Krups Simply Brew Stainless Steel Single Serve Drip Coffee Maker amd Travel Tumbler 12 Ounce Stainless Steel Tumbler Included 650 Watts Coffee Filter, Compact Silver and Black

Makes very hot coffee like more expensive machines is what I like but will have to wait for second cup for a few minutes for machine to cool down.First before filling put cup under, second notice hole in back if overfilled will go all over your counter. So I simply took a inexpensive plastic cup and marked with a permanent marker level on cup that fills coffee pot without overfilling to leave as a guide for every morning pour.Manufacturer,Want to improve product, include a measuring cup.Makes great hot tasting coffee. Cost a lot of money for most coffee pots to brew truly hot coffee that extracts flavors well. For example zojirushi and oxo and others. Take precautions to keep out of reach of kids and caution. Delicious hot coffee that doesn’t get cold when you add real cream.Try using a tablespoon scoop or if you like it strong, a tablespoon and a half or two according to your liking.This is NOT a coffee on demand machine like a kurig. It is not made to make another cup of coffee instantaneously, the reason being is because it heats your coffee up to a nice high temp and it needs to cool down for a few minutes so it will not turn on right away after making one cup. Me and my significant other wake up at different times so it doesn’t matter or if we wake up together, one waits a few minutes. So if you want a good hot steaming cup of coffee and not worried about rushing it. This is the coffee cup for you.However, when you hit the start button, it makes a pretty instant cup of hot coffee for you, it is just not made to be used instantly after first cup, as it has to cool down some.I use one of my own Stanley stainless steel mugs I own and have not used mug it came with. So use a stainless steel mug or ceramic, instead of the metallic one it comes with for good flavor. I have NOT used mug it came with so I can’t speak for that.

Good

6.5/10Pros:It's compactIt has a reusable filter for coffee grounds (Eco-friendly!)The filter is easy to cleanOne buttonRelatively fast on making coffeeComes with a coffee tumbler thingCoffee tumbler keeps coffee relatively hot for about an hourCons:It can only hold 12oz of water. (be careful how much you put in there or it will leak out from the back)The bottom cup holder is not removableIt does drip after turning it off (don't really mind as I put a little bowl in the cup holder to catch the drip)If you want to make a cup of coffee measure out the water first and don't keep it preloaded in thereMaking multiple cups of coffee is kind of a painMakes a scary sound when opening up the to add more water after the first cupThe coffee tumbler thing kind of has a metallic taste to itHave to hold down the start button till it makes heating up soundI can see older people struggling to put water in there as it is kind of hard to see and you can miss easily.I am always in a rush in the morning so I do like how it only takes a couple of mins to make a cup of coffee. It's a good starter coffee maker for people who have never used one before and/or have limited counter space. Just be careful making more than one cup of coffee. When I made multiple cups of coffee I thought I broke it because the start button was not doing anything. You definitely get what you paid for which is not necessarily a bad thing. Once this breaks down (which it eventually will) ill invest in a better compact coffee maker with more buttons indicating how much coffee I want.

I’ve had a number of single brew drip brewers over the years. The worst was one that alternately also did K cups. My favorite was a little $8 one from Walmart, but it burned out. I would have bought six of them, but they stopped making it. The recent dedicated drip Brewer began to have “electrical smells?” I mean I would turn the corner and smell that smell and they would be. “!!!!” in my head so I decided it’s time to stop using it and buy a new one. This one was an offer and it is the highest quality of all of them I have ever had.. it is also a little bit of an improvement over each and evert one. It’s large enough you do not need a separate reservoir door. I’m doing fine with that. It’s tall enough to accept my favorite mug without being so aggressive that there’s splashing going on. The speed of brew and temperature is very good. The flavor is being properly liberated from the grounds. The permanent filter rinses beautifully, and does not stain. The construction is high-quality and stable. I’m really happy with this one. The stainless steel Tumblr that comes with it is high-quality, I have used it and it works well. I now use it for a quick water Tumblr and continue to use with my favorite Aladdin mugs that are in pristine condition that I bought in 1980 something. I’m rambling now. I do recommend this product.
