Best Uses
Comment:
My husband uses his coffeemaker an average of 4 times daily. The first time I washed the cup by hand, it started leaking - after 3 weeks of minimal washing, we still keep shaking water out of it & it leaks every time you take a drink from the cup. If it weren't for that, I would buy one of these machines for myself as well as gifts for other people!

Strength
Compact design-takes up little space
Weakness
Looks cheap
This coffee maker is perfect for me, because I am the only one who drinks coffee in this house. And I don't drink more than two cups a day. So this size of this coffee maker suits me. Besides, it is small, can sit on my desk, without taking much space. It is also easy to be taken out.

Strength
Fast, Compact Size, No Paper Coffee Filters
Weakness
Hard to Read Fill Line; Outside of Mug gets Hot
I ordered it from Amazon on Friday and it was here on Tuesday. I love the fresh coffee taste for each cup I have without having to stand over it and pour the hot water like in the manual systems. Since the mug gets hot I just use it like the coffee pot of larger systems. The fill line is hard to see unless the light is just right, but that is no longer a problem since I can do it by memory now. It brews in just a couple of minutes and you are ready to go. I wish I would have found this product years ago.

Strength
Compact and quick + auto turn off
Weakness
Cup gets hot + hard to see fill line in reservoir wish it came in white (or office beige!)
This product is nice and compact. I purchased it so I would no longer need to bring a thermos to work with coffee. The coffee is brewed fast and hot, with very little evaporation. I would also recommend this item for tea drinkers...saves a trip to the cafeteria.
