FITS TALLER MUGS & IMMEDIATE AUTO SHUT OFF AFTER BREWING
 
Review Date: July 1, 2008
Reviewer: Teresa Johnson, Durham, NC - Go Duke!
This was exactly what I was looking for. Don't hesitate buying it. It will fit a variety of sizes of mugs as long as they are not huge. Mugs can be rather tall and still be fine. It does shut off very quickly after brewing...made me feel safe about using it - I'm moving quickly in the morning and won't remember to turn it off. The red color is really cute, just as pictured. I reaaaaaaally like it alot. You can use the permanent filter OR take that out and use paper size 1 or 4 cup filters, like I do. I think it makes a stronger brew with paper because it holds the water on the coffee grounds longer...same with any coffee maker. Takes up no space at all, too.
I Recommend This Coffee Maker

When I first got it, after a bit, the button that turns it on did not work well and it took many attempts to turn it on. So, I took the bottom off and jiggled a bunch of stuff in there, screwed it back together, and it has worked perfect ever since. I bought it about three months ago. It doesn't brew the best coffee unless you use a coffee filter in it and grind your coffee to fine. But, if you do that, it is a great machine.

I found the original filter set up to be bulky and I didn't like the roundness, so I used the set up I that had come with a previous one cup coffee make I had, Black & Decker DCM7 Cup-At-A-Time (which I do not recommend for a few reasons). That way, I have a cone-shaped filter set up and can use cone filters.

What I like about this coffemaker is that it is red so you can see in it well to clean it (although I saw nothing to clean in the 3 months I had it) and also the outside is easy to clean because any food or dirt is easy to see. But, I recommend reading the reviews for the black model, because they are considerably more favorable for this machine and will give you a better overall review.

I love the fact it allows tall coffee mugs to go under it. That is a must for me because I have one mug that is taller. It has an overfill feature that drips water out of the back if you put too much in. However, I like to make taller cups of coffee which this maker can do just fine, so I took some JB Weld and filled that hole in. So now, I can use any size mug I want.

This coffee maker stays clean and has no mess. I have owned a black and decker brew and go and it was very messy, had issues of overflowing and getting grounds all over. The unit heats up very fast and brews coffee very fast. I do not recommend pods and I do not recommend using the original filter set up or you will get a weak cup of coffee. It works perfectly with coffee filters.

In my opinion, this red west bend single coffee maker is one of the best, if not the best on the market!
perfect for one cup

I love this coffee maker! Not only is it my favorite color, but I don't waste coffee anymore. Note: be sure to use just the right amount of coffee otherwise the coffee won't brew right and grinds will get everywhere! Took me a couple of times to get just the right amount of coffee to make the perfect cup! Love the built in filter.
Good Coffee Maker

This is a very good simple single cup coffee maker. You can use a double size cup if you cover the small overflow drain hole on the back, no problem. Black & Decker made this style about 10 years ago, I had 2 of them and they finally died.
great little coffee maker

This is a great little coffee maker. Very fast and hot. I like that you can use either pods or a coffee filter with your own ground coffee. Also, has enough height clearance for a taller coffee cup. Would recommend it for someone looking for an office coffee maker at their desk or at home if you just want one cup of fast brewed coffee.
