Makes Brown Water
Buy anything but this! Like other reviewers said, it takes a long time to make a weak cup of coffee, and the chances are high that you will spill water. Why anyone would buy this over a one cup gravity drip for $5 or a $15 brew and go is beyond me. Oh yeah, I did, but now you know better.
Plus, at the time I write this, someone is trying to sell one for nearly $200. He/she probably thinks they are just seeing what the market will bear, but at some point you're just a crook! I'll let you, gentle reader, decide where that point is on an item that often sold for less than $20 and does not really work. Maybe this is now a collector's item?
I've also seen a few reviews where people like using this to to make supposedly strong coffee. Maybe we have a different definition of what strong is, or at best, this indicates questionable quality control, since so many reviews are similar to mine. But if there is a trick to getting this thing to work, please let me know before...
Excellent device *with caveats
I purchased this item for $18.99 on a one day sale at another retailer about two months ago. I have made about 3 to 4 10oz. cups of coffee with this device each day since. On Brew1's website this item is $130.00. (This third party vendor hasn't read the memo; presently priced at $199.00). [just noticed the mugs which weren't part of my purchase from a different vendor]
I am very pleased with this coffee maker. It takes roughly three minutes to brew ten ounces of coffee when using the reusable capsules provided. For me, that is fast enough.
I would give it five stars but, for me, I can't. Why? Because the reusable coffee capsules/pods in which you place your own coffee, are virtually impossible to clean because of the space within the cap between the exterior shell and the interior water disperser. I clean them the best I can but there is still detritus coffee film which I have found to be a concern. If you do not plan to use your brand of coffee and expect to...
Do Not Buy
Expensive machine-replaced twice in 3 months for explosions. You can only buy coffee directly from them and not only is it expensive, the customer service is non existent.
Place your order and if you are lucky, it might ship in a week. Or not. You'll have to spend hours emailing for information and begging for a tracking number.
Don't say you were not warned.
Gave then one star because I could not give them ZERO using the Amazon system. Seriously, unless you have a lot of money and time on your hands-oh, and you don't mind a coffee maker exploding in you face, I would look elsewhere for a single brewer.
