Title: Don't waste your money. There are MUCH better machines!
Product review: This was my first single-serve coffee maker. While it did get me "hooked" on single-serve coffee, the machine itself was so poorly made, it virtually self-destructed right before my eyes. Online reviews of this machine are almost unanimously negative. Don't waste your money: start with one of the better-reviewed machines and enjoy wonderful coffee at home, with no mess, fuss, or waste.I now have a Keurig pod machine and absolutely love it. I use it not just to make coffee and tea, but also instant oatmeal and instant mashed potatoes. (Yes, it's possible to be a coffee snob but not an oatmeal/potato snob!)All the structural and functional integrity the B&D; coffee maker lacks, the Senseos, Melittas, Bunns, and Keurigs have. I have no business interest in any of these -- just want to make sure folks don't waste their hard-earned money on one of these junky ones from B&D.; And apparently I am not alone in that opinion!
