoir hisses and steams as the element dries. Then the light snaps off. You can hear the click. Give it a few seconds for the basket to drain to get all that coffee goodness.There's no warmer at the bottom of the cup. It's a plastic cup, why would you heat it? Fewer parts to break.I would not put this mug in the microwave. (A microwave is very hard on containers with nested parts, and it has a metal band around the top.)I highly recommend this Black & Decker CM618 Single Serve Coffee maker to people who like coffee one fresh cup at a time. I don't know how well it would handle multiple consecutive cups.I do use a paper melita-type filter and after the coffee is in, I tamp down the top of the cone to make a little package. I use the single serving size,and the kroger brand. It's cheaper and better because it has a little tab that makes handling easier. Prices at the grocery range from $2 to $4 for 40-100 filters, more for name brand filters. If you're a purist-recycler, the grounds are good for garden compost.At the end of the hot water heating cycle, there's about 3 seconds worth of that hot plastic smell but it does not affect the coffee at all, the way a mr coffee does.I have only had this a few months, but it is very reliable and is working perfectly. If I were still teaching, this would be the coffee maker I'd have in my classroom; if I still had a camper, this would take up little space and be faster than heating water for Melita on the propane stove. I'd use one in my office, but I'm a writer, and my home office is 3 steps from the kitchen.

Title: Good for small spaces and a quickly brewed cup of coffee.
Review: Starting with my cup of coffee finished brewing before I could finish typing this short review.Itâs a cute little black coffee maker and is perfect for a single use cup. From filling with water, adding coffee to cleaning.. it is simple, easy to use and even easier to clean.Coffee brews evenly, does not have that burnt bitter taste nor does it taste like your drinking a watered down cup of coffee.I have washed it multiple times, moved it around from house to camper and it doesnât have a dent or scratch on it.

Title: Works well and from a leading manufacturer
Review: Makes a fine cup of coffee and holds a 16 ounce cup. Some negatives that should not deter you from buying is (1) supplied up gets way too hot to hold, (2) opening to pour water in is way too narrow for me & I end up splashing some water on the counter and water could drip into on/off switch if not careful, (3) grind holder gets extremely too hot to hold when dumping used coffee grinds. Has on light and on/off switch.

Title: I love this little pot
Review: I love this little pot. I refuse to spend $$$$ on an another pod coffee pot that only lasts 6 months. Fresh brewed ground coffee tastes so much better anyway. This way you get one cup versus having to brew a full pot. Small and light enough to travel with also. Recently took it with me on a long flight and stay. Packed up nicely in my checked baggage and It was nice to have my coffee the way I like it. You get as much water back as you put in. I found 1.5 tbsp ground coffee perfect. Takes a few minutes to brew but I just set it and go do something else for a few minutes. So far so good. Cheap enough to replace if it goes out in 6 months.

Title: Water temp great, but shuts off
Review: I've put off writing this review, because it makes great coffee & tea. I also use it for instant hot chocolate and noodles in a cup. It is VERY easy to use and maintain, and the water temp coming out is perfect. My 20 oz Yeti travel cup fits under it perfectly (which is good, because the go cup that comes with it is useless). Its profile is nice & narrow so takes up very little counter space. And I specifically wanted a machine that used real ground coffee, not pods. You don't need to use a paper filter, but I do (#4 size, I believe) to make cleanup easier.When I was researching, I read the reviews that said the machine would turn off before all the liquid comes out, so you don't get the full amount. But I typically have good luck with appliances, and everything else was right -- including the price -- so I went ahead. The machine worked well for about two days, then began shutting off prematurely. I tried cleaning it with a vinegar rinse, which helped once, then back to shutting off. And it's gotten worse over time.I'm not able to get out and return items, so I've been working with it. I started using it in March 2024 and it is now October 2024. The way I make it work for me is to stand there and hold down the button until all the water goes through (this DOES work). Since it takes at least three minutes for 16 ounces, that's a lot of time standing in one place when I could be doing other meal related things if the machine worked. I've been patient (I'm retired, so not racing out the door to work), but I'm back to researching machines to find a new one in the sales. And this time, if the reviews say a machine turns off, I'm believing it.

Review: Fácil de usar y de limpiar; el café se prepara muy rápido. El que el porta canastilla se pueda retirar para lavarlo resulta muy cómodo. El cable lo suficientemente largo para conectarlo, sin que estorbe. El vaso que trae no me parece realmente un termo, y la tapa tiene la desventaja de que la salida no se puede cerrar, entonces hay el riesgo de derrame al usarlo. Yo no pienso usarlo, entonces no me afecta. Pongo directamente una taza; como está diseñada para el vaso que trae, que es de base angosta, si la taza es de base más ancha no ajusta totalmente, pero a fin de cuentas se puede usar.

Review: It comes with a durable cup without either the clumsy handle attached or lid that isn't sip friendly for your lips (example: any fast food coffee cup lids) The cup is basic and perfect. You'll buy one of these once a year because that's how long they last until the shut off timer begins to retire. The cups are perfect so if you're a devoted buyer like me, you'll collect a few new ones. Comes with a durable reusable filter and is simply packaged to be environmentally friendly. Black and Decker did well with this product.

Review: La cafetera venia con lo que se ve en las imagenes, todo super bien empacado, muy bien cuidado, cada pieza envuelta en plastico y carton. La cafetera es pequena, sirve para preparar exactamente la medida del vaso que viene incluido. El cafe, al menos a mi que no soy un experto catador de cafe, me parecio que no se quemo.Pros:- Practicidad, la cafetera es muy pequena (29x29x15cm), cabe en cualquier lado, ademas el vaso que incluye tiene una tapa y queda perfecto en el portavasos del auto- El cafe se prepara super rapido, en menos de 5 min el vaso ya esta listo- Tiene un filtro permanente lavable y de buena calidad, se ve durable- Al ser tan pequena es facil de limpiar- Tiene apagado automatico, al terminar su ciclo deja de funcionar.- La puedes usar para preparar Te, ya sea meter las bolsitas directo en el filtro o, lo que yo hice, abrir las bolsitas, sacar las hojas de te y vaciarlas en el filtro, el resultado es excelenteContras:- La longitud del cable de corriente, es de apenas 60 cm, corto a mi parecer- El vaso es de puro plastico, no me da mucha confianza ya que las primeras veces, con el agua tan caliente, emite un olor extrano, me imagino que con el uso ira desapareciendo, igualmente yo solo lo uso para prepararlo, despues lo paso a mi otro vaso metalico. El vaso que incluye mide 17cm de alto y 8.5 cm de diametro, cualquier vaso con esas medidas queda perfecto para preparar directamente.- El boton de encendido solo tiene 1 estado, una vez que llenas el tanque de agua, pones el cafe, presionas el boton (Que no parece boton) y no se detendra hasta que termine su ciclo, es decir, no la puedes detener a media preparacion a menos que la desconectes, este boton me parece algo extrano, a primera vista pareciera que esta defectuoso pero funciona.
