Kitchen Selectives CM-688 1-Cup Single Serve Drip Coffee Maker, Black



Worth more than what I paid for it - very good value.
This is the perfect solution for anyone who enjoys an occasional cup or who has no counter space for a larger unit. We already owned a 12-cup, much more elaborate electric coffee maker when I started searching for a Father's Day gift for my husband. He really likes coffee but not every day. And, he's the only one in our home who drinks it. Everything comes in a sturdy box suitable for gift wrapping. I gave it to him with various bags of gourmet ground coffee. Had I thought about it, I might have added a personalized cup, just to make the gift more special.
The coffee brews in just a few minutes to the perfect temperature; no waiting for cool down. The white ceramic mug is a nice value-add; now my husband has a mug just for him. He likes the size of the mug handle - lots of room for man-sized fingers. The mug has no markings or label. You can add the amount of water for brew strength and the serving size you prefer. There are level marks inside the water reservoir - 8, 10, 12 and...

Best coffee maker around!
I purchased this particular one for my son. After researching several single cup coffee makers, we chose this one because you can use any coffee you chose -- not premeasured, expensive containers. You can make it as weak or strong as you like and use your favorite brand of coffee. It is noisy, but the unit is compact, looks good and clean-up is minimal. Now, he can have his coffee fresh when he wants it and not from a pot sitting around for hours! Perfect!

Mine works great!
3 and 1/2 minutes. From flip of the switch to the last gurgling slurp!
Cup-o-Soup, Hot Tea, Hot Coffee . . . whatever I've needed Hot water for . . . and Piping HOT every time!
The largest "Cup" on the market; I could find at 12 oz. but could probably do 14 if you had a cup to hold it.
(The brim of the cup it comes with is at 12 oz.)
I love it!
I switch it off AS SOON AS it is done.
i remove the permanent filter and basin immediately, rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
I remove the permanent filter except for making coffee.
I love how I can make the cup of coffee as STRONG or weak as I want depending . . .
As well made if not better than any other 'Plastic' small kitchen gadget I've used.
I did pick my unit up locally for $12.00 and after a month sought out
Amazon Review to help shed some light! Good Luck!

It has been a little over a year since I purchased this unit. I still follow my...
