Input:
Question: Do both sides brew at the same time or do they have separate timers? Does it even have delayed brewing timers?
Document: The idea was intriguing but not exactly what we hoped. You don't have the option of brewing on one side or the other. If it's one cup then it's on the left. You can't brew the right side alone. It does drip on both sides even if you only brewed one cup. It works well enough and it was better than messing with our Keurig (very sad for Keurig) but not our 'forever' maker.
My husband and I have owned this coffee maker for more than 2 1/2 years, and we love it. We don't drink enough coffee to justify brewing a whole pot, plus we like ours at different strengths. It does brew two sides at a time, but since we drink our coffee at different times we just use the one side most of the time.I'm not sure why people are complaining that the coffee isn't hot enough.
Compared to the other "to-go" type coffee makers I have tried, this one brews the best coffee. But the drawback is the design. If you only brew on one side, the other side will still drip a small amount of coffee. Both sides continue to drip even after you shut the machine after. Also when you take out the basket to clean it, it drips all over. Good coffee but lots of clean-up.
I loved the idea that you could brew one or two cups, but this machine was nothing but a big pain for me. I've already packed it up and bought a different one. There are two separate swing out arms each with its own filter but they leak every time I used them. The water comes through so fast you have to use extra coffee grinds so your cup is not weak. It is also not very hot because it is not in the maker long enough to heat up properly.
I purchased this as a replacement to a Cooks Dual Coffeemaker that broke after many years. I am thrilled with it! It is what I wanted - I can brew my flavored coffee for myself & decaf for my husband at the same time! I even use my own mugs instead of the travel mugs. I measured the amount of water that fills both cups, marked it on the coffeemaker, and only put that much in! Works great!
I liked the idea of brewing two cups of different coffee at the same time. But cleaning was difficult and removing the brew basket was impossible. Regular paper filters are not available which would make cleaning easier.
In fact, if I use the tumblers that come with the machine, it stays hot for plenty of time for me to finish (I drink slowly). The directions do state that if you brew the coffee in the same container you used to fill it up with cold water, run it under warm water before brewing. Reading the directions helps. :)One of our filters just started to rip, and I'm seeing that they can't be bought individually.
I brew my wifes into a thermos brand travel mug and it stays hot for hours there. You do have to pay attention if brewing only 1 cup. The picture of 1 or 2 cups on top of the maker where you turn the dial to make 1 or 2 cups at a time is opposite of where you place the cup while making only 1 cup. (Picture shows 2 cups on the left and 1 cup on the right but to brew only 1 cup you place the cup on the left.)
Advantage:  My spouse and I like different brands of coffee. This is the only machine we could find that does this. The concept is perfect in brewing two different coffees at the same time. The #1 Melita filter fits for those of us who like that additional filtering. No need for the second person to wait to brew their cup. It's simple to use. The cups are attractively stainless outside with black plastic inside which bypasses that metal taste and makes for a better tasting 14 oz. brew.
But even more importantly, if somebody drinks decaf and I drink caffanated, You can make them in their own separate filter baskets, without any unwanted contamination! Even cooler, I can make coffee in the left travel mug, and I can make hot coco or tea in the right travel mug!REVIEWER ARGUMENTS: I bought this coffee maker on Amazon, so I have been privileged to read all the reviewer arguments.
Answer: They brew at the same time.  No delay setting.  Each side has its own coffee ground basket but they share the water resivoir.
