This is the fifth Black and Decker Personal coffee maker I have purchased in the past 10 years. They usually last for about 2 years so it is a great value. I find that over time the heating element eventually dies. It does not happen slowly, it happens in an instant. It is not a safety hazard though it just stops working. So I always keep a second one on hand in the box for when the one I am currently using dies. I never use the Black and Decker mugs because I drink my coffee at home and never on my commute so I just donate the mugs. So I cannot comment on the quality of the mug or if it makes the coffee taste strange. I can only commet on the coffee maker itself. It is awesome. It is super easy to use. I love Maxwell House and even if I have family staying over I can make them personal cups of flavored coffee they enjoy that I do not. I have never had anyone say that the coffee tasted bad or was not too hot. On the contrary, everyone loves this coffee maker and my neighbors and family have actually purchased one themselves after trying mine. I personally think this makes a better cup of coffee than my larger coffee maker which is a top of the line Cuisinart. This Black and Decker produces coffee that is very hot, it is always brewed perfectly and it is so easy to clean up. The filter works extremely well and is easy to dump the grounds into the trash and then just run it under water and it cleans up quickly without any mess. You just have to wait until the filter area cools off from the hot water than runs through it. I also have never had coffee grounds in my coffee because if you measure it as per the instructions you will not ever overflow the filter. I think anyone who gives this a bad review did not read the instructions that come with the product. This is a superior personal coffee maker and you should never have to use a secondary filter in addition to the permanent filter. I highly recommend this versus any Pod system. Just measure per the instructions and you will have the best mug of coffee and at the best price on the market. It takes only a couple of minutes, so it is also super quick. It also has a very small footprint so it does not take up a lot of space on the counter top and it is easy to store too in a drawer or under the sink because it is not very tall either. It also accomodates a multitude of mug sizes. Again though you need to measure your coffee and water per the instructions to ensure there is not an overflow and that the coffee to water ratio is correct to produce an excellent cup of coffee.

This is a really good coffee maker although poorly designed
I was too hasty in judging this unit and have upgraded my review from 1 star to 4 stars.Why?Well, I was understandably upset when the little plastic attachment between the lid and the "showerhead" broke the first time I unsnapped it to clean it, as recommended in the instruction manual before first use.However, upon inspecting it later I realized that this did not render the unit unusable as I had initially thought.Okay... So while I am returning it, since it broke before first use, I decided that since it was broke they can't resell it, so I may as well see how it makes coffee.I set it up for a cup of coffee and I found that:a) it makes the coffee very quickly - perhaps too quickly, I thoughtb) it makes the coffee plenty hot (some had said it did not)c) the coffee tasted very good!While I am displeased that the showerhead is connected to the lid with a very small and easily breakable piece of plastic and thus it did break the first time I unsnapped it to clean the lid as instructed, I have to admit this thing does make a good cup of coffee.Furthermore it takes up less space than most any other electric coffee maker I have seen.It has no heating pad so you don't have to worry about forgetting to turn it off - it just makes one cup at a time.The one downside is that this can only make about 15 oz of coffee as it holds only 16oz of water. I like to drink 16 oz so with this unit I have to drink an oz. less than I would prefer. No big deal but worth mentioning.Honestly I do like this coffee maker and will probably buy one to use for when I'm in a hurry.When I am not in a hurry I have decided to use a Hario type pour-through system which takes more time to make BUT makes a much better cup of coffee AND is BPA and phthalate etc free as the water and coffee do not come into contact with any plastic.But for a quick cup when I'm in a hurry, this little unit will do.I took one star off for the crummy manufacturing/design which causes the lid to become detached from the showerhead so easily. The fact that you can still use the coffee maker after this breaks and the fact that it makes a good and quick cup of coffee made me rate it 4 stars.
