This 3 in 1 Breakfast Machine contains a toaster oven, hot plate, and coffee maker. All the items are smaller than if you bought them separately, but if you are tight on space this is definitely handy.

The toaster oven was probably the biggest negative. It is only wide enough to fit 1 slice of break. Fortunately there is a top burner and a bottom burner so you can stack 2 pieces of bread on top of each other and flip them in the middle of cooking.

I cooked eggs in a basket on the hotplate and it cooked the egg in about 5 or 6 mins.

Pros:
Space Saving
Dial Timer 15 mins max
Can turn on/off top and bottom burner individually
Reusable Coffee Filter
Easy to clean removable hot plate
Comes with baking pan

Negatives:
All components pretty small, can't toast large items
Don't expect to cook for large parties, but if just cooking for yourself not bad.
Timer clicking down can get annoying

Bialetti 1-Cup Electric Mukka Express Review

I received the Bialetti 1-Cup Electric Mukka Express Cappuccino Maker after a very disappointing experience with Krups latest item. Upon returning Krups for a full refund, I was pleasantly surprised by this small machine. What makes this machine so great is:
1-it is easy to use, just add water, espresso grounds, and milk (will even froth fat-free milk!)
2-plug in the base and push the button, then just go about your business as this little miracle brews and froths a tasty surprise for you (it takes 5-6 mintues)
3-easy to pour and wash. No small parts that will break or get lost and the parts seem to be VERY durable
4-the design is very handsome and easy to store on your counter top until next use since it is small thus not taking up much room

I would recommend this product to any casual coffee/cappuccino drinker who enjoys a tasty brew during the week and doesn't want to fork out money to trot to "4 Bucks"

just wanna HOT latte - walter j. wall - Bradenton, FL USA
I watched the instruction video, read the instructions, I followed step by step. I can follow directions, but this was a challenge. In about 15 tries, I had 3 successful cups. It seems simple enough, water to the mark, espresso in the basket, milk to the mark, close the lid, push the center button and press the on button. It leaked most of the time (coffee all over the counter) sometimes the red operating light wouldn't come on (no brewing), sometimes no froth, mostly luke warm latte. Cleaning: Wait an hour until you can seperate the top from the bottom (too hot to handle), bottom water portion started to corrode. I contacted customer service at Bialetti (the 30 day money back had expired). I sent the unit back to Bialetti and they sent a replacement but it was the stove top model, not the electric. Next step, send the stove top unit back and received the correct replacement 10 days later. Wait, there's more: first batch in new unit leaked, second batch not much froth and luke warm. I think I've had enough. I'm going to ask for my money back from Bialetti. Stay tuned.

Dissapointed in NYC - YZR - New York, NY
When I first bought this machine I was really excited. I owned the Bialetti stovetop version, which is very popular in Italy.

After TWO months of using this, my machine began to get moldy at the very bottom and the top. Basically, it started to oxidize. I hand wash this machine along with my stovetop, so I was following the directions without any issues. I finally called Bialetti and they suggested using baking soda with water, and then vinegar. Nothing helped and it started to smell.

I was told to send it back to them. After wasting shipping it to CA, the lady told me that I used a dishwasher and therefore was not qualified under warranty. I live in an old townhouse apartment, with no dishwasher. She then started to say that they don't cover oxidization. Buyer beware, I've only owned this for a few months and basically the warranty is useless! Aluminum + water + time = bound to happen to any machine.

Pros: Quick cappuccino, cheaper than some other versions, small, easier once you get the hang of it.

Cons: Hard to disassemble to wash (you're supposed to do it immediately to prevent oxidation, but that's hard considering the bottom is hot). It spills coffee if you don't assemble it correctly. You are supposed to use WATER ONLY. No soap. According to many reviews and Williams Sonoma representatives (who also sells this brand), the inside does eventually get black and can smell, so lots of maintenance required.

My advice is to get a milk frother. This machine seams cheaper than a cappuccino machine, but in reality you're throwing your money away.

Wow! - Panda - Seattle, WA
I own a very nice Krupps machine, but I was still spending .00 every morning for a cappuccino. Using the machine takes too much time, so when I saw an ad for the Electric Mukka Express I was excited. After reading many reviews, I bought one. It is absolutely wonderful! I prepare everything, except the milk, the night before. In the morning, I add the milk, press the Start button and go about my business. By the time I'm ready to jump in the shower, I have a perfect cappuccino.

I don't have time to clean the machine before I leave for work, so I add water to the upper part (where the milk goes)to help loosen the milk residue. When I get home in the evening, I take the machine apart and clean it. Clean-up is easy.

Black & Decker DCM18S Brew 'n Go Personal Coffeemaker with Travel Mug Review

Check Price Now!

