## Description

Kitchen Selectives Single Serve Drip Coffee Maker - Black (1 Cup), With 12 oz. Mug, Removable Drip Tray and Illuminated Power Light. The push button on the lid needs to be fully actuated to ensure the lid opens properly. The lid should fit tightly for safety. Stronger coffee can be made by using more coffee.

Review: Outstanding quality, especially at this price - I absolutely love this coffee maker, and am so happy I read a lot of desertcart reviews and picked it over some of the others, like the Black & Decker. This model seemed to have far fewer returns and problems than most others. The only issue I had at first was that the button to open the top lid was pretty sticky and sometimes it was hard to make it open. Finally I figured out the problem and "adjusted" the little spring-loaded tab that comes out to lock it closed. It seemed to be too long, so that pushing the release button did not quite bring the little tab back far enough to allow the lid to open. So I trimmed the end a bit with a sharp knife ... worked better ... and then a wee bit more. Now it opens & closes perfectly. Unless you're a complete klutz, this is a very easy fix to make, should you ever need it. I do love this machine, definitely. Just takes a minute (actually, much less) to rinse the old grounds out of the screen, add more, and then pour in the water for a cup of coffee later in the day. Haven't timed the brewing, but it's very fast. The screen doesn't filter our 100% of the grounds, of course, so I plan on getting some cheap generic coffee filters and cutting them to fit, rather than buying the expensive custom-fit filters. Right now I just don't drink the last bit at the bottom of the cup. One thing that impressed me, too -- at first I was very careful to move the little spout (where the water comes out and goes thru the grounds to brew the coffee) back over the screen since you have to rotate it out of the way to put in the screen & new coffee grounds. However, while fixing the lid-locking mechanism I noticed that when you close the top lid, the lid actually is designed to push the faucet thingie back over the screen, where it needs to be for brewing. Very clever, and makes things quite foolproof. I AM impressed -- the engineers were actually paying attention to detail when designing this device. Not only is the quality extremely high on this product, the price is FAR lower than a lot of definitely inferior machines. I'm highly tempted to buy another just in case they ever discontinue this model, which would be a real tragedy.
Review: Very nice low-end coffee maker - I was looking for something small to replace a Keurig that would be simple, basic in features, and make a good, single cup of coffee. This little coffee maker fits the bill perfectly. It brews a very nice cup of coffee and doesn't have a lot of sediment at the bottom thanks to the the way it's filtered. The coffee maker has a wire mesh filter, but under that is another plastic filter with ridges that sediment has to navigate, which reduces the amount that gets through. I usually pre-measure the amount of water I put in the unit, but it has raised lines in the reservoir in case you don't want to pre-measure. I like that the lines are raised rather than etched, since they are easy to see. Some things to consider and watch out for: There isn't an auto-shutoff feature, so you need to make sure you turn it off when brewing is complete. The brewing process takes longer than a K-cup, but it's only a few minutes and it's worth it for the quality brew it produces. Since the unit is small and light, it's hard (impossible?) to turn the unit on and off without either pushing it against something or holding the opposite side with your hand. If you want a quick and easy way to turn it off that doesn't require two hands, I would recommend a switch at the outlet. I bought a Belkin switch on desertcart that does the trick nicely. The arm that pours the water over the coffee grounds swings out of the way for you to work with the filter basket and then swings back. Don't forget to move it back or you may end up with water going to unexpected places (!). Fortunately, the lid has a ridge on the inside that will swing it back if you forget to move the arm but close the lid. The lid sticks a little. I thought about gluing a little nib on the top to help grab it, but the other way to nudge it up is to push on the back of it when you press the release button. Oh, and just a cosmetic correction: my unit has the power switch on the left side, not the right as the picture indicates. Bottom line: I am 100% satisfied with this purchase. It's a very small coffee maker that doesn't take up much space at all, yet it produces a nice cup of coffee. It produces a nice single cup of coffee with only the grounds as waste (though they can be reused in your garden or compost pile). And as another reviewer said, if someone gives me K-cups, it's easy to pop them open, dump the grounds in the basket, and brew on.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Cute toy coffee machine that makes coffee at forty dollars way over priced put in cart and wait for it to go back down to twelve
*by C***D on January 1, 2015*

So far it's cute and that's its biggest plus. I got mine for twelve dollars and now they want like forty with shipping not worth that. Comes across as cute but very cheap looking. No auto shut off and my power button is on the left not the right like in the pic. I used two scoops of coffee and it doe's like eight to twelve oz of water, will accomadate most cups you have (coffee cups). I made sure to clean the screen that hold the coffee right away to avoid the mold problems they have and I noticed from dripping there was some thick residue of coffee grind below screen so had to pour in some extra water and use a second mug just to get that part clean, headache to do after each cup. Has drip catcher on bottome that you pull off slotted part and then pull out catcher and rinse when needed. I had six discover dollars so I figured this for six bucks with free prime ship was worth a try, it's not worth more to me then that. I'm already looking for a replacement in the thirty dollar range but this would be a great dorm maker or someplace you wanted the convenience of small maker. It feels like a cute china knock off not a forty dollar unit by any means. I had a sip of the coffee it made with nothing added it was stale coffee so can't really critique on the quality of the cup I made, but it tasted fine and rich, I had just had two cups of instant which is what I've been drinking without a decent maker and couldn't force down the cup I made, but like I said it seems fine so it doe's make an ok cup. I like the big grind holder you can fit probably three scoops worth to make an amazing strong cup or just one for normal weak coffee and you can add up to twelve oz of water for a decent size cups worth not much water gets caught up in the grinds like when makeing twelve cups worth. If you want something that has a toy feeling to it then consider this it's gonna need vinegar cleanings regularly I can tell and it seems cheap so I'm not expecting long life but it's worth the six bucks it cost me. UPDATE: The day after, I drank a cup from it very good coffee so it works well, top where button is when cup is done filling is super hot with steam very dangerous to young or yourself, use with caution. Good coffee though no funny taste like my old coffee maker had. Gave it an extra star today for coffee quality. UPDATE: I've had this for a few days and as I said mostly instant coffee drinker, this is the third cup I've made with it and the push latch already doesn't work to open the unit, I need to push and use a knife to pop open the top, just a little more ifo for those who care about it. Took it back down to three stars because of lame quality parts. Oh and it takes about four minutes to make one cup not ten like someone else had stated in their review.
