On-the-Go

This is the best coffee machine I've bought. Although it's a drip system, coffee comes out very quickly for a great cup of coffee. I love that it's 16oz too; it was the only machine i found with the capacity of a larger cup of coffee. I buy the small sized coffee filters, trim them a little, and the left over ground comes out of the included basket without any scrubbing. Very happy with this purchase.

My wife and I had to cut back on coffee consumption and stopped making a whole pot in the morning. Also, I need to drink half caffeinated and she usually takes full strength. We decided a one cup maker would be the way to go. We didn't like the wastefulness and expense of pods. We gave this a try because we'd used a Capresso maker for many years and were happy with it. This is a very basic machine. You put the grounds into the reusable basket, pour in the water, put your cup on the stand (don't forget this part!) and push the button. No brew settings, no beeping to let you know the coffee is ready, no hot surface to try to keep the cup warm. There is also no valve under the filter to keep it from dripping when you remove the cup. We've just gotten in the habit of emptying the grounds before we take the cup out from under the machine most of the time. Oh, as others have mentioned, the travel cup that comes with this is REALLY terrible! Capresso should do better. So it's got it's flaws but...we really like the way the coffee comes out. The temperature is right and it brews at the proper speed to let the flavor come though and it's easy to use.

This is a very good compact coffee maker for home or travel. If not for a few design flaws, I would give it five stars. I initially bought this for travel, but find myself using it in place of my Cuisinart full-sized coffee maker when just making coffee for myself. It works great in hotel rooms, or when when staying at other people's homes/rentals while traveling. It can even work at rest stops, provided a plug-in can be found. The pros: small size, very quiet, nice mug, and great coffee once the nuances of making it are learned. It even works well for a second mug using a 2nd run-through of the original grounds if a small amount of new grounds are added. It takes 5 min or less to brew a mug of coffee which is much faster than my full-sized coffee maker. The cons: the included filter leaks grounds into the mug, the top of the coffee maker will not stay up, and there is no auto-shut off which can cause drips and spills to occur if the mug is removed before all the liquid has flowed from the basket above. For me, the worst issue is the propensity of the water and grounds overflow the brew basket. This results in the grounds backflowing into the water reservoir causing a messy cleanup, plus a nasty amount of grounds in the mug. All these issues can be overcome, however. I use a small paper basket filter which works much better than the included filter, and have learned to grind my own coffee to the proper coarseness. It took some hit and miss to figure this out. Finely ground coffee does not work well at all with this maker since it tends to float over the top of the basket. Adding only 2.5 to 3.0 teaspoons of course coffee grounds (1-tsp = 1 flat scoop) normally prevents the backflow issue. If you add more than 3 scoops for the first run, it can be risky. On the second cup, you can add another 1/2 scoop or so and still have good coffee without having backflow issues. I normally fill the mug to only 3/4 full when adding water to the reservoir. Any more than this can result in backflow issues or overly weak coffee. The hot water flows through the basket and into the mug rather quickly, so there is still some "oomph" remaining in the grounds after the first mug is made. The grounds are course, after all. I fashioned a small tube which can be inserted into the hinge of the lid to keep it from falling down while adding grounds to the basket, or cleaning/drying the coffee maker. With all these work-arounds, I am very happy with this unit after using if for almost a year now.

Just purchased a new Capresso to replace my old one than finally died after at least 6 years. It's easy to use, compact and makes a great cup of coffee. Since it has a reusable filter basket, any type of coffee can be used and made to your taste preference. Hope this one lasts long as my previous one, I imagine it will. Highly recommended.

Garbage, don't buy. Didn't last 4 months. If I could give a zero star, I would. I could brew coffee through a busted rubber better than this junk could brew. STAY AWAY!!!

Se conserva caliente el café en el termo, práctico y rápido. Lo compré para consentirme.

This coffee maker is simple, makes strong hot coffee in no time and is so easy to clean. I love the full stainless steel travel mug that comes with it. It also takes little space on the counter. I definitely recommend it!

En mi casa sólo yo tomó café, es muy útil y rápida cuando solamente necesitas hacer 1 termo. Muy fácil de limpiar y evitas las complicaciones de otras cafeteras. Ocupa poco espacio.

Well made - compact - good value for money

I use the product to make my morning 16 oz coffee. ☕️ I love the fact that it makes a large 16 oz mug of coffee. Many products only make small liquid sizes. The only thing that could be improved is the temperature of coffee, could be a little hotter. Nice product…🥰