The first cup of coffee I brewed in this was AWFUL - grounds splattered everywhere, sediment in the cup, weak coffee... awful. The tenth was pretty bad, too. A few things I've figured out about making a good, strong cup of coffee in this machine:

1) Ditch the reusable filter. You can either buy #1 cone filters from Melitta (available on Amazon) or pick up the next size up in basket style from the grocery. Those look way too big, but the edges actually fold to fit nicely into the Brew N' Go. The #1 cones limit (but not badly) the amount of grounds you can use.
2) Grind your coffee as you would for a normal machine. This machine seems built to replicate the normal brewing process as much as possible, only in miniature. If you grind your beans too fine so that you can use fewer beans and avoid spill-overs, you'll get a weak and over-extracted cup, just as you would in a normal machine. Using a paper filter will avoid spill-overs and allow you to grind the beans normally.
3) Be generous with the grind. I like a strong cup, and about 3 level tablespoons gets one out of this machine.
4) Fill the water reservoir at least to the line, maybe even a bit over, and use a tall cup to avoid splashes.
5) Expect a 2-3 minute brew time. If you use paper filters, there should be few or no grounds splashed inside the machine, and limited dripping when the cup is done brewing.

Hope this helps someone out there skip those initial bad cups!

Great but it won't last longer than 2 weeks... - Winston Chueng - IL, USA
I bought this for my brother who drinks coffee everyday. he's always in a hurry so this product is good because it makes just one coffee and no need for filters, even better right? WRONG. the coffee maker's filtration decreases functionality after a while resulting in watered down taste. SKIP iT unless you want bad coffee.

Bodum Chambord Insulated Double Wall 34-Ounce Coffee Press Overview

Bodum's Chambord 8-Cup double-wall glass coffee press keeps coffee hot and aromatic for up to two hours. With the introduction of the new insulated Chambord coffee press, Bodum has taken the iconic coffee maker and is reaching out, a second time, to rewrite history. Newly designed in double-wall glass technology, it keeps the brewed coffee hot and aromatic for nearly two hours. A highly sophisticated production process leads to this stunning thermo-effect. The inner beaker of the Chambord Coffee Maker is machine-blown whereas the outer beaker is mouth-blown perfecting the balance between insulation and product stability. The Chambord Double Wall Coffee Maker is complementing the revolutionary double-wall glass drinkware line by Bodum. The function is the same as the single-walled Chambord French Press: Just add the appropriate amount of coarse ground coffee, fill with water just off of a boil, give it a quick stir and set the plunger lid in place. Wait 4-minutes and then press and enjoy a well balanced, flavorful cup of java. Experience the roast and the flavor profile that the coffee roaster intended with the press brewing system which is accepted worldwide as one of the best ways to brew coffee. No extra filter is needed as the 3-part stainless steel filter is built into the press brewing system. The Double Wall Chambord is made of chrome plated steel, heat-resistant borosilicate glass, plastic and non-slip rubber. The capacity is 1.0 liter/34-ounces, and serves about 2 to 3 people. All parts are dishwasher-safe.

great coffee, doesn't stay hot long, handle with care, the glass broke - Dirk "Duke" Richter - Connecticut, USA
Makes more flavorful coffee because the steel screen lets more coffee solids through. The grounds take up about an inch or so of usable space, limiting the number of cups. You will probablly get at most 2-4 American cups. Double glass walled press kept my coffee warm, not hot, for about an hour. If you have to have a coffee press, save yourself and get a regular model, as the insulating properties were unimpressive. Pretty easy to clean, but as I tapped the bottom with my hand to get the grounds out, the glass shattered and impaled my hand. I'm going to get a stainless press instead of replacing the glass. The double wall replacement glass costs from Bodum.

cheap parts - AverageJoe -
The thing-a-majig that directs the coffee from the basket to the pot is cheap and broke only after 2 times... and since it was at a cabin and not used much and about 6 months old, we couldn't find the receipt. The brew does not flow straight down from the basket into the pot (that is why you need the thing-a-majig to "deflect" the coffee into the pot), so....you need to order another basket which is about plus S&H. Not worth it!! Look at another one!

