Product Description

For clean, clear, flavorful brew in about 4 minutes, the manual drip can't be beat. Near-boiling water is poured in a circular motion over grounds in a cone style filter-this creates turbulence, evenly soaking and distributing the grounds. Coffee then drips through a paper filter that traps sediment and oils.

Customer Reviews

Brew Cone 5 Stars...Travel Mug 1Star
The Brew Cone is wonderful...mmmm...freshly brewed coffee for every cup.
The Travel Mug is another story all-together. The seal on the lid is tenative at best. Mostly leakes coffee with every sip. I won't use the lid anymore. Otherwise it's a pretty mug.

You are only getting a brewing cone.
I purchased the Travel Mug Coffee Maker for my
87 year old mother. She enjoys a good fresh cup
of coffee in the morning and does not like the hassle
of using the coffee pot for a single cup. She has used
the brewing cone several times and enjoyed it immensely.
The mug, however, is totally useless. The first mug we
received had to be returned. The lid only rested on the top
of the mug. It did not attach in any way. We returned it
for a replacement which is only a slight improvement. This
one gives a good impression of a lid that will stay put but
is totally untrustworthy. My mother can not count on it to protect
her from a cup of hot coffee spilling on her lap. She
brews the coffee in a regular mug and will probably use the
Melitta Mug to root cuttings. This said, I would purchase
this item again, recognizing that the brew cone is all that I am
getting to make it worth the price.

Ready Set (fix lid) Go
I like the coffee making part of the coffeemaker, but, like many reviewers have said, the lid is VERY loose. If the lid is on right, you can drink from it without dribbling down your chin, but it doesn't take much to knock the lid off of the cup. The cup itself looks good, and fits in my car cup-holder (a big plus, compared to those that have handles that get in the way).

Overall, you can't beat the price for what you get. And you can use the coffeemaker top on any other travel mug. Melitta just needs to figure out how to make the lid a little tighter.
