We've owned one of these for at least 15-20 years, and have never had trouble with it. So convenient for busy mornings, easy to clean, and the auto shut-off is wonderful! Buy it, you'll love it!

This is the neatness product for one or two coffee drinkers, like me. It does one cup at a time quickly and then shuts itself off. It has a built-in fine screen filter so no more filter fumbling and buying. It takes up very little counter space or small enough to tuck away in your kit cabinet like you would a 28oz can of beans.
It brews so quickly, two or even three people can have coffee in about the same time it would take a bigger coffee maker to do. A must have for limited counter spaces. I do not see the faults others have mentioned here in mine?
The only improvement I could think of is a buzzer when it is done, but it brews so quickly this is no biggy and I set my kitchen timer for 1 minute as a reminder.
 Horrible plastic taste in new model! April 12, 2005

I had an old Cup-at-a-Time in my old workplace, and it was great! But I bought one for my new workplace, and am very disappointed with the horrible plastic taste that I cannot get rid of. I have scrubbed it out, run a vinegar solution through it, run a baking soda solution through it, even run fresh-squeezed lemon juice through it, and many, many changes of water, but the tea still tastes strongly of plastic.
I'm going to try a metal electric teakettle instead.
Good coffee from this little coffee maker December 10, 2006

I was skeptical that this coffee maker would brew a good cup of coffee. I bought three when these were on sale here for $4.99 (yes, just shy of five bucks). Figured it couldn't be that bad, and the reviews supported that. Sure enough, this DCM7 makes great coffee. Hot, and very fast. Just need to heed the warnings to use 4" or shorter coffee mugs. Very pleased with this. Have one spare, and one is going to my daughter for Christmas. Even at $15, this is well worth the cost!
You can make tea (or hot chocolate) too! March 20, 2007

I bought this for my bathroom, so I could easily have tea during long baths. I didn't want a big, bulky machine to store under the sink, so this was nice and small (it's sorta cylindrical--about 8.5" high, 7" wide & 6" deep). I figured it was so inexpensive, that I wouldn't be too upset if it didn't work well. Heck, people pay almost this much for one cup of coffee at one of those fancy-schmacy places. It does work great, though!
Unlike some other brands, it does indeed have an on/off switch. I just stick a tea bag in the permanent filter, some sugar in the cup and in 2 minutes, hot tea! You can also make hot chocolate..of course with cocoa mix (land o' lakes..which they sell here at amazon, rocks!)and water. I suppose if you filled your cup with ice, you could have iced tea, too, but I haven't tried that yet.
This model requires you to have your own cup, but if you're like most people, you have extra mugs around (you need one under 4 inches high!) The machine takes up to 12 oz of water, but I couldn't quickly find a cup short and fat enough to make a whole 12...only 10oz. That is fine though...in 2 minutes, just make 10oz more! It doesn't have a warming plate under the cup, but you're likely making it to drink right away. Totally worth the price.
Now I'm thinking of getting them for all my friends at work for Christmas with a cute mug and a bunch of hot chocolate mix...that would be a fun present.
