    A:  Other users have reported similar problems. Have you tried cleaning the brewer?

    by|May 4, 2023

      A:  It has been used only 5 times and I wouldn't think it needs to be cleaned! It will not draw up the liquid from the water tank! I would use vinegar but if it doesn't draw it up there is no way to clean it!

                Great 1 person coffee maker
                I bought this coffee maker because I wanted to be able to make coffee for myself and I was tired of using a regular coffee maker with filters and always making too much coffee! I was debating between this and a Keurig but I found this one was much more compact which was what I wanted seeing my husbands espresso machine already takes up most of the counter :( It's easy to fill the water - either by pouring your cup of water in the top or you can remove the top and take it over to the tap. The coffee maker is quite tall - it fits under my cabinets however, I do need to slide it out if I am pouring the water in the top. The filter is also easy to clean - just a quick tap over my green bin and a rinse and it's done. You can also use a larger size coffee cup instead of the travel mug that comes with it - I haven't tried a small mug than my picture but I don't think it would splatter. I usually make the coffee in the travel mug and it gives me 2 cups of coffee in my cup. The travel mug does not keep the coffee warm so if I'm taking it to go, I'll use my Starbucks mug. The only other small thing that's somewhat bothersome is that the travel mug fits quite snugly in the coffee maker so sometimes it's a little fiddly to get in the right spot. This is definitely just a one person coffee maker - if you were making coffee for more than a couple of people, this coffee maker would not be a good idea. And it's a bit pricey but it looks nicer and saves space compared to my $40 old style coffee makers.

                Best little coffeemaker. EVER!
                I have had this coffeemaker for years, and absolutely love it. I was shocked to learn this morning that it is no longer available, and don't know what I'll do if and when it quits. I have never used the included mug, simply brewed into whichever mug, insulated or not, that I want to use on any given day. This machine makes excellent coffee, and I have never found a single issue to complain about. It's eco-friendly, no pods to take up landfill, and certainly less expensive than having to keep a supply of coffee pods on hand. I done understand for three life of me why KitchenAid is no longer producing and selling this wonderful little coffee maker; it takes almost no counter space, is absolutely perfect for singles, and makes wonderful coffee. What more could you ask from it? Please, KitchenAid, make this terrific little coffeemaker available again🙏🏻🤞

                    Best cup of coffee, nothing else compares
                    I wish KitchenAid would make this single brew coffee maker again. It makes a perfect cup of coffee, using a paper cone filter. This shape of filter results in the best tasting coffee. It is hot. We even brew it right into an oversized mug when not needing the travel mug. Best solution for delicious hot full strength coffee. My college age kids love it too. I have to resort to buying the last used model I can find.

                        Great coffee
                        It is now 3 years that I have had this machine. I use it 5 to 7 times a day. I have a plastic measuring cup that I use to measure and pour the water into the machine. I also use a #4 paper filter as I find the filter that comes with the machine leaves too many grind in the coffee. I use a 20 oz coffee cup. I leave the water reservoir lid up so that there is no water sitting in the machine and have never had any smells. After reading comments about them breaking down, I bought myself an extra machine about a year ago but have tested it and but it back into the box it came in. This makes the best tasting and hot coffee. I also have a tasinmo (spelling?) machine and have used the same coffee in both machines.(Have 2 tasinmo - 1 old and 1 newer) This machine tastes a lot better and makes a much hotter coffee. If you get a chance to get this machine jump at it as it uses grind coffee and will save you a bundle of money to operate. Cleaning is easy- just wipe machine and rinse the water reservoir.

                          Love this coffee maker
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Delighted with this coffee maker- easy to use, quick brewing and the insulated mug keeps my coffee warm for a good length of time. Highly recommend it!

                            CANT CLEAN THE WATER RESERVOIR
                            I have had this maker for 2 years now and faithfully cleaned the water reservoir each month with vinegar and rinse with hot water. Today, when doing the same thing I happened to see a black film on the water. Low and behold when I managed to fit my finger in there it was full of black sticky sludge! OMG! It was filthy inside! Being a sealed unit and not being able to clean it properly its built up over time. Its impossible to clean it out even with a bottle brush. Maybe this is why they are no longer for purchase. Off to the recycle center it goes!!

                              Good coffee maker but terrible thermal mug.
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The coffee maker is very good but the 18 ounce thermal mug has a terrible odor that I have not been able to remove. I had to purchase a new mug with a stainless steel interior that is easy to clean and has no odor.
