Black & Decker DCM7 Cup-at-a-Time Personal 12-Ounce Coffeemaker, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one of these for my mother for Christmas. Years ago I had gotten her a Black&Decker cup-at-a-time coffeemaker and it finally gave up last year. The only cup-at-a-time coffeemaker at a reasonable price I could find locally was by Toastess. The Toastess paled in comparison to the Black&Decker, not only in build quality but in ease of use. My mother suffers from a neurological disorder which makes it difficult to coordinate the use of her hands; she is okay with general tasks, but nothing which requires fine manipulation. This Black&Decker coffeemaker, like the model before, is easy to use. The power switch is on the front and a little larger than several coffeemakers switches; you just have to push down on it. There is nothing to move out of the way when filling the reservoir; just lift the lid. The reservoir is also a little wider than the Toastess making it easier to fill. Of course, one of the safety features, which the Toastess model also lacks, is the automatic shut-off. When it is finished making a cup of coffee, and it is fast, it just shuts off, which is great for someone who keeps forgetting to turn off their coffeemaker. The only issue I can see that someone may have, and niggling at that, is that this unit cannot hold tall coffee mugs. All of my mother's coffee mugs fit, which is a lesser concern for me, however, than its ease of use and safety, at which this Black&Decker excels.--Bob

Hamilton Beach 4 Cup Coffee Brewer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My old 4-cup Mr. Coffee was a decent little coffeemaker and it lasted for about three years before it started to give me trouble. Technically it still works but the coffee it brews is only warm, not hot.So I decided it was time for a new machine.

I did a lot of research, and the fact of the matter is that there just aren't many good quality 4-cup coffeemakers on the market.I researched the models from Mr. Coffee, Cuisinart, and Black & Decker, and none of them got particularly good reviews.I went to local stores and played with the display models and all of them felt very light, flimsy, and cheap.Even the $40 Cuisinart was featherweight and felt like it would fall apart at any moment.

I've always had good luck with Hamilton Beach products, so when I found this one online, I had a good feeling about it.I did some more research and found that this particular model is used in hotels all over the country.That seemed like a good sign.Commercial grade products are usually built to a higher standard than consumer grade stuff.

So I ordered it, and sure enough, it's a major step above the 4-cup machines made by the other manufacturers.Even though it's made mostly of plastic, it is heavy and stable and definitely won't tip over easily. The power cord is heavy grade and has a 3-prong plug.The on/off switch has a nice spring action and seems durable.

Due to the fact that these are made for hotel rooms, there are picture-based instructions in white ink on top of the coffeemaker.If you are very concerned about appearances, this might bother you.It doesn't bother me.The #1 thing I'm concerned about is how the coffee tastes... and with that in mind...

It tastes great!It's very hot, much hotter than my old Mr. Coffee.But the water isn't TOO hot, so you don't need to worry about it making the coffee bitter and over-extracted.

I only have two complaints, and they are relatively minor: when you're finished brewing coffee and you open the basket holder to remove the grounds and filter, a small amount of water falls out and splashes onto the warming plate and onto the counter.It's not a huge amount of water -- maybe a teaspoon -- but it does do this every time I brew coffee.Just something to be aware of; have a paper towel handy and it's not a problem. My other complaint is that there is no way of knowing how much water is in the reservoir. Usually they have a little window or some other indicator, but this unit doesn't have either. Mildly annoying, but not a huge issue and obviously doesn't affect the coffee itself.

All in all, I'm very pleased with this coffeemaker and would recommend it to anyone who is searching for a good quality 4-cup machine.

I gave it a 4 because I really do not like the mug, but that is another thing, you can use any mug. Measure the water with the alternate mug, pour it in, put the coffee in the little wire basket and flip it on. You have coffee in about 5 minutes. Great of office, dorm rooms, bachelors/ettes and lonely guys like me!

Hamilton Beach Personal Cup One Cup Pod Brewer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My Senseo finally died and I didn't feel like buying a new one.A friend told me about this little one cup coffee maker that uses Senseo coffee pods so I bought one.So far it works like a gem.Sure it's a bit "plasticy" and cheap feeling but it makes me a mug of coffee on demand and is letting me use my collection of various Senseo (and other) coffee pods.A small mug is the largest you can fit under the spout so be forewarned about not being able to use a tall mug.Device allows for one or two pods.I'm pleased with it.

Black & Decker DCM18 Brew 'N Go Coffeemaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've seen other reviewers complaints about this coffee maker, but I've used it for years & haven't had any problems with it. It's easy to use, compact, & works quickly. My wife & I both drink coffee, but not the same type, so it doesn't make sense for us to use a 2+ cup coffee maker since we'd have to make two separate portions anyway. So we each have our own B&D, & use them simultaneously. The coffee comes out fine; I use Starbucks Verona (which my wife says tastes like burnt coffee from the bottom of a pot anyway), & she uses a decaff chocolate blueberry flavor. The only difficulty (& it's not a fault of the B&D) is that the #1 filters are hard to find, even on the internet, but this coffee maker comes with a permanent, dishwasher safe filter, so you really don't have to use paper filters if you don't want to. I recommend this product for anyone who wants a quick cup of coffee & doesn't need more than one cup at a time.

