Cuisinart SS-5P1 Single-Serve 40-Ounce Coffeemaker, Stainless Steel,Silver

So far so good. I don’t recommend using replacement filter baskets to brew your own because coffee grounds get all over the place and dark brown sediment in the bottom of cup. Yuk! I will say that It definitely works best with the k cups. I always press down on cup before closing lid and pods don’t explode. Learned this from another reviewer of this appliance. I definitely enjoy the coffee it produces. It is hot but not so hot it scorching which is a plus if your on the go. Brews pretty fast.

gets hot water quick. mt wife loves it.

We had an older version of this coffee maker that could easily be used by the elderly and disabled The buttons were raised, the low water indicator light protruded and aided in finding the buttons for those with low vision, and the filter holder and water container snapped into place. The new version of the coffee maker is impossible for use by our elders. Here’s why:1. Buttons are nearly flush with the surface, as is the low water level indicator. It’s too hard to locate the buttons.2. The filter holder no longer snaps into place. It fits inside the water container so loosely that it falls out when pouring leftover water into the sink. It must be removed first.3. The water container no longer snaps into place on the back of the coffee maker, providing physical and audible confirmation that it’s positioned correctly. It’s far too easy to misposition and spill it.4. Because the buttons and water container are no longer user friendly for the disabled, it’s easy to bump the pod bay lid while preparing to make coffee. If the pod bay lid is bumped as the coffee maker is starting up, the coffee maker may shut off. Then it has to be unplugged in order to reset.We’re going to return it and get something else. The previous version was easy to use by the elderly and disabled. This one is ridiculously difficult.

I am loving this coffee maker, the size is perfect for me. This is the 3rd single serve coffee maker I have bought, one was too big and I ended giving it away, bought a smaller one but I didn’t like it because each time I had to add water and it took up more space than this one. I like that it holds enough water without being so bulky. The coffee turns out great and I am the person who always had whole beans and would grind them myself , now I am liking having an assortment of coffee pods with a very fast cup of coffee. So glad I decided to buy this was, I was a little reluctant after reading a review it leaked, I have not had any leaking with this coffee maker, everything about it has been perfect .

Personally for the price, I think it’s the best single cup coffee maker out there. Yes it leaks, IF, IF IF you take the reservoir off the machine BUT you don’t have to. Just fill up the reservoir with a pitcher and voila, it doesn’t leak.I only make 1-2 cups in the morning, so this fits the bill. You can use Kcups with this or your own coffee in their own basket they provide with the machine. I like using my own coffee so using the basket/pod they provide makes it worthwhile.It takes about 45 seconds for a cup to brew. So the fact it doesn’t have a timer or clock is negligible. It’s simple bare bones single cup machine where you can use your own preferred coffee and not Kcups.

I bought this over a similar Keurig because it is a machine that takes up less counter space. As opposed to my old Brewville, there are no real bells and whistles just the power and one of three cup sizes. I mad a cup and the coffee is good and hot It is fast and very quiet. I like the rear mounted reservoir which helps keep the width about 2 - 3" narrower than the equivalent Keurig. Like ALL machines with hot water on demand (no wait brewing) turn off when done. Leaving the machine on will keep water hot when you want it but will accelerate calcification. My expensive Brewville went into the dumpster because of this and it was no longer supported. So my advise is every 2 weeks, do a white vinegar flush and keep it off unless you are ready to use.2 Years Later: Still working as it did when it was new. However, during the past 2 years I noticed a few little issues. Occasionally (not very often), the coffee maker would lock up and nothing works. It has to be allowed to site with the unit unplugged for about 1/2 hour to allow it to reset. The tank could be a bit larger since after brewing two cups, the reservoir is empty. It does not brew as fast as my previous brewer. It could use one more size option aside from 7,10 & 12 oz. Otherwise if you are not a heavy duty user, this is ideal. If you entertain, get this coffee makers bigger brother.3 years later, still going strong. I use various brands of K Cups and never had one that wouldn't brew in this machine. (6?29/2020)
