Customer Reviews

Very good single-cup solution.
This is an excellent solution if you like a small-ish (8-10 oz or less) and convenient cup of coffee in the morning. My experience is that no automatic drip maker is really designed to make a good single cup, and while I use a french press on the weekends, cleaning the screen assembly is too much hassle for a weekday morning, as is having to mind the infusion time. So the swissgold one-cup is an excellent compromise. There's no brew time to pay attention to, it's very easy to rinse everything clean under the tap, and you don't have to buy or throw away paper filters!

My only complaint (hence the 4 stars rather than 5) is that the infusion time seems very short -- the cup is usually done brewing in about a minute or less -- and the coffee does lack body as a result. I wonder if the filter might have been designed to slow down brewing a bit more. In any case, I just use a fairly fine grind, like one of the other reviewers here said, and end up with very decent coffee with a minimum of hassle.

Perfect for the mobile solo coffee drinker
I've used this product for 15 - 20 years (since my wife is not a coffee drinker) and I love it. It is easy to use, to clean and tastes great (I tend to make it strong, with a finer grind than they recommend). Now that I am going on assignment overseas, I've purchased two more: one to take with me and one for the office. That's how much I like it! It also can be taken on camping trips. I put the filter in a ziplock bag, and then put this inside a partially filled coffee can.

coffee filter
Bought this to use w/my herbal coffee (Teecinno) and it works great. I had read of some complaints about it not draining, but just washed mine in the dishwasher before the first use as recommended, and it has worked perfectly since. Only time it didn't is when I ran water through it a second time, which I don't do any more anyway. Only took 1 Tbsp. Teecinno to make an 12 oz. cup. I didn't like the idea of my drink going through a paper filter when I know they use chemicals to process the paper.