Planning on throwing this one away.... - B.F. - Minneapolis, MN
I've had this coffee maker for about a year or so and I hate to say, all the bad reviews are not just due to cranky over-critical customers. This coffee maker has many flaws. The first being, as many others have mentioned, the poor design which allows water to leak from an opening in the back of the coffee maker causing less water to be run through and more water to end up all over your kitchen counter. I've had to put a towel behind it every time I've used it. The second problem is, the spout on the decanter isn't curved enough to allow easy pouring when you're filling the coffee maker up, again, you'll end up with water all over your counter and I've resorted to filling it with a Pyrex cup instead. Those are some annoyances but one thing I've found that I don't know if others have experienced is, it brews a really weak, watered down cup of coffee even with the "strong" setting on!!! To the avid coffee lover and connoiseur like myself, this is probably the worst thing about it. I've tried running vinegar through it, differant filters, adding more coffee grounds and even grinding the beans to the consistency of espresso powder but I continue to end up with a watery, "gas station convenience store grade" cup of coffee. Not exactly the way to start your morning. The glass decanter breaks very easily too if you're not careful, one slight bump against the sink while you're cleaning it and it shatters, I've actually done it twice now and had to buy new ones. The only good thing about it is it looks nice and it's programmable, but I would not recommend it to anyone.

They need to recall this piece of junk - Bryan W. White -
My first mr. coffee (FTX41) I purchased leaked probably a third of the amount I poured in. I stupidly thought I could fix it, but you basically have to break the plastic shell to get in to see where it is leaking. I very stupidly bought the same model again thinking it was a random problem, but sure enough, my brand new model leaked right away. My in-laws have the same model and it drives them nuts with all of the leaking and problems with the carafe. Please do not buy this piece of junk. It will drive you nuts.

I purchased this coffee pot from some local store when I first came down to my new city of Columbia for school. As my first coffee pot I didn't really know what to expect so I put my grounds in, plugged it in and enjoyed a first delicious cup. It is small, it fits well on a desk and despite what many will tell you makes the best cup of coffee not just for the value, but among many other more expensive options as well. I didn't realize this until someone broke my carafe and I had to borrow another coffee maker for a while. Don't be fooled by the price tag, price does not dictate quality. Either way if you want a great cup of coffee for a nice price, need the space, and like me think that 4 cup coffee makers are quaint then look no further.

Mr. Coffee 4 Cups - "Leo" - Maryland
I really enjoy this coffee maker. It's the perfect size for me. It makes 4 cups of 5 oz cups of coffee, so if you're like most people this really only makes about 2 nice sized cups of coffee, which is great for me, because I hate to have old coffee or to waste it. This is a great size for an office, apartment, college dorm, or if you don't drink very much coffee. It brews perfectly each time I use it; however, I have not used the programming feature yet since brewing only takes about 2 minutes.

Coffee Basket Flops Around - Christianne P. Erwin - Reno, NV USA
Alot of times this coffee maker works fine, but it's by chance. The directions say place the coffee basket in securely before brewing the coffee. And IT DOES fit in securely as long as there isnt a coffee pot in place. As soon as the coffee pot is set under the basket it wobbles around and it "lifts" up some from the spot it should be in. Sometimes thats fine, then sometimes you go to get coffee and you find all the coffee grounds all over the coffee pot and counterspace. A big mess on occasion. I've had Mr Coffee's before and never seen this problems, so maybe I just got a lemon.

Check Price Now!

I think when people are complaining about the coffeemaker breaking down after 18-24 months, they forget that the basic coffeemakers around this price point also break down after the same amount of time. I was drawn to this machine because for not more than what I had previously, I got a well-brewed cup and the frothing. And, I could make 10 cups instead of just one at a time. Prior to this machine, I was frustrated because I was buying a new coffee maker every couple of years. Either they made crappy coffee, or they broke (as my espresso machine did after a year). I can't afford to get some expensive latte machine that everyone thinks is "cool." And, I make at least one pot of coffee a day.

I'm a big fan of this coffee machine, but I will say that after having mine for about five years, I can't make lattes anymore. As for the leaking issues mentioned, I did have bits of coffee get lodged and cause a problem but I just check it before I use it. I also don't let water sit in the steamer well. This might be why it lasted longer than what some are saying. That said, now that the steamer is broken, I'm missing my froth and am trying to decide if I should get a new one.

I would love to get a new one but would like to see Capresso admit to some of the problems and make some improvements or at least give instructions on better care for the machine.

but, having said that, I'd buy it over the Krupps or Cuisinart equivalents.

Programmable digital clock/timer for "wake-up" coffee; pour a cup midbrew via 20-second brew-pause

Capresso 471.01 CoffeeTEC Digital 10-cup Coffeemaker with Stainless-Steel Vacuum Carafe and FrothXpress, Black Overview

Loaded with convenient features, this coffeemaker not only brews ten 5-ounce cups of coffee directly into a stainless-steel vacuum carafe, it also delivers up to 32 ounces of hot milk and froth for cappuccinos, café lattés, and hot chocolates. The carafe is virtually unbreakable and keeps coffee hot for four hours without a warming plate that can turn coffee bitter. Other features include a digital clock/timer for programming the brewing cycle up to 24 hours in advance (automatic wake-up coffee!); a drip-stop to pause the brewing cycle for 20 seconds if the carafe is removed for a midbrew pour; two brewing cycles (3 to 5 cups or 6 to 10 cups) for maximum coffee flavor; a permanent gold tone filter that eliminates messy paper filters; and a push-button, swing-out filter holder.

