Question: What shape and size filter should I use, since I find them easier for clean-up?  Thanks!
Document: I've been using this model for about 9 years and, over the years, have had to buy a few replacements but considering what it is and frequency of use, is quite acceptable. I use one at home and another at the office and have always been satisfied with its performance. I discarded the included mesh filter and use the No 1 size cone filters instead because it's so much easier and quicker. Only issue is that they have shortened the electrial cord since my 2005 review.
As an on-the-go college student, I can say that this is an excellent personal coffemaker! It brews quickly, turns itself off when it is finished, and is easy to clean. I use a paper filter (size 1) inside the mesh basket to make clean-up even easier. The included travel mug is very sturdy. Heating water for instant oatmeal is another good use, but the water isn't hot enough to make good tea, in my opinion.
I have a Keurig at home and wanted something similar for the office (since the coffee my employer provides is AWFUL), but I didn't want to spend a lot. This little brewer by B&D is GREAT! It has it's own filter so you don't have to use paper filters, although I use them just because it make clean-up a bit easier.
I was looking for something less pricey than the popular one-cup makers now selling. This one does not disappoint. It's fast, just the right size, and the thermal cup keeps the coffee warm for quite awhile. Nice to be able to use your own coffee, too. I do suggest getting paper filters, though, because the permanent filter's size and shape make it a little tough to get completely clean. You really can't go wrong with this one.
I used the plastic coffee mug for about a week before it came apart. Since the maker's size lends itself to travel, being able to use 110 & 220 would be a great feature. All in all I am VERY satisfied with this 1 cupper.Pros:SmallEasy to cleanRelatively fast brewCheapCons:Could be designed in a way that it is easier to use other mugs.
Since I'm the only one in my family that drinks coffee, there is no use in lugging out the full-size coffee maker. This is the perfect-size machine for a single coffee drinker. It gets your coffee hot and clean-up is a breeze.The warning I give is that if the filter is not properly seated into the drip spout, you will have a mess. Other than that, I love it.
I love that this coffeemaker takes up such little counter space. The permanent filter is very nice in that it eliminates the need to try and find the right filter size. The only thing I had trouble with was the amount of grounds to put in but I'm guessing that the problem is with me since I have not made a lot of coffee. Other than that I couldn't be happier. It's so awesome that I had to buy a second one for my mom.
i finally picked this up because it was cheap & i was tired having to deal with cleaning up after my other coffee maker. so far it's worked fine. takes minutes to put the water & coffee in & brew. can always find something else to do for a few minutes in the morning while it's brewing. coffee tastes great. shuts itself off when done. there is the permanent filter but i just stuff regular filters in as an extra measure to make it easier to clean.
1) It eliminates the "crumbs" in the bottom of my mug. 2) It helps cut the bitterness. and MOST importantly... 3) It makes clean up even easier.Take your regular size coffee filter, fold it in half, then in half, then half again (into eighths basically). hold it in your fist and trim off whatever is left at the top and you've got a perfect fit!
My apartment kitchen has no counter space. Reason for purchase #1. Bought one for my mom - loves it! Just purchased another one for work. Works great. Just the right size & price!! I use the Melitta #1 filters @ work. Easier to clean. I decided to buy one after a co-worker let me use the one she keeps at work. Takes up very little space. The noise it makes does not bother me at all.
Answer: We have been using the number 2 cone filters. They work well.