Toastess TFC-25T Silhouette 800-Watt Personal-Size Coffeemaker with Stainless-Steel Travel Mug Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought a 8oz single cup coffee maker the other day, but
was displeased with it, was not enough to fill my coffee mug.
It was just enough to fill a tea sized cup.

I then bought this unit, that provides 15oz of coffee.
Fills my coffee mug with a little left over.
Note: you can add just a tad more water, to provide
two cups of 8oz coffee.

Very well constructed unit, and also looks great on the counter.
Also take note, it does shut off automatically once coffee
finishes brewing, which is approximately a quick 2 1/2 minutes.

Works well, and makes a great cup of coffee.

Toastess TFC-326 Personal-Size 1-Cup Coffeemaker, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love coffee. And, I'm kind of an elitist when it comes to coffee. I can only use really good beans-- right now I'm using Lavazza, but my every day coffee is starbucks brand.The problem is, I cannot produce a good POT of coffee for the life of me. I don't know why. I use filtered water. I clean out the carafe. My regular every day machine has a water filter. I don't know why my pots of coffee are horrid compared to my husband's pots of coffee, which taste as if they came from the local coffeehouse/espresso bar.

So, after getting a free senseo (YUCK!), and giving it to a friend, I bought this little coffee maker.IT makes a really good cup of coffee I have not messed up even one time.And, I use it 5-10 times per day.It is just excellent.I've been looking at the higher priced one cup makers, such as the Tassimo, but I'm not sure I need it. With freshly ground good beans, this little coffee maker does the job.

This coffee maker, by the way, makes a hot cup of coffee-- definitely as hot as every full-size coffeemaker I've ever had. I'm wondering if the other reviewer just got a machine that didn't work too well.Or, maybe he just likes it from boiled water.Whatever the case, if you're used to drinking coffee made from regular drip machines, this one is fine.

I've had this coffeemaker for at least two months now, and I literally use it 5 to 10 times per day.I keep expecting it to break, because it's definitely not made expensively, but it keeps going.I think it's a great choice for someone like me or someone in an office.

This comes with a durable reusable gold-colored metal filter.

Hamilton Beach 42115 3-in-1 Hot-Beverage Center, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is replacing a 4 cup Melitta coffeemaker (couldn't find a replacement carafe that would fit the brewer, which sat atop the pot).
This appealed to me in that this product has the following good features:

1) no pot/carafe to crack or clean
2) no waste (since you didn't have to brew 1-3 cups to get 1 decent sized mug + waste)
3) no hot plate/pot to turn off - nothing to worry about if you started a brew and then were unexpectedly called away or forgot about it
4) no paper filters required (but see below)
5) looks interesting - doesn't look like a coffee maker, takes up less space on counter, easier to keep clean.

I read some reviews - good and bad- and decided to get it anyway. AM SO GLAD I DID- I REALLY LIKE THIS THING!

Reasons:1)-4) above, plus:
5) water resevoir + filter assembly is dishwasher safe (top rack)
6) capability of using pods (I wasn't about to buy an expensive 'pod-processor', so this is a very nice 'perk' - pun intended! ;o)

Very easy- load it up, walk away, come back to beverage.Lovely!

Some tips to head off any/all problems-

1) Read the manual.Hey, things happen, but really - use COLD WATER ONLY.

2) If brewing multiple cups- WAIT AT LEAST 30 SECS after light goes off before starting another brew.To be safe, I wait a full minute- have not had any problems.

3) I could see the potential for 'filter fouling', so I buy generic #4 Melitta filters (huge pack can be bought for <$2/pk) (& since #1s are almost impossible to find/expensive).I cut them down to fit the little filter basket, and I can go back n forth from tea to coffee to hot cocoa to soup without carryover effects (dump out coffee & rinse assembly after coffee).
4) Be careful with pushing down on plastic parts- again- read the manual. You might have to double-check to be sure that the water resevoir is pushed in all the way some times (it happened to me once).Use the handle/flap assembly to open/close the filter assembly - this is covered in the manual.

I agree- it would be nice if this were made more robustly (less plastic), and I do worry about the ability to get a replacement brew basket if need be. But I paid less than $20 for this (at Meijer), so can't complain.

Black & Decker DCM18S Brew 'n Go Personal Coffeemaker with Travel Mug Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this coffeemaker for home about 2 months ago and I love it!It is extremely convenient to be able to quickly brew coffee for just one person.The best features of this unit are:
1.It has a built in, "permanent" filter which is a HUGE plus. No more running out of filters, EVER.
2.It is fast.In just a couple minutes I can go from sleep to sipping coffee.
3.It brews the coffee right into the travel mug.The unit I bought included an extra mug which is also a great convenience.
4.It is inexpensive!
The only downside I can see is that I would have made the travel mugs a bit larger, but that is not a serious problem.I would buy this coffeemaker again without hesitation.

West Bend 56204 Single-Cup Personal Coffee Maker and Water Dispenser, Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