The milk-frothing system dispenses hot milk and froth directly into a cup and uses a separate heating system from the coffeemaker and a milk container separate from the water container for brewing coffee. (A flexible hose can be used to siphon milk directly from a carton of milk instead of the milk container.) The machine automatically switches to a stand-by mode for steaming when the brewing cycle is complete. However, milk can be frothed for, say, hot chocolate without brewing coffee. A knob adjusts milk flow, milk temperature, and the amount of froth, permitting precise control for individual taste. An instruction video comes with the machine, which measures 14 inches high, 11 inches wide, and 12 inches deep and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Coffee maker fine. Frother bogus. - C. jubilee - jersey
I brought the capresso maker for primarily the frother. After two uses of the frother, it did not work, or it took too long.
That was about 200 dollars for a function that I do not even use now. It is basically a coffee maker, which i could have PAID for a lot less.

Had to return FOUR Capresso Units - S. Stuart - Tampa FL
We ordered, took delivery, opened, tried, called customer service and returned four different Capresso units over a two month period. The frothing function wouldn't work correctly. We decided to keep our four year old capresso coffeemaker (which works pretty well)and canceled our order. On the positive side, I did learn how to return merchandise through UPS and thankfully, UPS did a good job.

Two and a Half Men Striped Mug But SAFE? - M. Cartwright - Oceanside, California
Got mine direct from the makers who provide them for the show. I called first to make sure they are safe. Was told on the phone they ARE from China but tested safe. Yet, found out on the CBS Television website that they contain lead & cadmium etc etc who who knows how safe OR unsafe they are!
They ARE gorgeous and cheap if bought from correct source. Handles are comfortable and never hot but the cup body itself does heat. GREAT cups if they don't kill me.....There are 3 different color combos I know of. I have this color in my 1st set.
Below is the warning I found with this mug:
WARNING TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS: The colored artwork or designs used on this product contain lead and/or cadmium, chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects and other reproductive harm. This warning is required by Proposition 65.

Addendum to 5 star review:

I bought it in July and by August the coating was peeling from the bottom of the kettle. I contacted customer service via the email through their website. Customer service was excellent and I received a replacement quickly.

Apparently, this is the first they've heard of such a problem.

If there is a defect, be prepared to pay for shipping and handling for returns. It adds eleven or more dollars to the price. I don't feel the customer should pay anything additional for a manufacture defect.
I hope my new kettle has no problems.

Earlier review:

Tea strength is adjusted by how much tea is used. It percolates (boiling temperature) water through the filter tray (two different mesh baskets included-one is a finer mesh). The temperature of the water makes a big difference in taste. It does a good job with both bagged and loose teas as well as herbals. I used some of my higher quality (i.e. more expensive teas) and the results were good. Just know your tea and how much to put in. Remember to put it on "warm" mode once it's made the tea. It does a thirty second reheat without steeping the tea again. I wouldn't let tea sit for more than an hour or more. I did it and the tea was a bit stronger. Just like coffee sitting in a pot too long, tea is best when fresh.

Safety wise, it's a winner for me. I have kids, so no boiling kettle to worry about. If you don't have kids, no worry about a kettle boiling dry. This tea maker has a safety shut off.

I LOVE that it is cordless.

Getting the basket into the carafe can be tricky at first, but I've gotten the hang of it. You have to line up the baskets with the carafe near the handle and then the stem connects to the bottom.

Kalorik 600-watt - James S. Duncan -
Works well as a hot water heater. Does not percolate well over the tea bags resulting in very weak tea no matter now many bags you put in. Turns itself off before the tea has had time to steep. I received this as a gift and would not recommend it to anyone.

Piece of Junk - Harry I. Shuman - Fort Worth, TX USA
I should have listened to some other reviewers. I wanted a replacement for my ever-leaking Zarafina. This isn't it. It is a cheaply made percolator with a bell and a whistle. The only adjustment you can make is the amount of tea you place in the basket and with full leaf tea it is almost impossible to determine. Don't waste your money.

Black & Decker DCM7 Cup-at-a-Time Personal 12-Ounce Coffeemaker, White Review

I am very happy with this coffeemaker, and am able to make my one cup of coffee a day. I use natural colored #1 filters, and that makes cleanup simple. I have 3 complaints, but am happy overall.

1. The dripper continues to drip once the coffee is finished. It drips after you take the cup out (no matter how long the cup is left there) and then it even drips after I take out the used filter to throw away. So, trying to keep away the coffee stains is not really possible, and it makes this a bit messy.

