DCM25 330-Watt 1-Cup Coffee Maker with Auto Shut Off | Compact & Space Saving | 2-year Warranty (Black)

I have been using these for at least 10 years as a small travel accessory for when I travel. This is very good and is a good alternative for your regular coffee machine when traveling. Do not expect this to be a replacement for your regular coffee machine as this is considerably small in size and the amount of coffee this can dispense is one half of a regular cup. The coffee filters are washable so you needn't replace them each time.

It's very handy and makes good coffee. Only drawback is the cup size is too small. However, I've tried with slightly bigger mugs and it works. Good as a gift.

Don't by this product if you are a true coffee lover ! I have used it just once and regret buying this - I guess I cannot return it now as it is already used. Here is my take of the product... - You cannot add more than 1 (or 1.5) teaspoon of coffee powder & hence what comes out is VERY VERY light coffee decoction. You can force two teaspoons but then it will create a mess around the filter area and cleaning it is a real pain. If you prefer strong coffee then you can only add a few more teaspoons of milk (which will make half a cup of coffee for you), else your coffee will look and taste like horlicks !! The other option is to prepare two half cups of coffee back to back, but who has the time. Even if you prefer black coffee, the quantify is so little that you have to add more hot water to make one decent cup of coffee - The design does not allow steam to be retained long enough to soak out enough of coffee from the powder and this also adds to the issue that I have described above. - The quality of material used is just about "average" so I don't see this last more than 6-9 months. The water reservoir is not visible so you cannot see the scaling inside (especially those who have to deal with hard water). They recommend descaling ever few months but I wouldn't take the risk as I cannot see if the descaling was effective enough. In summary - poorly designed product; I would recommend spending a little more and buying something bigger. I am going back to my old steel filter - After all Granny was right !

Good product, though cup size capaciyu is too small.

Nice and compact - doesn't take too much space. This was a big part of the consideration in a WFH environment. But the drip's really fast and the coffee flavor doesn't seep through - looks like it's back to the moka pot for now.

Bought this to make me coffee during late night studies and going by the reviews, it definitely looked like a bad choice but since this was the only one that fitted in my budget I went ahead and got one of this. The unit is small with a water reservoir just enough to hold 1 glass of water and a coffee filter wont take more than 2 teaspoons of coffee powder. Anything more than 2 spoons would mean that there wont be enough space for diffusion and the coffee powder is going to spill across the filter and you'll end up with tiny coffee particles on your coffee. That actually shouldn't be a concern because this unit is for making one cup of coffee at a time so perfect if you use it that way. Its worth mentioning that when you take your cup of coffee after the process, though it doesn't come with a spring stopper, the leftover water doesn't drip hence saving you a lot of time when it comes to cleaning. The filter is easily accessible for cleaning after each use and it definitely looks like it'll last the lifetime of the machine.

The product is OSUM! Though, I have couple of questions to the guys who have bought this espresso maker. Does the power button on the back of the machine works? When I press the power button on the machine, it doesn't seem to move in/out, its like a dummy. The machine works the moment I plug it and switch on the electric switch (main power). Does your machine also function the same way. Second, the dispense of coffee is not in one go and takes long around 40 -50 seconds to fill one full cup (white mug) is this the case so with every one? Appreciate if any of you could reply me, this will help me decide whether a replacement is required for this product. Thank you.

Won’t brew as well as any manual brewing method but still better than instant Easy to use , cleaning is difficult and replacement basket or compatible paper filter is difficult to find
