What a failure!

Seemed just right for a simple way to make a quick single brewed cup of coffee. Small, low profile and uses little space on the counter. The science is so simple and established that I figured there could be no problems.

Wrong, it cannot deliver more than 6 ounces of water through the system, even though the water well holds 12 ounces. If you drink more than six ounces (smaller than a juice glass) of coffee, this is not the unit for you.

The well is filled with 12 ounces and the machine starts to brew. Good. Then, about half way through the process (VERY slow) it simply stops. I used my own 12oz mug which fits well but the pot seems pooped and just keeps on heating the water without delivering it through the plumbing.

This is a simple and cheap product that works. It does not turn off automatically, and I always worry I'lll leave it on and burn it out or burn the house down, but I haven't.

This one cup coffee maker is nice if you just want one cup of coffee. You must adjust the coffee to your particular taste. It includes a mug and a washable filter. It also includes a measuring spoon. It fits most mugs.