2. You have to fill you coffee cup with water and then pour into the tank. It is almost impossible to do this without spilling a little water down the side of the cup, which leaves you with a wet counter. Also, leaves a little remnant water in the cup.

3. It does not fit any cup taller than the normal cup size. Sometimes I would prefer a slightly larger cup, but it will not fit the cup under the dripper, and it will not hold enough water to fill it up.

keep the box and return label handy - P. DAgosta - NJ
I think this product works fine as advertised, though nothing taller than a standard 12oz cup will fit.

However, I sent the first one back after only 30 days because it stopped working. Never turned on again.
Had the second one for about 8 more months. Now it stopped working. Won't turn on anymore. This replacement cost about in shipping so it wasn't FREE. So after and 9 months, no coffee maker again.

If you want to rent this model for + per year, it's fine. If you want something you don't have to buy again and again, it's not.

Frustrating! - Scott A. Marshall -
We had a bit smaller version of this for years and LOVED it!! This one looks prettier but it is harder to use. We always steamed milk right in our mug before but with this one it is almost impossible to do because it immediately foams over and makes a huge mess. It does not adjust to steam/froth so you just get froth! It drives me crazy! I would rather have the other Capresso that is a bit smaller but worked great. If you never steam milk I suppose the espresso part works fine. I don't like it :(

Delonghi 12-Cup Drip Coffeemaker Review

Check Price Now!

I received this coffee maker as a gift some time ago and it works GREAT!

The LIKES:
1. I don't have ANY leaking problems as others have stated so I was very concerned when I received this coffee maker. I suspect that some of the leaking problems others have reported are due to not completely shutting the water/coffee swinging door or not getting the coffee pot conpletely onto the warmer plate.
2. The coffee gets HOT, hotter that with the old Gevallia and it's quieter too.
3. It brews coffee at 1 cup a minute (which seems to be like any other coffee maker I have ever owned).
4. Very stylish with a cup warmer on the top of the unit.
5. The water & coffee tray combination swing out! The ease of adding water WITHOUT spills and not having to reach so high & pour where you usually can't see to pour! Just pour the water in first THEN add the coffee!
6. NOT having to use the paper filters! I put coffee directly into the gold mesh basket and no grounds come out into the pot! If there are any grounds, they aren't worth mentioning.
7. Easy to clean, all of the filters & baskets come out for cleaning.

The DISLIKES:
1. I would like to see this model in White. (No big deal)
2. Setting the clock/timer requires you to hold the button until the time gets to where it needs to be. No shortcuts here. (Not that big of a deal)
3. A lighted clock would be nice also. (Not that big of a deal)
4. Water filtration would be good too. (Not a show stopper)
5. To set the Timer you have to press the On button TWICE to set the Timer until the Red light turns Green. (Again not a show stopper)

Overall It's a GREAT Coffee Maker!!!

Three star coffee maker, black hole for vendor. - A. J. Beauregard -
The product appears to be of fine quality. When I purchased the pot the ad identified the item as new. Well I received the pot in a generic cardboard box without the decantor. I notified your vendor of the problem and he stated the ad specifically said "no decanter".

Needless to say I did not see this in the ad. I would not have chosen to purchase a coffee pot plus shipping, then buy a decanter plus shipping from another vendor. I now have invested approximately double the advertised cost of the coffee maker.

The coffee maker does work and makes good coffee. I do have to drink it iced to cool off.

Regards

If you like plastic-flavored coffee - Alice B. - Nebraska
Bought this coffee maker and it is very easy to fill--loved that. The problem was the smell of melting plastic after it brewed and that smell was part of the unusual taste of the coffee. Tried expensive coffee, regular auto grind, and opened a new can of coffee trying to determine the bad tasting flavor. It was the pot--had to return it since I like hot coffee without the plastic overtones.

Design Flaw - Michael F. Erana - Raleigh, NC
I fell in love with the ergonomic design of this coffee maker when I purchased this appliance 6 months ago. The front load system is wonderful, the aroma button works great. However, there is an inherent design flaw that leads the coffee to run down the back of the pot and collect on the heating element, and some days on the counter. I've done more research on this, and many people are experiencing this issue. Looks like I'm going to have to go back to pulling a coffee pot out from under my cabinets, as I can't put up with cleaning up coffee everyday.

DeLonghi EC5 Steam-Driven 4-Cup Espresso and Cappuccino Maker, Black Review

Check Price Now!

