Gives a quick brew for one cup but the quality of the brew is average.
She loves it.I also like the way that Amazon.com shipped the product in such a timely manner.Thanks. We took it to her, when we went to visit last December. I bought this because my aunt hates making a pot of coffee, when there is just her to drink it. I have had this type of coffee maker for years.
She comments about it all the time, good deal. I bought this for my mother for Christmas, she LOVES it. The cup leaked a bit, she called the maker and they sent her a new one, no questions asked.
I use the mug to fill the water reservoir and the mug dribbles water. So I do it over the sink so I don't have to wipe down the counter. Overall, It works very well, makes good coffee.
Instead I pour the coffee from the mug into another mug or a big cup. I have not been able to master pouring coffee out of the mug into another container without the dribbling. When I do this, coffee inevitably runs down the side of the mug while I am pouring it.
I have owned this "DCM18 Type 1" - written on the bottom of the unit - for 3 months. I do not use the mug to drink the coffee though. Perhaps I should be instead drinking right out of the mug and that would solve the problem - but I don't want to do it that way.I use a #1 filter in the filter basket for easier cleanup, trimming a #2 filter back a 1/2" also works well.The coffee is hot and tasty.
The one odd thing about it is the mug. Over time, I have found just the right way to pour the water into the reservoir without the water also dribbling down the side of the mug.
The one I had before replacing this was also B&D and it lasted over 10 years. I was glad to find that B&D still made this product.
