Not Worth The Money!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Just like others i’ve have had this coffee maker for a few months and sure enough it does overflow from time to time. With shipping this cost almost $50. Money you can spend on a better product! I don’t want to have worry about having to stand over my coffee maker while it’s being brewed just in case it starts to overflow. The other drawback is that you have to use their mug and if you like a big cup of coffee first thing in the morning you will have to do two brews. I got this because I like using my own grinds as well but i’m sure there is a better single cup coffee maker out there then this one. Don’t waste your money.

Good practical coffee maker
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have had this coffee maker for a little over a month and so far it has served me well. It is designed with simplicity in mind and so there is only one button to push to start the brewing and this has good and bad aspects; good because it’s simple and that’s what I like, but bad because if you hit the brew button by accident, there is no way to stop the brewing process short of unplugging the device from the wall, and even then when you plug it back in it will resume its 4 minute brewing cycle. But this is a minor inconvenience when you take into consideration that it brews a really good, quick cup of coffee, is small so doesn’t take up a lot of counter space, and it’s nice looking too. The mesh filter is easy to remove and rinse off. I thought the plastic components inside the device looked a bit cheap but they function perfectly well so far so I cannot complain. I decided on this over the Keurig single-cup coffeemaker because it was much cheaper, no expensive K-cups were needed, and it brews a great cup of coffee. I would recommend this product.

Terrible disappointment
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I originally was given this product as a gift three years ago and use it in my office. I was so pleased I bought a brand new unit for home. The new unit is different and has a serious problem. When it works, it brews a good cup of coffee. But the mysterious thing is that periodically it leaks, so you wind up with half the coffee on the table underneath the coffee maker. There’s no way to predict when that will happen. Maybe it’s caused by the fact that I use two tablespoons of coffee, and that’s more than the designers planned on. But whatever the reason, I can’t tolerate it and will not use it again.

What a MESS!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
We’ve had this coffee maker for over a year and most of the time it does what it says it will do, but our experience overall has been negative. At least once or twice a week it “overflows” for no apparent reason. It’s NOT that the cup fills up and overflows. Coffee flows from the top, with the mug half empty. This occurs even if we use the mug to measure the water (so it’s not that we’re so stupid that we add too much water.) We’ve tried different coffee, different position of the spray arm, etc. and nothing seems to fix the problem. We’ll come back into the kitchen after starting the coffee maker and will find half a cup of coffee flooding the countertop. I wouldn’t purchase this coffee maker again. We’re looking for a replacement.

Great gift for Mom’s office
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this for my mother for Christmas. She forgets her coffee at home most mornings, and since she works by herself, this coffee pot is perfect for her to keep at her office. It is compact enought that it doesn’t take up much space, and it makes a great cup of coffee in only four minutes. It was easy for her to set up and, so far, she is really enjoying it.

Hot coffee
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Good product! Delivers hot coffee. The product I received at first was defective – the switch did not work. The rep was very professional and courteous and sent a return label in the mail but I actually got a replacement in a store. I’m totally happy with the product. I look forward to good coffee every morning.

A poorly designed coffee maker!
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I felt sorry that I bought this coffee maker. It made a mess because about half of hot coffee water did not go into the mug or cup. However, I could fix the problem and it seems to be o.k. now. At the bottom of the filter basket there is a short spout. This spout is so short that it let the water to spread out and run out of the cup. I attached a short hose to the spout to make it about 1/4″ longer. This solved the problem.

Great little coffee maker
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a great little coffee maker if you only have one or two coffee drinkers in the house. It’s also pretty fast. As far as those people who say it doesn’t make the coffee strong enough, well just use more grounds people!
Also, if you have two people you may want a second mug. GSI makes one in the exact same dimensions, you can find it over at [...]. Just search for “12 oz. GSI Glacier Stainless Steel Travel Mug”.

Too restricted
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
A nice looking one-cupper. Works well. However, it is designed to use only the cup provided. The cup provided is a little small. My old one-cupper could use most any coffee cup or mug.