I love this little machine! I purchased the first one in 2004 after reading excellent reviews on the "crema" quality. We've used this machine everyday for the last 5 years and look forward to it every morning. I'm an Americano drinker and have found the way to get the strongest, smoothest flavor from this machine is to pull a double shot, then add half an inch of boiling water, then cream. Delicious! Here in Seattle, I use local Lighthouse Roasters or Longbeach Roasters coffee beans at home. The freshness of these high quality coffees makes our home espresso drinks as good as we'd get at a cafe. The second machine I just bought today is for the office, where I've been spending way too much money running to the corner cafe for coffee in the afternoon. Since I purchased our first machine 5 years ago, the price of this unit has dropped by half (I paid for the first one). I'm hoping the popularity of the machine has allowed DeLonghi to drop the price and not the quality.

Side Note: I have never used the frothing wand on this machine and have heard the milk steaming/frothing capacity is low. The steam pressure, in relation to coffee quality, creates the most flavorful shots the first 2 runs. Give the machine a break of 10 minutes or so before turning on another steam cycle. For us at home, this is the amount of time it takes to drink our first cup, so the timing works out perfectly.

Cheaply made but OK in a pinch - E. Russell - Santa Cruz, CA United States
We have a different primary home model that we use daily and only bought this for traveling. I feel it's very cheaply made and find it disappointing that you need to add water each time you want to brew. We made it work but would never have this as our primary home espresso maker.

Great quality, bad engineering - Mark Kreitzer -
The build quality of this model is amazing. I just purchased a similar Mr. Coffee model which is cheaply built. It broke and I had to return it. This DeLonghi feels solid. Only problem is that it is almost impossible to froth milk with it. If they could make the frothing mechanism more flexible like the Breville models, put it higher up, this would be amazing... I'm really sad I had to return it. I could see that this would be OK if you have a nice frothing beaker that is fairly small, but otherwise, I would not recommend this product. I hope they read amazon reviews.

This is an awesome little coffee maker in a tiny package.
I've had a large Gevalia coffee maker as well as a Senseo single serve coffee pod maker, and while this brewer doesn't quite match up to the Senseo, it definitely does a good job and makes a good hot cup of coffee.
I don't know why it got such low reviews, perhaps people wanted more for the money they paid, but in all honesty, it is an amazing little bargain of a coffee pot for the money. (Though I must admit I got it for about at Target.)
I love that I can program it and have my coffee ready for me in the morning as well as know that if I forget to turn it off in the morning, it has the auto-off safety feature.
It makes just the right amount of coffee (I use paper 16 oz Insulair cups with coffee lids) so I can have a cup in the morning and I can top off right before I leave the house. The coffee is piping hot, and I have to wait a while to let it cool before I take my first sip. The heating base keeps the coffee at the perfect temperature between cups. (Not sure why others said the temp was too low?) On the weekends it's great for splitting the coffee between two for breakfast. :) Unless you use aLOT of milk, it should be hot enough; I suppose if you want to go Latte, you might be better off putting some milk in the carafe before brewing so the base can help get it heated up.?
I also use this machine to heat up my water when I want to make a cup of tea (or cup of noodles, etc.). I've also brewed tea with the bags in the carafe, but haven't yet tried to brew straight leaves, which may be nice. I use paper filters as this one didn't come with a permanent filter, and I've actually found that it's much more convenient to use paper since I just have to toss it in the trash and don't have to worry about cleaning the permanent filter.
This machine is lightweight (which I like), but it doesn't feel cheap. The carafe is lightweight when empty, but sturdy. I've been using mine about twice a day for the past six months and the handle is still very sturdy (I think the guy who had the handle fall off just got a bad one.) The base does slide a bit when you try to push the buttons, but all you have to do is push down on the top of the machine while you're setting it; not sure why others complained about that so much? If you really want it to stay in place, you could try using one of those non-skid rubber mats underneath?
I'm giving this 4 stars only because it doesn't match up to the Senseo (which costs ) since that machine uses turbulence to create a nice frothy-fresh cup each time, then again the single serve pods are a lot more expensive and it has a weird round base design which takes up more counter space...so I'd probably give that one 4.5 stars. The Black & Decker is about on par with the standard Gevalia I used, since that one was a basic brewer, but the larger insulated carafe was harder to clean and was also a lot more capacity than I needed.
When I was looking for a new coffee maker, my requirements were that it have a timer, be a 4-5 cup machine, and be a good price (-). I compared it to the Mr. Coffee 4-cup glass carafe coffee maker. This one won because it was a lil larger, the carafe looked sturdier, and I liked the lid and closed design of the carafe as compared to the cheaper, more open glass carafe on the Mr. Coffee which might also crack/break.

I thought of Black & Decker as more of a power tool company, and thought this machine would be sturdy and reliable. So far, it has totally reached my expectations and I will definitely buy more home appliances from them in the future.

I came online to verify the carafe was stainless steel and not seeping into my coffee/water and I wound up writing a long defense of my lil coffeemaker. Obviously I love it...!

