Makes decent coffee. Have had for a couple of weeks. Liked the idea of a one or two cup coffee brewer. My biggest gripe is that coffee keeps coming out (dripping) once you remove the cup. It makes a bit of a mess when you are in a hurry.
I definitely recommend owning this if you live by yourself. They can be a little difficult to put on though.
I tend to brew one or two batches of coffee per day, and I have had no trouble with the on/off switch as some reviewers did. I've had my Two-to-Go coffee maker for five years now.
Water gets inside (in the insulating layer) and leaks out if you do, but that was a minor inconvenience.The tops stay on securely and don't leak unless the rubber o-ring is out of place. I also don't have problems with overflowing/uneven filling of coffee mugs, although I did have that happen when the machine was on an uneven surface.
I didn't know that Cuisinart recommended not putting the mugs in the dishwasher, so I used to do that all the time. Of course, I don't mind having to force them on because it makes me believe that the top is secure.The simplicity of the machine also makes it really easy to clean.Overall, I have been very pleased with the quality of the coffee brewed, and the machine pays for itself in a month of not going to a coffee shop.
A whole pot of coffee is usually too much for one.
It brews much faster than my old coffee maker but the coffee does not taste any better than my old one made. The filter holder has a swing up handle which is convenient but rather fragile. The "insulated" cups get very hot when filled with coffee so I don't know how long the coffee will stay hot if you take it with you. I drink the coffee at home so it is used rather quickly so I don't care.
This is my third Cuisinart TTG-500. I like the product, speed and quality of the brewed coffee. They just don't last forever. I get about 2 1/2 years and they just start not-performing.
This coffee make is wonderful for people on the go. Fast brewing time, automatic shut off and you can brew one or two cups ready to go out the door. Only con, no automatic start.
