- Coffee grounds frequently enter the water reservoir and seep between the permanent filter and the filter housing, which means even more effort cleaning the unit between brews.I use a paper filter - Melitta # 1 filters ( also sold on amazon) fit this machine perfectly and make it even easier to maintain.

It's easy to clean with its permanent filter (rinse or throw in dishwasher), looks great in our contemporary kitchen in black and ususally he lets it fill up his ceramic coffee cup and not the portable one - just make sure your home mugs will fit: there's just a hair over 5 1/4" of vertical space for a mug -).Unfortunately, that means you'll grab your cup while the filter is still dripping.Recommend buying number 2 cone filters less mess.- Drips when you move filter basket - just leave your cup under there for a little more previous coffee!.The coffee filter is very small (holds just enough for one cup) and the water tub is very small (again, only meant to hold enough to fill one coffee cup).No measuring cup is necessary as using the coffee mug itself to fill the water chamber works just fine.So don't buy this machine if you use finely ground coffee.NOTE: I use fine ground coffee though - which means I get a stronger taste with less grounds.I like my coffee strong so I'd put in some exra coffee grounds but they splattered all over and cleaning the permanent filter was very messy.And yes, there are grounds in my cup of coffee.When I use about 2/3 or 3/4 a mug of water and 1 scoop (about 1 tablespoon) of grounds, I got a great tasting cup of coffee with no grounds.Making sure to add the proper amount of coffee and keeping the permanent filter clean after each use, which is easily done, should prevent any problems with the grounds floating out of the filter into the water container.You end up with a cup of hot coffee that's filled with coffee grounds.To stop grounds from floating into the water resevoir, use drip or cone ground coffee.Before throwing out the water from the mug, I noticed an unpleasant hot plastic odor.Assuming it was from manufacturing, I repeated the hot water brewing cycle.If you just want good hot water that doesn't taste like the microwave, then this's a good purchase.The cup has a really strong new plastic smell - I ran it through the dishwasher twice and keep soaping it in really hot water, but it still makes the coffee taste weird (I also keep running the coffee pot with plain water in case the cause is the maker as well). The coffee tastes great and is very hot.This product is fine for quick single servings, as there's no hot plate to keep your beverage warm.Before brewing my first cup of coffee, I washed all components, and ran hot water through a brew cycle.Then it started to leak water from the tube that brings hot water from the heating element to the drip head, back into the water reservoir.Great, it's under warranty.