ALL IN ALL, A GREAT BARGAIN COFFEE MAKER WITH GREAT FEATURES FOR THE PRICE. Just realize you're getting a good standard coffee maker and not one of the - machines that are bigger and heavier.
A GREAT DORM OR APARTMENT COFFEEMAKER!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Fits the bill! - Barbara Clausen -
I've enjoyed this 3-mug coffee maker since receiving it. Maybe paid a little too much, but Black & Decker is a trusted brand. I am using up my cone filters by squishing them down into the grounds holder and they work just fine.

Black & Decker DCM 675 is Terrible - Dart W. Winship - Sacramento CA, USA
I thought that this would be a "good buy"
It leaks coffee grounds into the coffee

Junk - bstnh1 - New Hampshire
All the B&D coffee makers are junk - at least all I've used or heard about. The one I have stops intermittently during the brew cycle, the rim on the hot plate cracked after just 1 month, you have to use more coffee than with other coffee makers and it takes about 12 minutes to make 6 cups of coffee.

Cuisinox Roma 6-cup Stainless Steel Stovetop Espresso Maker

i've had this espresso maker for a few months now & it is Spectacular & worth every penney ! ( never thought i'd be gushing over an espresso maker - in fact, i almost never review prodcuts myself, though i read them thoroughly before making purchases - but here i am . . lol )

If you've used stovetop espresso makers in the past, i think you'll find its performance Exemplary & if you haven't, the web makes it very simple to learn. Best of all, this pot makes it Fun.

PROS : really substantial construction

sleek, elegant design - eye candy ! lol

( this product is amasing actually . . i'm a sucker for things aesthetically & materially Well Done & this pot ROCKS - makes me happy everytime i look at it ! )

25 YEAR warranty ( how often do you see THAT ??!!! )

delivers lovely cups of espresso in no time, with no mess ( and you can watch it happen - doesn't spurt all over with the top up so you can )

comes with an insert that allows the option of 3 espresso sized cups if you so choose ( about 3/4 cup total ), in addition to its normal 6 cup / 1 1/2 cup capacity

comes with an extra gasket as well

looks as Beautiful after alot of use as it did out of the box

CONS: Zero that i can see

It may seem pricey at first but if you love espresso & want something that is just lovely to look at AND that will last, this is definitely the way to go. ( We have used stovetop espresso makers for years & this one trumps all i've come across. The aluminum ones end up looking crummy in no time, plus you really don't want aluminum in your body if you can help it & coffee is a known acidic. And the stainless steel on this one, is not a flimsy layer that's going to wear off. In fact, i just sent this to my daughter for her birthday. She loves to entertain and this makes a lovely impression whether for one or for guests. You definitely won't want to hide this away. )

This product is apparently made by a Canadian company but IN China according to the literature that accompanies it - which speaks Volumes for company oversight in terms of quality control & definitely not the usual made in China purchase you wish you'd passed by.

Ok, have i gushed enough yet ?? lol

Cuisinox Roma - M. Edmond - CT
Makes a very good stovetop cup of espresso. Better than I had expected.
A hefty and nice quailty item - extra gasket especially nice - and it is a lovey looking pot. If using it on gas stove, use a "flame tamer" (a metal disk to cover grate)and be careful of the handle - it gets hot. This has not been an issue for me. I use a pot holder to take it off the heat and after about a minute I can pick it up by the handle with my hands.

Great Espresso Maker - A Nice Surprise - Cate - San Francisco, CA United States
I have been using stove-top espresso makers for years, generally Italian espresso makers, so I was a little skeptical when I purchased this one. I purchased it because I thought that the design is lovely. Also, there is no rubber or plastic on the handle that might be subject to burn on my gas stove. I gave it a test run as soon as I received it. And, boy was I surprised with how well it performs. There was no spurting or spilling over as I poured. I did have to use a potholder to pour the espresso, but I have found that if you wait a couple of minutes, the handle cools off. This espresso maker puts out at least 6 full espresso cups, or fills one large mug. I couldn't be happier with it. After using it for over a week now, at least twice a day, the Cuisinox Roma is not showing any wear at all--in other words, no darkened burn marks on the sides. Very easy to clean, and it comes with a spare gasket, which is a plus. Also included is a screen filter that you place in the filter so that you can make 3 cups instead of 6. I would not hesitate to recommend this espresso maker.

West Bend 33600 100-Cup Commercial Coffee Urn Review

Check Price Now!

