It's okay not great the filter is drop down a lot of fine coffee ground to the cup and no auto shut off.

It is nice & small. Seems perfect for travel. You probably will want to buy coffee pods, so you won't have to clean grounds out of the brew basket.

It certainly could be. It's small and easy to use. You would only need to take ground coffee with you as it doesn't use pods. It's also easy to clean on the road.

I think this would travel well! It doesn't use pods so bring ground coffee with you and a good size mug. It wouldn't take up much space in luggage either.

Yes. There may be occasional issues but for the most part, this is not a problem. We are huge fans of this coffee maker.

Sandy, I had this coffee machine... IT STINKS.. to put it mildly. Same problem you are having. I loved the coffee but the pot was a pain to deal with. The only model worth the money and I'd buy it over and over again is the "Hamilton Beach 48464 Brewstation Summit" Believe me, get the 48464 and you will not be disappointed one bit. GREAT COFFEE, NO LEAKING, NO PROBLEMS... I THINK IT IS BEST TO START OUT WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE SO YOU WILL NEVER BE WEAK ENOUGH TO PURCHASE THAT MODEL AGAIN.GET RID OF THIS ONE AND GET THE ONE I HAVE. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY....

Agreed. I wish I would have bought one much sooner. It works, makes a damn good cup of coffee (especially compared to the Keurig My K-Cup) and you can get a pound of good coffee for $8-10 (obviously less if you're not picky...im picky)

I'm not surprised . . . I returned mine about an hour after I received it when I realized that programming the features was going to be an issue. It has been my experience that issues early on are signs of more issues down the road. The more I hear about this coffeemaker, the happier I am with my decision to return it. Good luck with yours.

Hi, Kathy. I looked a long time for a coffee maker that that was if good quality and had a thermal carafe that would keep the coffee reasonable hot/warm all morning. I didn't want a hot plate heater, as the coffee didn't taste very good after a few hours and they would use a lot of electricity. I worried that the Bunn would use a lot of electricity with it's instant hot water reservoir, but my bill doesn't show any change because it is well insolated. I have been very happy with my choice. I'm 85 and I have seen lots more coffee makers than most folks.Regards, hope this is helpful, OldHenry Hi, Kathy.

Given the same coffee I would personally just brew a pot. We bought this to have in our RV and it works great for that. It is small, not easily broken and the k-cups are sealed and keep fresh for a long time. I would highly recommend this item for that application.

hey, it might help. I had simmilar (cheaper) coffe maker from Ikea (not Bialetti) for few years. The valve brokes one time in the morning, and because I am not compatible with the day without cafe, so I placed there a wood stick - toothpick was a perfect time. I had my cafe that day, and this works for few years. :-) It would propably work longer, but I guess my Mom throw the whole thing away while I was on year trip, because it was ugly and dirty, and I had to get new one.

I wouldn't travel with it. It's not a heavy duty coffee thermos. It's more of a solid tumbler. A fun solid tumbler. I had planned to take coffee to work in it but don't. No problem with keeping coffee hot longer at home.

I've had many mr. coffees...the JWX23 is a pretty decent unit...it's our second one...we get a couple years out of them...maybe a year and a half...we make a couple of pots every day.Every couple months we run vinegar through...keeps the brewing speed good...I tried black and decker...some of them are o.k...I tried the mr. coffee with the insulated decanter...never hot enough...we had one black and decker like that, and another black and decker that was super hot...Before you buy any coffee maker, smell the water chamber...some of the other companies use bad smelling rubber components...I'd recommend the JWX23...it's one of their better ones so far...If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have bought the 2nd one....

I has opinion! Often I will make a single cup without using the server - just direct to mug - which is great. Where this shines is being able to make coffee for both my wife and I on weekend mornings. If you're ever going to make two cups of coffee, this is so totally worth it.

I've had mine for about four months. I know that's not two years, but it has worked great for my purposes so far. I mainly got it for travel, and took it to Vega$ in my suitcase and had great coffee in the room every morning. The lightweight plastic design and compact size makes it great for travel. I've been using it in the mornings at home for single cups of coffee, too. Hope this was helpful. :)

I live in the UK and have a vacation home in Florida. I love our Keurig, I've advised Keurig they're missing a trick by not selling to the UK and European market. Anyhow, we have a power "inverter" already that reduces 220v down to 110v for some less powerful electrical items we've taken back over the years. After a little research we are buying another Keurig Machine to take back. At 1500 watts you need to get an inverter that handles that amount of power. Check out 220-electronics.com. I'm buying the inverter here in the US also, way-way cheaper than buying in the UK and probably the rest of Europe, be mindful they are heavy. Inverters/transformers/converters, call them watt you like, they work fine. A bit bulky to have on a counter top possibly but I've figured out a way to hide mine and feed it to an electrical socket..... Happy Days!!

I decided on the K75 Platinum due to the size of the water reservoir being so large, hence not needing to fill as often, the fact that you can set the K75 to turn off and then back on to heat the water in time for your needed cup. I don't like having the power on all the time so this feature is awesome. this package deal also came with the charcoal filter and a refillable, removable coffee filter so you can use your own coffee as well as a large selection of the Kcups so we could decide which type/brand of coffee we liked. We found we have entirely different tastes in our coffee. Love, love, love our K75 Platinum! Hope this helped as I really didn't look that much further at the B70 after finding the K75.

I think the real advantage to the MyJo Single over either a standard Keurig machine or a regular drip machine is that the MyJo takes zero counter space. I can place it in a cupboard and only take it out when I want a cup or two. I just went camping and regretted the whole time not taking it with me. To me, the speed and quality is equivalent to any other type of coffee maker. The convenience and price, though, leave everything else in the dust.

You are welcome and I hope this helps in making a decision for purchasing this. For further information, I have had this for two months with daily use making single cups of coffee and it has shown no wear like other commenters had mentioned in their feed backs

Not likely.... this machine is almost perfect for home use, but not that suitable for commercial use, even if its a small coffee shop. You will need a faster machine, specially when frothing milk... this machine is reliable but definitely slow for commercial use, so you might find yourself delaying the coffee orders because you would not be able to deliver them on time. Additionally, I dont think this machine would stand the this level of commercial usage for long.... maybe 1 year max. By the way, 50-100 cups a a day is not that small, I rather say its medium sized coffee shop. Go for the known and reliable brands on the market such as Rancilio, Cimbali, Gaggia, etc. They are costly but they well pay themselves in less than a year.... its a pretty straight forward business, dont go for the cheap!
