Customer Review: Black & Decker DCM7 Cup-At-A-Time: Thumbs Up!
Summary: 4 Stars
First, many thanks to all the other reviewers who posted their opinions for this product. They were a big help in deciding which item to buy. I did in fact buy this Cup-At-A-Time coffeemaker, and it's worked out well. The details....
--- I had no problem with the temperature, and found the coffee plenty hot enough. For those who prefer super hot coffee (like my dad), I suggest you warm up the mug with hot water from the tap just before use. This will keep the coffee at brewing temperature significantly longer than when using a cold mug.
--- I've been using this item always with the addition of a paper filter, on top of the reusable filter. This makes the coffee nice and strong. I found that either Melita cone filters or 4-cup basket filters will work, with a little modification. The Melita cone filters need to be trimmed with scissors along the top, to remove about half an inch of paper. This makes them a perfect fit. Round basket filters (4 cup size) need no trimming. First you flatten them, then fold them in quarters, then fold up the point a little bit. Finally open the "cone" to create a suitable pocket for the coffee. Works great.
--- I've had no problem with coffee grounds getting into the water reservoir. I think this will only happen if you try to add coffee grounds to the filter while the filter unit is still inside the machine. Bad idea. Just lift the filter basket out, put it on the countertop, and add the grounds there. Then put the filter basket back in the coffee maker. It drops into place very easily.
--- Note that the maximum height for a mug to fit this coffeemaker is 4 inches. Taller mugs will not work.
--- And that's about it. Overall, I am very please with this item, especially for this price.

The Black & Decker Cup-At-A-Time makes one small cup of coffee at a time.
When new it does have a plastic taste. I hope this will go away over time. You can wash the brew basket in the dish washer but not the main unit. No cup is furnished so you need to furnish your own. Forget a tall cup, it will only handle a small one.
Make sure you put a cup under the nozzle before you turn it on. As soon as you turn it on coffee comes out immediately. I do not plan to use the furnished wire basket. Instead I found that a regular 8-12 cup paper filter will fit. One tablespoon of ground coffee seems to yield a good taste.
There is no warming unit and the brewer shuts it's self off after making the coffee.
Ideal for that one cup of joe.
Customer Review: Black & Deckor One Cup Coffee Pot
Summary: 5 Stars
We are extremely pleased with our coffee pot having had one for over six years. When ours started leaking we were upset and I turned to the internet to find one. Luckily, I found one almost identical to the one we had. I cannot tell you how happy we were. Thanks you for handling this product.
