Title: cheaply made
Product review: Fortunately (or unfortunately) I received this coffee maker as a gift this past Christmas. I was so disappointed that after only using it for 6 months that it broke while closing the pod compartment (the closing mechanism has always been a pain to use). It has always made "marginal" coffee at best, but I tolerated it as a trade off for a single serve quick cup of coffee. For a replacement, I decided to "get what I pay for" with the Bunn single serve coffee maker that got rave reviews. I would have never purchased this for myself in the first place if I had done the research on single serve coffee makers, but thought I'd give it a try since it was a gift. Very disappointed in the quality. I should have known better since I'm not a big fan of Black and Decker appliances in the first place.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
