Toastess TFC-25T Silhouette 800-Watt Personal-Size Coffeemaker with Stainless-Steel Travel Mug

Bought a 8oz single cup coffee maker the other day, but

was displeased with it, was not enough to fill my coffee mug.

It was just enough to fill a tea sized cup.

I then bought this unit, that provides 15oz of coffee.

Fills my coffee mug with a little left over.

Note: you can add just a tad more water, to provide

two cups of 8oz coffee.

Very well constructed unit, and also looks great on the counter.

Also take note, it does shut off automatically once coffee

finishes brewing, which is approximately a quick 2 1/2 minutes.

Works well, and makes a great cup of coffee.

I'm a college student, so I was interested in something cheap and compact, but still functional.

This coffee maker is a BREEZE to clean, just rinse out the permanent filter-no other mess involved) even for someone as lazy as me, and works impressively fast. I am still in awe of the fact that seconds after I turn it on, it is pouring HOT HOT coffee into my cup. It is also a simple enough design that I can trust my roommates to use it without worrying they'll break it...(and also cheap enough that it wouldn't matter terribly if they did)

The only other mug I have used with it is as tall as the one included and I would caution against using a cup/mug that isn't tall, as I suspect there would be some splatter.

Another feature I love is that it is incredibly easy to use it as a water-heater; even if you need more than 15 oz., it works fast enough that you can just use it multiple times.

All in all, I am completely satisfied and have no complaints whatsoever. (I have had it for about a month, during which I've used it about 4 times a week)

I am a serious coffee drinker and when my last single serve coffee maker finally died, I ordered this one. After reading all the reviews I thought this sounds like a great coffee maker. My new coffee maker arrived and I made a cup of coffee for the next day to take on my comute to work only to discover that my coffee tasted blah hot water (just like one of the reviews stated). When I did read that review I thought, well they didn't add enough coffee, so the next day I made another cup of coffee, I made sure to put more coffee grounds in the filter. Well, to my dismay, blah hot water again, but with just a hint of flavor. For the amount of coffee you have to put in the filter to just get a good cup of coffee is not worth the cost of this coffee maker. I returned this and ordered my old brand the Black and Decker Brew-N-Go. Now this is a coffee maker, I should have just ordered it from the get go.

I recently bought this coffee maker and am impressed with what I got for the money. It's utterly simple to use and it's basic, a nice difference from the expensive and complex machines out there. I'm impressed. If you want to fill up your travel mug, it's perfect because that's what it seems meant for. It comes with a travel mug. Anyway, I've only had it for a couple of weeks, and can offer just two possible things worth considering: First, for some reason you have to unplug the cord from your outlet once the coffee is done. That has taken some getting used to. Second, once the coffee seems done, I have to put a coffee cup in place of the travel mug to catch drips. There is a removable drip tray, and I'm still getting used to figuring out when it's done and when I can pull the travel mug out from under the drip-thing. So the price is right, it comes with a permanent filter so buying paper filters isn't necessary, and it's simple, looks nice and is easy to use. So far I really like how it has simplified my life. The best part is that I was able to throw out my Cuisinart piece of expensive coffee-maker junk.

I use this coffeemaker everyday and it is a sturdy and compact design just like I was looking for. It also brews coffee quickly, about 3 minutes for 15oz. The nylon filter is great, no more emptying paper filters, and does not allow grinds through.

Things I don't like:

>The mug does not keep the coffee warm for very long 4/5 minutes tops

>Coffee drips behind the mug while brewing and spills pushing the mug all the way to the back of the maker HELPS with this.

This gets an OK overall review, the biggest frustration for me is the coffee spilling during brewing.

Primula 4 Cup Classic Coffee Press, Chrome

The definition of 4 cups is simply wrong. I know companies like Bodum Presses define a cup as 4 oz but this company for some unknown reason defines a cup as 3 oz. Bottom line is this is a 14 oz container which will hold 12oz of liquid + coffee grinds so it will make only a single 12oz mug of coffee and not a drop more. If that is what you are after then read on.

Aside from the glass beaker, the materials are on the cheap side compared to a Bodum, but a Bodum will cost about 2x as much for the same size making this a 'relatively' good value for the price.

Bottom line, good relative value as price is low and materials are acceptably cheap and know this will in no way make 4 cups of coffee. I was deceived by the 4 cup description but fortunately 12 ounces was exactly what I needed so it works for me.

For those new to the French Press thing know that many people, myself included, consider this the absolute best way to make coffee. One of the differences is that the coffee oils are not absorbed by a paper filter adding to the taste but it is more than that. Making a great cup of French/Pot Press coffee is simple but really requires knowing what you are doing and that takes practice. 1) It all starts with the beans know that the subtle nuances of flavor are very apparent with this brewing method so it is easy to taste the difference in the beans it's not like Coke vs Pepsi the difference can be extreme between beans. I tested many different types of beans over months to find the ones that I enjoyed most. One of my favorites is Starbucks French Roast which tastes totally different than Peaks French Roast which I don't care for but that is about personal taste, not quality of products. I also prefer Starbucks Sumatra more than Peats but again, just personal preference. Differences are huge to my palette. 2) Beans for this method must be coarse, medium grind is for drip while fine grind is for expresso, and ultra fine is for Turkish. The wrong size bean will change the flavor very noticeably. 3) Ideally it is best to grind your beans just before brewing for the best freshest taste so you will need a Burr grinder, NOT a blade grinder which will not let you control grind size 4) Next is water, you want to use only clean, filtered water same with all brewing methods. Tap water, at least from my kitchen is horrible. 5) Boil the water in a kettle and then let it cool for at least 10-20 seconds. Too hot will burn the coffee and give it a bitter taste. I usually pour some of the boiled water in my mug first as that will warm up the mug while the coffee is brewing, so when your coffee is ready it will stay warm. 6) Steep time. Start with about 4 minutes that what works for me. Too long and bitterness will creep in. Too short and it will taste diluted. Remember you are using a coarse grind so less surface are which is why steep times are longer. Finer grinds extract quicker so brew time and grind size are very much related. 7) Experiment with all the above variables until you find what works for you. Varying any of the above will change the taste. Making the perfect cup of coffee is both an art and a science 8) Enjoy. You may find that with many type of beans that the flavor will change with each sip since as it cools the flavor changes. Anyway, that's my trick!!!

This does the job fine and the price was right. It makes about 13 oz. of coffee. All these presses are described as making x number of "cups" which are presumed to be 4 oz. cups for some incomprehensible reason. However, once you account for the space the grounds take up and a little air space at the top, the capacity is even less than that. Therefore, a 4-cup press is needed to make a largish mug. The 3-cup press I tried first yielded only 10 oz.

I have been using a French Press for a few years now and it makes as espresso style of coffee which measures smaller than an American cup of coffee. I like my coffee strong and a small container like this makes it just right for my one cup, you can't beat a french press for a wonderful cup of coffee, you adjust the amount of coffee to how strong you like it and if you add milk or not. It's helpful to look up directions for this online before buying, you can better judge if it's for you and how big a pot to get. You get coffee grounds in your drink if you don't grind the coffee course enough or the filter is not kept straightened out allowing grounds to escape the filter. I'm looking for another one since I have worn my first one out after 5 + years.

Use it everyday, the mesh filter is nice and fine so hardly no grounds come through, as long as you grind your beans using french press mode.

We bought this for my brother-in-law for Christmas and he uses it all the time! It's the perfect size for one mug of coffee. It says it's 4 cups, but I'm pretty sure that describes the entire volume. You have to account for the space the coffee grounds take up. Like I said, perfect for a single serving in a standard mug!