This West Bend 100-Cup urn is the most dependable of all my "fleet" of coffee urns. In my opinion the polished aluminum doesn't look as ritzy as stainless steel models, and requires a bit more scrubbing to keep it new looking. But one of my two new stainless steel models (in my case, Waring) stopped percolating after only 5 uses, and gave colored water rather than coffee during a presentation. My replacement, if Waring won't fix it under warranty, will be West Bend models. Long-term reliability/dependability is far more important than fancy looks of imported stainless steel.

West Bend 33600 100-Cup Commercial Coffee Urn Feature

West Bend 33600 100-Cup Commercial Coffee Urn Specifications

Standing handsomely on its stay-cool base, this big coffeemaker is ideal for a buffet line, office, or any other situation where a lot of people drink a lot of coffee. It percolates up to 100 cups at a cup-a-minute rate and then automatically switches to keep-warm, serving-temperature mode. That's when the light goes on and the spigot shows off its no-drip capacity, perfect for spotless cup-and-saucer use. Lifting the spigot provides a continuous flow for filling coffee servers. The 23-inch coffeemaker is made of polished aluminum. The urns cover locks in place to prevent accidental spills.

Absolutely wonderful! - Lou A. Bristol - Kalamazoo MI
This coffee Urn is just what we needed for our football concession. It makes great tasting coffee but we also use it for hot water to make hot chocolate. I would highly recommend it.

Nice Coffee Urn - Edward Babekov - Flushing, NY
There's not much to say as I just purchased this recently. I wish they made this thing with 60-cups. I purchased similar coffee urns before and they all died on me in a year or two. Hopefully this does not die on me so soon. Why I didn't put all 5 stars was because the body is made from aluminum.

It's a coffee maker - BillJ - C'ville, PA USA
Can't really give any fantastic reviews. Needed a new coffee maker for meetings...this fit the bill. I think these things cost too much, but what can you do if you need a large coffee maker?

Cuisinart ® Commercial 1-Cup Coffeemaker Review

Check Price Now!

I have two points to add about this machine:

First: It's neat! No messes to clean up in the office, no coffee grounds to dump.

Second: I like deep, rich coffee, and at first I was very disappointed. I tried using two pods, but that can lead to nasty messes. Then, I hit on the answer: use less water! I now fill the water reservoir to about 1/4 inch beneath the maximum line, and with a Senseo Sumatra blend pod, I get a satisfying cup of coffee--but only about 2/3 of a mug. I don't mind the diminished quantity; I can always make another one, and half the time I don't finish a full mug anyway. Simple, cheap, satisfying solution.

Important note to users getting watery coffee - G. Rowat - New York, NY
I've had this brewer for over a year, and for the first few weeks was intensely disappointed in the watered down coffee it was producing. On the top of the machine it says "Fill water tank with COLD water". It took me awhile to realize that THIS is the secret of the machine. Something to do with the heating of the water slows it's drip through the pod. You get a much better cup of coffee if you use water from your refrigerator. It's still not a top of the line device, but it's good for it's price if follow this tip.
And [...] has good quality and service for pod ordering.

TRASH - A. Help - San Diego
I bought (and quickly discarded) the stainless steel version. See my review on it, these machines are NOT pressurized espresso/coffee makers, they are for-crap drip makers not even comparable to a "Mr. Coffee." At least Hamilton does not falsely use "Commercial" but instead hints using "Coffee and Water Dispensing"...they just leave out the one part coffee ten parts water ratio! A "zero-star" product...unless you are into colored water (hint, you can save lots by using one ounce of coffee from any real drip machine and adding water) or you are into wasting your money.

dishwater coffee - N. C. Kenfield - Alabama
If you like weak, lukewarm, dishwater-tasting coffee, this is the machine for you.
Yeah, it's pretty portable if you're traveling, it's easy to clean, it's convenient, but the coffee it makes is awful
Get a Keurig or a Senseo, or, better yet, a "Handpresso" if you want good coffee. The keurig isn't very portable, but it's small.
happy Joe!!!

Leaked on my wood floor too many times! - Michigan Catholic - Michigan
Usually I don't bother writing reviews on any product. But this so called coffee maker has leaked too many times that it's going to the trash.
The internal plastic basket has to be locked into position just right to avoid leaks. I've managed to get a decent pot of coffee half the time with the other attempts ending up as a wet surprise on my counter and wood floor.

The validation group for this company should be terminated.

Let's face it folks. A coffee maker is not rocket science. Its function is to drip hot water over a filtered basket of coffee grounds with the end result of having liquid in a pot. This model has failed at that simplistic endeavor.

Awful tasting coffee - bad plastic - Lataz - Boulder, CO United States
I would rate this coffee maker higher for the styling and brew control features, but if it doesn't make a good cup of coffee it does not rate any stars. We ran just water thru for the first time, as the instructions state. Several pots of coffee were not drinkable. Terrible plastic taste. I am going to look for a coffee maker with a steel interior.
